So, episode 116 - a new record. But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast - right? You should.We are trying a new format over here at the Taman/Spratt studios - a shorter podcast in your feed every two weeks - like clockwork! So on to the show…The Justice Minister has new a new mandate and with it a new supplementary mandate letter. This episode we look at David Lametti's new marching orders and wonder, if this time will he actually follow through on them?But before we do that…. Canadian Lawyer published a bigoted transphobic opinion piece on Friday. There was an immediate backlash. Canadian Lawyer has since removed the piece because it “did not reflect the views of Canadian Lawyer Magazine.” But we need discuss how this happened.

So episode 96 - a new record. But you know that right? Because you have already rated and reviewed the podcast - right? You should.In the dog days of summer, as politicians hit the BBQ circuit, there Is nothing better to talk about than baseball and politics.We lead off with a dissection of Elizabeth May's strange ideas about the possibility of the government directing a judge to sentence SNC-Lavalin to do free work on indigenous water projects. The leader of the Green Party may not have thought this one through since she seems to be advocating the same political interference that she railed against a few short months ago. And then there is the practical problem. Even if SNC was sentenced to community service do we really want them overseeing the necessary upgrades indigenous communities desperately need to their water systems? Not so much.Then is it on to the victim fine surcharge constitutional challenge 2.0. In 2018 the Supreme Court ruled that mandatory victim fines were unconstitutional and struck the law down, describing it as abhorrent and intolerable to society. But what about the millions of dollars of outstanding fine imposed under the cruel, abhorrent, and unconstitutional law?
