We will indeed miss Bob! But at the same time we couldn't be more happy for him and for the administration of justice. He will continue to make stellar contributions, now from the other side of the dias. Congrats Bob!
Huge congratulations to yet another #yeg lawyer I know who's ascending to the bench. All the best to Bob Aloneissi. I'm sure @_LibertyLaw will miss you! @QB_Alberta
Congrats to our partner Kim Hardstaff (@kmhardstaff ), whose exceptional advocacy secured an acquittal for her client against a charge of sexual assault in Grand Prairie today.
Liberty Law is excited that Ronald Berger, QC, will be joining the firm as counsel. We look forward to the Hon. Mr. Berger continuing his sterling career at our firm, and benefitting the legal community with his knowledge and practical wisdom.
Great to have Appellate Counsel @ZaKhatib participating in this panel about best practices for mentorship during the pandemic and going forward.
We're certainly listening and putting these in practice!

In the short time since we welcomed Zachary Al-Khatib as Appellate Counsel last month, he's shown why he earned respect and accolades from judges on the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. We're grateful he's come home to a city with a real hockey team and is @_LibertyLaw !

@RichardFHowes @KPateontheHill @ElizabethMay Indigenous peoples were broken by historically unfair laws long before they "broke" the law - or more accurately- unfairly targeted by law enforcement. As taxpayers, we are all paying exorbitant taxes for a penal policy that doesn't work. Time to fix this with policies that do!

Canadian penal policy needs a reset. As the article notes, we spend more on Corrections than we do on the Justice Department and the CBC combined. If we invest properly in getting it right at the outset, then maybe we would not be making so many mistakes that need Corrections !
Welcome news in the dismantling the Harper-era "3 strikes" equivalent which has destroyed lives and clogged the justice system. A "smart on crime" approach, as well as courageous leadership is needed to solve problems that affect us all as a society.
THREAD: Within minutes of emailing me this morning asking I make two changes to my story about a former officer, Lethbridge police - @lethpolice - sent out a press release to dozens of not hundreds of people claiming I had made “several inaccuracies” in my story...
