Trump is playing hard ball. The joint board was established in 1940 at a meeting in Ogdensburg, NY, by Mackenzie King and FDR. This has to be seen as an unfriendly move, likely designed to force Canada into painful concessions.

A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all. Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments. DoW is pausing the Permanent Joint Board on Defense to reassess how this forum benefits shared North American

My defamation trial against the CBC, Broadbent Institute (Press Progress), Toronto Star and others is now nearing the halfway point. Over the last 7 weeks, we've heard testimony from 31 witnesses. Next Wednesday the media defendants will begin testifying, starting with Press Progress editor Luke Lebrun. If you'd like to follow along or get caught up on the proceedings, my 87-year-old father (a retired trial lawyer) has been keeping a detailed blog, from which a live link to the proceedings is also available: cancelcultureontrial.com

@Daniel_Mann8 @MatinaStevis There’s no consequence for ignoring s 56.1—nothing stops the PM from ignoring the fixed-date timeline except for politics. The court has already refused judicial review on this issue. The statute does not bind the PM.

Our best-case scenario, ATM, is that our autocratic president is a bellicose liar who threatens genocide and war crimes to obtain totally undecipherable objectives. Best case.

New analysis from @MeidasTouch details Trump's conflicting claims throughout his war in Iran: Mar 3: “We won the war.” Mar 7: “We defeated Iran.” Mar 9: “We must attack Iran.” Mar 9: “The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully.” Mar 11: “You never like to say too ⁠early you won. We won. In the first hour it was over.” Mar 12: “We did win, but we haven’t won completely yet.” Mar 13: “We won the war.” Mar 14: “Please help us.” Mar 15: “If you don’t help us, I will certainly remember it.” Mar 16: “Actually, we don’t need any help at all.” Mar 16: “I was just testing to see who’s listening to me.” Mar 16: “If NATO doesn’t help, they will suffer something very bad.” Mar 17: “We neither need nor want NATO’s help.” Mar 17: “I don’t need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO.” Mar 18: “Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.” Mar 19: “US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz.” Mar 20: “NATO are cowards.” Mar 21: “The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don’t use it, we don’t need to open it.” Mar 22: “This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait” Mar 22: “Iran is Dead” Mar 23: “We had very good and productive talks with Iran.” Mar 24: “We’re making progress.” Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.” Mar 26: “Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away.” Mar 27: “We don’t have to be there for NATO.” Mar 29: Claimed talks were progressing Mar 30: “Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences.” Mar 31: Claimed a deal was “very close” and Iran would “do the right thing” Apr 1: “We’ll see what happens very soon.” Apr 3: “Something big is going to happen.” Apr 4: Said Iran must comply “immediately” or face further consequences Apr 5: “Open the fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” April 7: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will."

In @SCJOntario_en news, London is the most capable court for accepting routine filings, while Brampton is the most useless, rejecting 45% of civil filings (almost 4x as many as London). Otherwise, rejection rates are climbing, in a huge waste of tax dollars and court resources @fordnation and @douglasdowney

Law school should really consist of one year dedicated to studying law and two years focused on mastering Microsoft Word and managing 1,000 emails daily.

Seeking a quia timet injunction on one day's notice, without opportunity for responding evidence or to cross-examine the AG's witness, was a tactical choice and a *big* ask.

Not family law but ONCA confirms that litigants who rely on their understanding, or misunderstanding, of their legal rights effectively waive solicitor‑client privilege. Courts must be able to test those claims. lawtimesnews.com/news/general/l…

One of those screenshots I think everyone needs to stare at before reading one of those salary articles. I constantly have to mentally adjust to it because I grew up thinking of $70k as the target "good" salary and $100k as wild wealth. But the 70k I used to think of is now 100k.
