Canadian Legal Takes

Occasionally making fun of dumb legal takes, but mostly just studying extreme onlineness since late 2020.

[Canadian Legal Takes @LegalTakes]

He's right. It's not quite a *plan* to legalize nationally. Rather, it's a *willingness* to legalize nationally should provinces want it.

For the late crowd, my @LooniePolitics column on Poilievre’s dishonest claims that the government is planning to fully decriminalize or legalize hard drugs #cdnpoli https://t.co/g74AZ4lDJv

@YAshayeri @LawrenceGridin @Heidi__Matthews Yes. But because Israel isn't an uncivilized, pedophile worshipping death cult they were widely condemned instead of being met as heroes.

This is being widely condemned across Israeli society. By contrast, the overwhelming majority of Palestinians support Hamas and October 7.

That Israel isn't perfect doesn't make it a close call who the good guys are in this conflict except in the minds of the morally bankrupt.

[Canadian Legal Takes @LegalTakes]

@YAshayeri @LawrenceGridin @Heidi__Matthews Israel is done seeking peace with animals whose only desire in life is to kill Jews. They are rightly focused on destruction.

[Canadian Legal Takes @LegalTakes]

Heidi appears to be very concerned about the news of the leader of Hamas being killed.

[Heidi Matthews @Heidi__Matthews]

Oh. My. God.

[Canadian Legal Takes @LegalTakes]

@Heidi__Matthews I can't imagine how heartbroken you are.

@chadcmulligan @ProSeSelfHelp Well shoot. That's not good to hear. I had you as my #2 call if Bennet didn't answer, should I ever need help in Texas.

[Canadian Legal Takes @LegalTakes]

@ProSeSelfHelp @chadcmulligan The funny thing here is that Mr. "Mulligan" would have been a good guy to call on this prior restraint case. Instead you're spouting nonsense about libel.

[Canadian Legal Takes @LegalTakes]

@ProSeSelfHelp @chadcmulligan Seems 1A suspect. But as relevant to this thread, it shows both that the factual claim is true and the statement of opinion that you're a stalker has a strong factual basis (not that the latter point matters). This ain't even libel in Canada for goodness sakes.

[Canadian Legal Takes @LegalTakes]

@schwatd2 @ProSeSelfHelp @chadcmulligan Confirmed by the stalker himself.

@ProSeSelfHelp @chadcmulligan This strikes me as more likely to ground a successful libel claim. Unless it's true, of course.

@TristinHopper Neil Armstrong claims he didn't miff it but rather the word "a" was lost in radio static.

@Calibremag @TheGunBlog Doesn't New Brunswick have the highest firearm ownership rate in the country? I would expect they'd have quite a number of gun shops. Even Home Hardwares and Canadian Tires out there often carry firearms.

People are being very critical of Lula here. But he's not wrong. Clinging to power through corruption and violence is a completely normal process in Socialist countries.

[SA Defensa @SA_Defensa]

📍Brazil (🇧🇷)

President @LulaOficial of Brazil states that he is “convinced [the elections in Venezuela (🇻🇪)] are a normal process”.

This is a de-facto endorsement of Maduro’s strategy, in contrast with other South American nations.

[Tristin Hopper @TristinHopper]

I would again urge Canadians to actively reduce the amount of time spent thinking and tweeting about US politics. One of the reasons your local splash park is filled with crack pipes is because you were distracted by Trump.

[Canadian Legal Takes @LegalTakes]

@ErinDurant42 No, but I think a lot of people in Canada who will be offended by this are despicable hypocrites.

This is absolutely grotesque and also no different from what doctors in Canada tell families of vulnerable people daily.

Nobody in the Canadian left who supports our euthanasia laws can be opposed to this.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Fred Trump III recalls how his uncle Donald told him he should let his disabled son die:

“He said, ‘Your son doesn't recognize you; let him die and move to Florida.’ My response was, no Donald, he does recognize me.”

[Canadian Legal Takes @LegalTakes]

@JohnHaleCrimLaw Alas, we as a society used to be so much more effective at lying to kids in ways that served the parents' interests.
