How does Putin's war not turn into a protracted insurgency, with infinite supplies of weapons flowing into Ukraine across the border from Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania - all countries protected by NATO? 1/x

@sprtandmovieguy Wordle uses common words. That’s why people like it. There are something like 300000 5 letter words but wordle uses something like 2500 of them.

@OmarHaRedeye @AndyInkog That’s interesting. Any other examples of shortcomings they perceived (eg alleged checks and balances etc)?

[Michael Lesage @michaelsfirm]

So it took an Order from Justice Gibson, but the Kitchener Courthouse has now made 2 rooms available with laptops and phones so that unrepresented litigants can attend their virtual hearings. This should be rolled out to all courthouses. Better late than never @SCJOntario_en

It was clear policy that if you turn 5 yrs in the calendar year, you are eligible for the vax. Very disappointed to be turned away after waiting for hours with my turning five year old and without a clear answer. Why leave out the youngest who are required to be in school?

Great tips from judges of the commercial list at tonight's junior counsel seminar. Some pet peeves:

(1) factums over 25 pages

(2) emailing judges at night/weekends/dinner time

(3) late filings

(4) you get a date, send invite w/i 24 hrs

(5) properly name the zoom invites
