It was a real honour to represent Asper Centre on this case. Great counsel, interesting & important issues, and a wonderful co-counsel - Neil Abraham. This is the type of work that confirms for me - I really am a law nerd!

[Asper Centre @AsperCentre]

The blog post includes comments by litigators Neil Abraham and @MegStephensLaw, on the implications of the decision for future Charter challenges.

Thank you Vlad for this contribution and special thanks to Neil and Megan for acting as our pro-bono counsel in this intervention🙏

@cjmandell @Dahlialithwick Can’t recommend this enough! @Dahlialithwick spoke at @holyblossom this winter with and it was brilliant - and funny… and inspiring. And this book is a must read!

Editing a factum. Listening to Gordon Lightfoot like so many this week. Brings me right back to my family’s living room in the late 70s/early 80s. His songs, all Beatles tunes, and Free to be You & Me - soundtracks of my childhood. Thanks mom & dad (both too wise for Twitter)

[Megan Stephens @MegStephensLaw]

@DeepaMattoo @OBAlawyers @schliferclinic Brilliant choice!!

[Megan Stephens @MegStephensLaw]

@robinparker_law This is so upsetting. The process to lift or vary these pub bans really needs to be simplified (and crowns need to get input before getting these bans imposed).
