R. v. Duncan, 2013 ONCJ 160 by Justice Fergus O'Donnell

Note: While I quote extensively from it here, Justice Fergus O’Donnell's decision in R. v. Duncan should be required reading for all of us, if only for the footnotes. It's also brilliant to read how skillfully this honourable judge essentially protected the defendant from himself.   Abraham Lincoln, a crafty lawyer before he became an immortal president, said: … [Read more...]

Claira Janover - Personal Responsibility is Racist

Whether Claira Janover was serious when she threatened "the next person who has the sheer nerve, the sheer entitled ‘caucasity,’ to say ‘All Lives Matter,’ I'mma stab you" or not, the cold hard reality is stupid actions have consequences.

Residential Tenancy Branch Where The Rules Are More Important Than People

At some point common sense must trump rigid bureaucrats and their blind obedience to the rules. That point won’t be today for landlord Jason Rivero who rented an apartment to, unknown to him, a convicted killer in November 2018. Alexander Tanasescu did not disclose his manslaughter conviction to Jason Rivero when he rent Rivero's apartment. On January 10, 2020, … [Read more...]
