I know court administration isn’t the sexiest topic but is no one covering the lack of judges in Ontario?

CJ Morawetz made a public plea for more appointments yesterday.

Last year the articling students at my firm did not get their commissioners stamp until April. Missing out on a huge opportunity to commission affidavits...so I do not have to.

We are all bots. Totally nothing here worth buying. I hear Facebook is 100% authentic and where all the cool kids are.

s 33.1 struck down!! Notably: drunkenness is not and never was a defence to sexual assault. Media reporting report on Brown/extreme intoxication should highlight the SCC’s plain language, very important distinction between automatism and drunkenness.

@amneetbali All of these people claiming 'the majority of protestors are not white supremacists' - how many nazis joining your "movement" is acceptable to you? How many have to join before you decide to leave?

Ottawa Police say they've laid no charges. @GetBAC has an interesting point. The last time protestors without a permit shut down 1 intersection, police arrested 13 people after 36 hours. They were Indigenous and Black activists protesting police powers.

I am noticing people post support for causes adjacent to the far right (the convoy) responding to comments criticizing them with a lot of: "Love wins" "I say this with love" and "I respect your opinion please respect mine".

It's a naked attempt to shut down any discussion.

Just saw a truck outside my doctor’s office in Ottawa, as the convoy starts arriving in town. It had two flags stuck into the back of its truck-bed. One was an upside down Canadian flag. The other, a Confederate flag.

The only thing worse than watching the pandemic in tv shows is writing about it in a claim.

“The idea that the Charter-protected right of free speech permits lawyers to act in a way that denigrates the rights, integrity or humanity of other individuals is absurd.”

I am not the only one who is extremely tired of playing whack-a-mole with bad takes in response to abortion bans. So here: an incomplete list of arguments to avoid making when discussing abortion bans. 🧵

Our final tweet: a tribute to our volunteers. Since March, they've posted thousands of updates, responded to thousands of questions, and helped save thousands of lives. It’s been our honour. (Sound on!)

In some small (not law related) news. My brother Jack Quail is in a movie.

It is ultra-80s, ultra-Canadian and it comes out today!

You can spot him in the trailer as the bully in the red jacket.

Watch the trailer 'The Exchange' starring Justin Hartley and Avan Jogia 📽️

The mass grave of #215children is apparently no longer front page news for the @TorontoStar. I had to scroll to the bottom of the page to see a single story about it.

Buried under *four* stories about the Leafs. This is how settler Canadians feel permission to move on.

If anyone on #lawtwitter is looking for a dog, I am fostering this absolute sweetheart and she needs a home.

Mind-blowing. 🤯

While 8 seasons seems like a lot for a cartoon today, it has to be considered that each season is extremely short: only 10 episodes that are 10 minutes each. 8 seasons of Infinity Train would be shorter than most shows #FinishInfinityTrain

Today, as the Ontario Government voted against #PaidSickDays for the 21st time since the start of the pandemic...we were all reminded that the Premier's tears were never actually real.
