'It's just the flu.'

Under 606(1.1)(c) CC, it is incumbent on a court accepting a guilty plea to satisfy itself that "the facts support the charge". An agreed statement of fact is the easiest way to ensure that the facts are entered into the record. In lesser matters, it is usually sufficient for the Crown Brief...

My point was not to defend or attack the broadcast; my point was to remind people of the standard any law, at whatever level, would be measured against. A mosque, or any individual, cannot offend my Charter rights, and I can't offend their.

He's already said the only reason he signed a bad CUSMA deal because it was better than NAFTA, which was worser because it was signed by a Democrat.

The Charter binds the Crown (feds, provinces and, by extension, municipalities). It does not bind private organizations or individuals. A mosque can't breach your Charter rights. If a law exists or is enacted that says a certain activity, like loud sounds, is illegal because it interferes...

I'll give her credit for changing direction rather than digging in like a tic like some politicians do. Although I don't like him, that one thing in Ontario's Doug Ford's favour. The fact that it was a bad decision that only got addressed when the government was called out on it suggests a...

So Carolina didn't 'really' win the Stanley Cup? I'm sure if you are ever the appellant in a matter, you will temper your win if it is a split decision. He may bitch and moan - more likely quietly move on to the next shiny thing - but I don't think he has actively moved against a court ruling...

But how many genders? (Sorry, I'll see myself out . . . )

Or become Chief of Ottawa. Actually, it can still happen at the higher levels. Ottawa probably got the chief they wanted, but not the one they needed. We (OPP) spirited a member from one of the Regionals about 30 years ago and I swear they probably still send a Christmas card of thanks every...

Good proposed sentence. No doubt a long-term and costly impact. One wonders what her motivation was.

I wouldn't say "sorted out"; rather, the opportunity for mobility largely dried up.

It used to be not uncommon for 'problem children' to bounce around between smaller departments who either didn't care or didn't have the capacity to conduct deep background checks but, rather, rely on the glowing recommendation of their previous department. It happens less now since there are...

That's only when accountants ('beancounters') are in positions of power or decision-making. Otherwise, the profession reports on the outcomes of decisions made by others.

Before it was codified (date unknown) I know the OPP had a disciplinary system that streamed resolutions in 'informal' and 'formal', and the informal records had a shelf life. I can almost guarantee that police associations had a role in this.

Are the F-16s that the US deploys to NORAD 'fully interoperable'?
