@erikmagraken Maybe they should call this the "theftimonials" page... as far as I'm aware, individuals have a right to control the use of their name and portrait. Wait, the Privacy Act is kind of blunt about it! Too bad none of us knows anyone who knows how to file Supreme Court actions!

[Nate Russell @nrusse]

Oh man... this a hilarious testimonial @erikmagraken. At least I feel pretty sure it wasn't fabricated by AI! Found it on https://t.co/kfCP6xFKU7 (and I'm assuming it's with your knowledge... but who knows!)

[Nate Russell @nrusse]

@erikmagraken Does not surprise me. It appears to have been lifted from "mashed up" tweets, edited together (with parts omitted), and the source (Twitter) is not acknowledged. Feels like the makings of a law school hypothetical. I bet Caseway could have spotted the legal issues here!

[Nate Russell @nrusse]

@Kevin_Eastwood This is not surprising news. But it is good news. She will make an excellent jurist!

It's been a minute since I posted to @slaw_dot_ca - but here is a post about how BC's CSO E-search can be put to use... especially when it's offered to you for free (because that's what @theCLBC does!)

@inspiredcat Loving the posts and analysis Cat. We met once in NOLA at a Clio conference. Glad to see you still so tuned in and curious. I’ll keep my eyes on this thread. 👍

@emmaydee @aCameronhuff I would characterize it this way: there is broad ignorance among lawyers generally, and the family bar being no exception, regarding how cryptocurrencies are acquired, stored, and exchanged for fiat value. It is a black box to most, and few cases arise. https://t.co/ncWwcmeQNE

[Nate Russell @nrusse]

@aCameronhuff Maybe we can touch base off-line, and I could pick your brain about how we would set that up. Maybe we could even involve you!

Clearly, the ban on courts making "shared" pet possession/ownership orders is intentional, and this intent is a clear matter of record in Hansard

[Nate Russell @nrusse]

@HannahDeJong @CBCNews Not sure how to push this issue to readers of @cbcnewsbc and @CBCLarsen with enough priority... but this reporting (and decision) is bound to sew confusion.
-see FLA s. 97(4.2) https://t.co/GHFsUoCg9f

Note of caution⚠️
This is a confusing case. The new law (s. 97 (4.2) of the Family Law Act) says courts can’t order shared possession or ownership of a pet. Associate judge doesn't explain this contradiction in reasons for judgment. Be wary of recommending this story or this case

A golden retriever named Stella is now part of legal history in B.C. after an upper court decision based on new laws that recognize pets as family members, not just property. https://t.co/7lAL9f08Dd .

@JoshuaLenon @goclio Miss it. Wish I could’ve been there!

[Nate Russell @nrusse]

Thank you for the feedback. Are there other use cases or benefits that you see coming from this?

I am thrilled to see this much needed expansion in access to legal services for those leaving violent relationships. After two decades of severe underfunding of family legal aid, this change is desperately needed to protect the rights of women and children https://t.co/bThuLFrphX
