@joannecave yes, the CA is probably a better forum for this, although a case every couple of years is not a huge drain on resources. I don't even remember the last case, before JJ, that skipped over the CA. There was R. v. Telus, but that was over 10 years ago.
@joannecave I may be wrong, but is the appeal route not s. 40? The Superior Court was the highest court of final resort in the case because there is no route of appeal to the CA. Criminal code prescribes appeal routes to CA on conviction appeals but not interlocutory appeals.
And the winner of financial disclosures is... Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson who reported that Beyonce Knowles-Carter gifted her four concert tickets valued at $3,711.84.
@jm_mcgrath I am highly doubtful that such a restriction would even pass the "pressing and substantial objective" part of the test (something which the SCC has concluded only once in the history of s. 1).
@andrewe@jm_mcgrath But I can't see any reasonable outcome other than to conclude that a tenant cannot be evicted for meeting their withholding obligations.
@andrewe@jm_mcgrath Exactly. I haven't thought through the scope of the deeming rule outside of the ITA (i.e. whether the deeming applies for the purposes of provincial law or just for the ITA) or the paramountcy analysis in the case of a true conflict, which is why I said my thought was uninformed.
Have been eagerly awaiting this incredible piece of reporting from @powellbetsy and she delivered a must-read on a prosecution that makes very little sense: What the jury didn’t hear at the murder trial of Umar Zameer https://t.co/yjYltYAAJA via @torontostar
@hexagraeme This is a harsh result but it is extremely standard for the CRA to go after residents for the tax bills of non-residents (indeed, that is how the system is designed).
