Leaving aside why a court would ever have/fly its own flag, it would be nice if our top court correctly represented that it was a branch of the *state* not the *government*.

Not entirely superseded. It's still on the books and contains certain protections not found in the Charter - notably the right not to be deprived of property except in accordance with principles of fundamental justice, and the right to a fair hearing outside the criminal context.
Today in 1960, the House of Commons approved the Canadian Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights guarantee civil rights and freedoms to all Canadians, but only applied to federal statutes.
It was superseded by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982.

The NDP never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
I stand in solidarity with students and anti-war advocates.
What is happening in the US right now is very dangerous and alarming.
In Canada, I want students to know this:
It is your right to peacefully protest - and I will defend that.
New Democrats will continue to stand for…

Kris has done a stellar job leading the Runnymede Society for the last 3 years. Wishing him all the best in this new chapter!
Today's my last day as the national director of
@RunnymedeSoc
. Thank you to our friends, members, and chapter leaders for their support these past three years, but especially
@jobearon
and
@Honickman
. This has been the best job I've ever had, and I'll miss it immensely.

Those who watched City Pulse in the 80s and 90s will enjoy this one. cc:

Agreed. As I said at the time, Nfld's travel ban was likely ultra vires the Const Act, 1867. But that doesn't appear to have been argued. Yet another example of our tendency in this country to cast liberty/rights issues almost exclusively in terms of the Charter.
This is not a s.6 violation. Supreme Court of Canada to hear appeal of N.L.'s COVID-19 travel ban

It's a fair point that no protest movement is monolithic. But the nuance you're calling for is actually lost when you suggest the protests are mirrors of one another. The convoy was more disruptive but its message less odious - no calls for mass rape/murder met with loud applause

This is an excellent elevation. Wilson J. is a principled and sensible judge who has authored important jurisprudence.
There are now 3 appellate justices from the
@queensulaw
'84 class: Stratas JA, Huscroft JA and now Wilson JA. All doctrinal.
(2/24) It is with great pleasure that I announce the elevation of the Honourable Darla A. Wilson as a Judge of the Court of Appeal for Ontario in Toronto.

Correction - the right not to be deprived of property except by "due process of law". Some would argue it's the same thing. But that's a whole other conversation...

OC is suffering from a terrible affliction known as "senioritis". It ravaged much of Big Law and the commercial bar. Very tough to cure.

Some members of the legislative and executive (though not the judiciary) wear multiple hats, but there's still a separation of powers, distinct from its American counterpart.

That's Bill Atanasoff - a former City TV cameraman who was tragically struck by a drunk driver in 2010 but miraculously survived. The gathering was for Bill's birthday.

You're correct that it has very little impact today. The same goes for many jurisdictional limitations and common law doctrines that protect liberty. Too much of our collective intellectual energy is spent on the Charter. Important as it is, it doesn't stand alone.

Your argument is that you saw the "EXACT SAME THING" in both movements - that the core of both is/was "well-meaning," but that each contains a "dangerous element." I wish it were true, but it's unfortunately not borne out by the evidence.
