Justice with John Carpay The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms

Lawyer Marty Moore takes us through some of the latest cases at the Justice Centre, starting with a victory in court for peaceful protestor Evan Blackman who was arrested in Ottawa Feb 18, 2022, and facing criminal charges. We discuss the lack of disclosure and ubiquity of redactions from the Crown in other cases, especially when these manoeuvres drag out court proceedings.

In a follow up to our January 16 podcast (S04E02 Another Institution Captured?), lawyer Glenn Blackett goes over the latest from the Law Society of Alberta, a Professional Development Profile. It is, he says, full of "woke" concepts that threaten to undermine the rule of law. This past summer, an informal group of lawyers sent an open letter to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to alert the government about the situation.

John talks about his recent column in The Epoch Times in which he applauds the Saskatchewan government for invoking the notwithstanding clause on the parental rights issue. We then discuss the case of Saskatchewan nurse Leah McInnes who’s being targeted by her professional college, and the parallels with her case to others across the country. At about the halfway point we get to our main topic; the danger to free expression from the CRTC as it requires online streaming services to register with the government.

Lawyer Marty Moore takes us through a new case he's recently filed in BC about censorship at a Chilliwack School Trustee meeting in June. The client, he says, had her free expression rights violated four times in two minutes. And he takes note of a recent decision in the BC Court of Appeal where they ruled that a vaccine passport mandate case will proceed to trial. Marty says he hopes this will provide the Federal Court of Appeal some guidance as they consider the Peckford appeal on the federal travel vaccine mandate this week.
