@LitigationGuy lmao be so for real the SCC used to do shit like whip the Oakes test out of their ass in a 40 paragraph judgement. An incremental change to the categorization of tort liability meticulously is hardly enough to be an era of judicial activism
@jon_ckhan@MarkPMancini Well duh not every judge is going to read it, but the ones who sit in family court will absolutely find the time to read it. Like that’s actually their whole job
@MarkPMancini Complete nonsense. In Vavilov the majority was 197 paras and made far more sweeping changes than this decision; literally the only people disadvantaged by the length are law students taking family law next year
@Spark2231@LawyerBuchanan It’s actually from section 4(1) and (2) of Alberta’s Referendum Act, which would apply to a constitutional referendum like the separatism question! It’s also addressed in para 80 of the court’s decision (citation 2026 ABKB 375).
@Doonz_2017@LawyerBuchanan Naw, this outcome was entirely predictable based on existing law. The UCP just didn’t want to bother consulting anyone; they brought this upon themselves
@Spark2231@LawyerBuchanan No. This petition was quashed, in part, because a successful referendum would be binding on the government (so it would be too late to consult about it). Non-binding or non-Treaty/Title rights changing referendums would not be subject to the same ruling.
@Note_Portal@yfcherries Though technically possible to appeal directly to the supreme court, it likely will go to the Alberta Court of Appeal (and then potentially the SCC)
@ThePrimalDino@Robotbeat It is an obsolete design (what they had left from the canceled Ares program) made with ancient shuttle era tech (to maintain supply chains for political purposes) that does a job other (admittedly also pretty shit) platforms can do. It is obsolete.
@NotFifthGear The “maximum 16:1” rule is both substantive and separate from the procedural “we’ll measure at ambient temp” rule. Just because you comply with the procedural rule doesn’t mean you aren’t violating the blanket ban on exceeding 16:1. Same logic as the Ferrari fuel flow cheating
@Skeleman71 Based but any of the labour-related promises only apply to federally-regulated industries, which constitute a small minority of workers in Canada so those changes aren’t likely to help that many people
@AlbertaBogieman@mark_dorin None of what you said is true. Please get off the internet it’s melting your brain and you probably didn’t even have much of one to begin with.
@KathyWallocha@DuaneBratt I truly hope you’re just a bot, and if you’re a real person I hope you don’t have kids. No one deserves to have a cold, soulless cunt like you as a parent
@KathyWallocha@DuaneBratt Kids don’t kill themselves because they can’t get a tattoo. They do kill themselves because they are denied the medical care they, their parents, and their doctors know they need but Smith has decided they can’t have. The trans suicide rate is a fact, and it will go up in Alberta
@KathyWallocha@DuaneBratt Nice goal post shift. We don’t lets kids make those decisions, we let them, their parents, and their doctors make those decisions. And I care about that (and so should you) because the alternative is usually depression, anxiety, and trans kids taking their own lives.
