I've been reading/listening to a number of tales of how people chose law school or chose an area of practice. At an articling interview I was asked "Why does an ex-cop was to work criminal defence? Are you concerned that it might be uncomfortable?" 1/11

police budgets are black holes of accountability. and you just have to sift through their publicly available budget documents to find this out. the edmonton police have $45 million in revenue that they just yadda-yadda-yadda away.

David Parker, who illegally obtained and leaked Alberta‘s list of electors, refuses to cooperate with Elections Alberta investigation and refuses to sign an affidavit that he will not leak the list further. Yet government of Alberta still quarterbacks separatists.

“completely unnecessary, excessive, offensive disregard for their rights. Calgary Police knew they were packing up to leave, yet decided to advance violently w/ chemical ammunitions, batons, shields, striking many of my clients." said lawyer Chris Wiebe.

.@nenshi: "This is a big deal. The government cannot have a separatist referendum this fall, period. They cannot do it without defying the law, without defying the courts, and without knowingly doing something that is illegal."

[Shannon Phillips 🇨🇦 @SPhillipsAB]

Jason Kenney was supportive of me when my records were unlawfully accessed by Lethbridge Police Service, so now it’s time to return the consideration.

No one deserves this, and it is high time for there to be consequences for targeting people for their time in public service.
