S03E26 Freedom in Quebec

07/04/22 • 59 min

Lawyer Samuel Bachand joins Kevin for a discussion about Justice Centre activity in Quebec. Sam started with the Justice Centre as primary counsel in the middle of the Freedom Convoy; so he hit the ground running and there's a lot to talk about. We discuss Tamara Lich's unjust rearrest and Samuel gives his perspective on how Quebecers differ from the ROC (Rest of Canada) regarding rights and freedoms, and what they share.

S03E25 Dobbs v. Roe

John takes a look at the US Supreme Court's Dobbs decision which struck down Roe v. Wade. It has some interesting sections on 'stare decisis' (precedent), judicial hubris, and what is referred to in the judgment as "raw judicial power." We then comment on a couple of Justice Centre cases out of Saskatchewan; one in which a complaint against a law student for holding incorrect opinions is withdrawn, and another in which a doctor is suing for wrongful dismissal for expressing incorrect opinions about vaccines for children.
