On Universities and the Charter with Glenn Blackett | S02E11

Glenn takes us through a case in which the University of British Columbia cancelled a speech by journalist and activist Andy Ngo.

The lawsuit, now at the BC Supreme Court, grapples with this question: are post-secondary institutions subject to the Canadian Charter?

Lawyer Chris Fleury tells us about the appeal he’s filed on behalf of former Ontario MPP Randy Hillier who had challenged the province’s 2021 Covid stay-at-home orders.

Justice Centre Weekly: John Carpay on the Grandel Case | S02E03

John Carpay recaps the issues in the Grandel v Saskatchewan case, after the appeal hearing last week. He focuses on the rule of law. The provincial government went after those who protested government lockdowns, after they gave a pass to other groups protesting other causes.

Justice Centre Weekly: Allison Pejovic on mootness rulings | S02E01

Lawyer Allison Pejovic talks with host Kevin Steel about the need for clarification on mootness rulings, especially involving cases that deal with emergency orders. The orders come and go faster than the courts can deal with them, but Canadians still need answers on whether they are lawful or not. Otherwise, we will a hit-and-run tyranny, with governments able to issue draconian laws with no oversight as long as they withdraw them before a case can get to court.
