@JedKMeshew Not so sure about that. He continues to to clinch or try to grapple when his advantage against Hernandez is on the feet

A timely reminder. Criminal defence lawyers are not accessories after the fact. We do not defend, justify or condone what our clients are alleged to have done. We defend our clients' rights to a fair process in the courts. The system would be in chaos without us there. /2

There is no such thing as automatic bail. It does not exist.

@allieadamo @AriGoldkind @fordnation You either haven't spend a single second in bail court in your life or fundamentally misunderstand the role of duty counsel. Government "for the people", except the poor ones it seems.

CCLA WINS: Ontario's highest court agrees that #patient #ReproductiveRights + #endoflife #freedom prevails over #physician freedoms. An effective referral by doctor minimally impairs physician freedom and fulfills the patients' rights. #onpoli #canpoli #abortion #DyingMatters

Heavy metal fans used kazoos to drown out a Westboro Baptist Church protest against transgender lawmaker, and fellow metalhead, Danica Roem

"Legalization"

[Canadian Civil Liberties Association @cancivlib]

This is what the re-criminalization of cannabis looks like: not a fine, but 10 months in jail for possession over 30 grams. https://t.co/8bYtSqpLPk

@theJagmeetSingh Don't overlook the fact that she did a terrible job in crim justice reform, cannabis legalization and assisted dying just because its politically expedient to cast her in a good light now

[Criminelle Law @CriminelleLaw]

Hello, I’m a criminal defense lawyer. You may know me from my greatest hits including “I sleep just fine at night”, “what’s so hard about never talk to the police?” and “witness testimony *is* evidence”

Look for my new tracks “Stop Googling!” and “appeal is another retainer”!!

[Existential Comics (find me on bluesky) @existentialcoms]

Existentialism: life is despair.
Absurdism: despair is meaningless.
Pessimism: they're is no way out of despair.
Nihilism: it doesn't even matter that we despair.
Capitalism: can u sell despair? asking for a friend.

[Criminal Lawyers’ Association @ClaOntario]

We are extremely disappointed with today’s announcement from @JusticeCanadaEN. The Jordan decision was meant to encourage all justice participants to be more efficient instead of removing important procedural safeguards for the accused. This legislation gravely misses the mark.

@wizardofdawes Next game is Monday at 3!

[Brook Laforest @brooklaforest]

@wizardofdawes The last 5 years have easily been the club's worst in the last 3 decades so you haven't missed much. They also play the most stale/boring brand of football of all the top English teams. But since when is being a fan rational or enjoyable right?
