To be clear - do you know who makes the decision to release someone from the scene on a Promise to Appear? The police.
Not the crown. Not a JP. Not a judge. Not a defence lawyer.
The police.
A wise female friend said to me this morning that every woman knows someone who has been raped. Yet somehow no man knows a rapist. We’ve got a long way to go.
A good life is defined largely by what you say no to:
- drama you don't engage
- debt you don't take on
- people who drain your energy
- habits that make you weak
Success comes from what you cut, not what you add.
You’re going to have to learn how to try significantly harder and longer than you expected but the payoff will bigger and different than you imagined because you realize that the money never mattered and who you become to get it was the point all along.
You can either choose someone who’ll co create peace with you or someone you'll have to emotionally babysit. That's why chemistry isn't enough. Bc trauma has chemistry too. Stop asking if they like you & ask what being around them is teaching you to believe about yourself.
Bill 6 has just been passed, with third reading debate cut to just 9 minutes.
Once it receives royal assent, the law will now be to punish people living outdoors with jail time and $10,000 fines.
Last year, 80,000 Ontarians were homeless.

Have a listen to Parliamentary Secretary @j_maloney - a seasoned lawyer explain the facts. Strengthened bail reforms to help keep repeat violent offenders behind bars have been in place since January 2024 - they can’t be used effectively because the province of Ontario continues to underfund the system.
➡️Provincial courts are backed up
➡️Provincial jails are full and running at over capacity
➡️Provincially appointed JPs take these things into consideration during bail decisions
The lack of resources provided by the provincial government in the province of Ontario is leading to violent offenders released on bail. Full stop.
Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies.
It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors.
Absolutely horrifying. This makes my blood boil every time I see it. I cannot accept that this is how inmates are treated in Canada.
