This week, the Foreign Interference Inquiry heard interesting testimony from Han Dong and Erin O'Toole. I discuss that testimony, the benefits of the inquiry process versus the Special Rappatour option the government wanted, and reforms needed to the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force.
The Justice Minister was interviewed by Althia Raj regarding the proposed Online Harms Act. The Minister was on the defensive throughout, and did little to ease fears that this government is overreaching on the restrictions to free speech contained in the Bill.
A case out of Calgary is showing how courts will handle Medical Assistance in Dying cases on the margins. Here, the person asking to die is 27 years old, has Autism, and evidence from her father raises questions as to whether she is indeed suffering significant physical ailments.
Finally, I look to the Mass Casualty Commission report one year on. The RCMP have provided an update on their efforts to implement the report recommendations, and the Province of Nova Scotia has provided a brief update as well.
