@IRPlawyer Must be painful for the Crown Attorney to read this kind of thing during file review/screening. Congrats Kyla.

@C_Bo_74 … the enforcement regime needs to be tightened up. The public needs to have trust that the sureties and the police will be upholding the conditions of release. And trust is a difficult thing to regain once it is lost.

[Michael Kohl @K_O_H_L]

@C_Bo_74 I think that much of the pushback with respect to bail has to do with loss of trust in its enforcement. It is often expected that breaches and estrestment will fall by the wayside in the scope of an “expected” global resolution. The right to bail is fundamental, but… /1

@FuturEconomy The re-aligning of global trade, especially in energy, brought on by the rapid change in the world political climate.

@AKBrews No. Just no.

@SherifMFoda @SewrattanLaw @SainiLaw @chrisrudnicki_ @Nader_Hasan_law YES!

One of the more troubling aspects of the #SCC majority’s decision in R v Beaver is its departure from decades-old precedent on s. 24(2) of the Charter without acknowledging it. 1/

I think that the Wagner Court of 2022 may be the least friendly to Charter rights of any @SCC_eng in the post-1982 Charter era — at least in the criminal context. 1/

@TomSurmanski I almost had to litigate this three years ago before common sense prevailed. Glad to see a written decision on it.

[Michael Kohl @K_O_H_L]

@AKBrews No. Just no.

Hey #lawtwitter. Why did you quit practicing law? I’ll go first: disabled child.

[Michael Kohl @K_O_H_L]

Snow’s finally here.

[Michael Kohl @K_O_H_L]

@AKBrews Does this count?

[Michael Kohl @K_O_H_L]

@RHDefence @TrevorJLau @legalanalyst @TeixeiraLauren_ Great looking website. And congrats on your expansion!

[Michael Kohl @K_O_H_L]

@cainesandco Haha thank you. I think that’s the first and last time this will come up for me at least for the next decade.

[Michael Kohl @K_O_H_L]

@AKBrews Probably similar to whoever was buying this taxidermied rat pencil case.

@AKBrews Is this where I get my CPD hours?

[Michael Kohl @K_O_H_L]

@AKBrews I hope it’s not made of otter felt lol.

[Michael Kohl @K_O_H_L]

@cainesandco I had to dip so far down into my memory bank to remember this. But once I did, it was worth it. Good job 👏
