It's Friday, August 9th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 20 people murdered since Bangladesh Prime Minister resigned Bangladesh Christians are calling for urgent prayer for Christian converts who left Islam to follow Jesus, reports Open Doors. The South Asian nation is in significant turmoil after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, age 76, resigned and left the country, seeking safety after weeks of anti-government protests alleging rampant corruption throughout her regime.   One Christian in northern Bangladesh said, “We spent a sleepless night praying to our Lord for the protection of all our believers.  In many areas, radical groups are compiling lists of converted Christians to attack their houses. Some homes have already been attacked, while others live in fear and hiding, seeking security for their lives.” With Hasina's resignation, Bangladesh's constitutional process requires the formation of an interim government to manage the country's affairs.  The situation on the ground remains volatile.   Over the last three weeks, millions of protesters took to the streets, expressing their dissatisfaction about a quota system that would award jobs to the children of fighters in Bangladesh's war of independence. This led to a violent crackdown on the dissent by government forces. Government structures were targeted and in a particularly striking act of boldness, many individuals entered Ganabhaban, the official residence of the prime minister in the nation's capital of Dhaka. Reportedly, at least 20 people have been killed in the violence since her resignation, adding to the more than 90 deaths on Sunday—which already marked the worst single-day casualty figure from any demonstrations in Bangladesh's recent history. Bangladesh is the 26th most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Harris leads Trump in new poll Democrat Kamala Harris leads Republican Donald Trump 42% to 37% in the race for the November 5th presidential election, reports Reuters. The Ipsos poll found Harris had widened her lead since a July 22-23 Reuters/Ipsos survey, which found her up 37% to 34% over Trump. The nationwide poll of 2,045 U.S. adults, conducted Aug. 2-7, found 4% of those surveyed backed independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., down from 10% in July. J.D. Vance: Tim Walz is as radical as Kamala Harris President Trump's running mate Ohio Senator J.D. Vance commented on the selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Kamala Harris' Vice Presidential pick, reports Real Clear Politics. VANCE: “The big news of the day is that Tim Waltz is now the V.P. for Kamala Harris. It just highlights how radical Kamala Harris is. This is a person who listened to the Hamas wing of her own party in selecting a nominee. “This is a guy who's proposed shipping more manufacturing jobs to China … and has proposed defunding the police just as Kamala Harris does. “They make an interesting tag team because. of course, Tim Waltz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the summer of 2020. And then, the few who got caught, Kamala Harris helped them out of jail. “So, it is more instructive for what it says about Kamala Harris that she doesn't care about the border. She doesn't care about crime. She doesn't care about American energy. And most importantly, she doesn't care about the Americans who have been made to suffer under those policies.” In addition, Minnesota Governor Walz supported putting tampons in the public school bathrooms of boys and mandated that all public school teachers use biologically inaccurate pronouns to describe trans students. President Richard Nixon resigned 50 years ago yesterday Exactly 50 years ago yesterday, August 8th 1974, a beleaguered President Richard M. Nixon entered the Oval Office, stared into a television camera and resigned the presidency, reports USA Today. Listen. NIXON: “Throughout the long and difficult period of Watergate, I have felt it was my duty to persevere, to make every possible effort to complete the term of office to which you elected me. In the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that I no longer have a strong enough political base in the Congress to justify continuing that effort. “I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But, as President, I must put the interests of America first. To fight through the months ahead for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Congress in a period when our entire focus should be on the great issues of peace abroad and prosperity, without inflation, at home. “Therefore, I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Ford will be sworn in as president at that hour in this office.” Canadian Supreme Court vs. Jordan Peterson On August 8th, the Canadian Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal by Dr. Jordan Peterson after the College of Psychologists of Ontario mandated he undergo so-called social media “training” or risk losing his license to practice after he challenged the homosexual/transgender agenda online, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Peterson is a best-selling Canadian author and clinical psychologist who gained fame for his opposition to compelled speech and gender ideology. Peterson tweeted that he has been vilified “primarily for publicly opposing the butchers and liars subjecting children to sterilization and mutilation.” The Canadian Supreme Court should heed the Biblical admonition found in Matthew 18:6. “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Australian high jumper praises God after earning Olympic silver And finally, Australian Christian high jumper, Nicola Olyslagers, formerly McDermott, won silver for Australia at the Paris Olympics, repeating her triumph in Tokyo 2021, reports Evangelical Focus. On Instagram, she posted this statement: “Praise be to God my Rock! He is my strength and song!!” Psalm 150:6 says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” After her victory, she told ABC Sports, jumping "is like being in a church. My worship might not be my singing, it's in my feet jumping over a bar.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, August 9th, in the year of our Lord 2024.  Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Last week in crypto, 7 day prices were up across the market, with a 6% growth in Bitcoin, and 4% in Ethereum. The Canadian Supreme Court has given its approval for the merger of Hut 8 Mining Corp. and US Bitcoin mining company, Bitfury. This decision signifies a significant development in the cryptocurrency industry, as it allows Hut 8 to acquire Bitfury and expand its Bitcoin mining operations. The merger is expected to bolster Hut 8's position as a prominent player in the Bitcoin mining sector and enhance its mining capabilities. This news reflects the growing importance of the cryptocurrency market in Canada and the broader global crypto landscape, showcasing the increasing legitimacy and acceptance of digital currencies in the financial world. Stacks token price surged over 12% in the last 7 days, in response to Bitcoin's rise above $27,000. Stacks, an Ethereum-compatible blockchain, saw a notable increase in value, leading investors to consider it a potential buy. This price surge could be attributed to the growing interest in blockchain projects aiming to enable smart contracts on Bitcoin. Stacks offers this functionality and has gained attention as a viable solution.  New York regulators have introduced new transparency regulations for cryptocurrency firms regarding coin listings and delistings, exchanges operating in the city will be required to provide clear information about the criteria used for listing and delisting digital assets, as well as any changes to those criteria. New York regulators claim these rules aim to enhance consumer protection and market integrity by working to prevent market manipulation and fraudulent activities while promoting transparency and accountability within the crypto industry.  Kazakhstan has established a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) development agency, marking a significant move into the world of digital currencies. This agency will oversee the creation and implementation of a national CBDC. Kazakhstan aims to harness the benefits of CBDCs, including improved payment efficiency, financial inclusion, and reduced transaction costs. The move is part of the country's broader efforts to modernize its financial infrastructure and promote digital innovation in the financial sector. This is a fast follow to Hong Kong and Israel, who a couple of weeks ago announced their planned collaboration and knowledge sharing initiatives around building their own CBDCs.

Dr. Mark Pickering joins Tim to talk about the disturbing spread of  and interest in human euthanasia throughout western cultures, particularly in Canada, the U.S., and the U.K. Mark is a general practitioner of family medicine. He focuses his work on prisons and other similarly secure facilities. In addition, he is the head of the Christian Medical Fellowship in the United Kingdom. In this conversation, we talk about the myths and the realities of assisted suicide. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/Human_Euthanasia_is_Here_auphonic.mp3 In 1997, the state of Oregon passed the Death with Dignity Act, which allowed the medically assisted suicide for people who were terminally ill. Since that time, over 3,280 people received prescriptions for legal doses of medications under the act's provisions. The state reports that of those who received prescriptions, 2,159 people actually took the medications and died from the lethal dosages. Since 1942, the nation of Switzerland has allowed assisted suicide. But according to the government, it only allows this form of euthanasia so long as, “the motives are not selfish.” Closer to home, in Canada in 2016, the Canadian government legalized medical assistance in dying. The acronym for this is MAID. The Canadian Supreme Court had decided that existing laws that prohibited assisted suicide were an afront to individual rights. Here's how the MAID program started. Medical professionals - doctors and nurses - would administer lethal injections or fatal medications to patients who met a specific criteria. The individual had to have a serious illness or disability; the individual had to be in what the government described as an “advanced state” of decline that could not be reversed; the individual had to be experiencing unbearable physical or mental suffering; or the individual had to be at the point where natural death had become “reasonably foreseeable.” Notice that nowhere in Canada's original requirements did the individual have to be terminally ill. But that was just the beginning.  Before long, anyone who wanted help with suicide was able to get it. Canadians who were depressed, stressed, or just economically poor or in a state of mental distress could get help with their own suicide. In 2021, the government relaxed the condition that that natural death must be “reasonably foreseeable.” After that, the stories of Canadians being presented with suicide as a medical option included some who were just temporarily homeless or in some kind of pain that otherwise could be treated. Consider the story of Alan Nichols. When he was a child, he lost his hearing. He had had a stroke. But overall, at 61 years old, he was able to live on his own. Then in 2019 he was admitted to the hospital over concerns that he might be at risk of committing suicide. He was mentally unstable. Not in his right mind. While he was in the hospital, he pleaded with his brother Gary to get him out of the Canadian hospital. Over the course of the next four weeks, he then was reported to have applied for medically assisted suicide under the MAID program. The only medical condition he listed as his reason for wanting to die was being hard of hearing. Instead of treating Nichols' obvious mental instability, the hospital supported his desire to kill himself and provided its own justification. It said Nichols had some vision loss, that he was frail, that he had a history of seizures and in their words, he had a “failure to thrive,” whatever that means. The hospital framed the process as Nichols requesting to die by lethal injection, and it saw that rationale as valid. The procedure was carried out expeditiously. When the Associated Press talked to Nichols' brother Gary, he said that his brother Alan, “was basically put to death.” Inmates on death row are forced to wait much longer. Mark Pickering is on the front lines of this issue.

In this third episode of The Appellate Wanderer, I talk to Andrew Bernstein, a partner at Torys who practices appeal and clerked for former Chief Justice Lamer of the Supreme Court of Canada. We had a lovely talk about how Canadian appellate practice differs and is similar to that of its cousin in the United States. We speak about Andrew's "origin story" to law school from his "mistake" of starting a commerce undergraduate program. Then we moved to Canadian legal education (6:30); Andrew's LLM at the University of California, Berkeley (7:42); the extraordinary fact that the Supreme Court of Canada is functionally bilingual! (9:50); we discuss the hierarchy and structure of the Canadian courts (12:35); moved to appealing to the Canadian Supreme Court by leave (15:40); we talk about how you can possibly have a Supreme Court of Canada ruling on Quebec law (18:10); we talk about how the Court can sit in panels of 5, 7, and 9 (19:25); then we move to Andrew's recent oral argument in the Canadian Supreme Court and his preparation process and his "spiel" (22:44); we talk about the mooting process for Canada (27:55); we talk about the written work product in the Supreme Court and factums (29:55); we talk about what happens in conference in the Canadian Supreme Court, including a possible conference in advance (31:55); we talk about how the law clerks do their work (35:30); "Horse trading happens on the second floor" (38:10); what comments look like from other justice (39:15); bench memos (40:55); how law clerks are not involved in leave applications (42:30); how Supreme Court of Canada justice are appointed and how judicial politics differs from the US (44:02); in what ways the Canadian Supreme Court does look to SCOTUS (50:10); and then what Canada does really well as an appellate legal system (53:10). As always, please send me suggestions for new guests, and rate and review the show!

In 2016, the Canadian government legalized medical assistance in dying. The Canadian Supreme Court concluded that laws preventing assisted suicide stifled individual rights. Since then the range of who qualifies for assisted suicide was expanded. In 2021, the criteria that natural death must be ‘reasonably foreseeable' was removed. But that expansion has been delayed. Dr Derryck Smith from Dying With Dignity Canada was speaking with Kieran.

Today we're talking about two Canadian Supreme Court decisions that led to the expansion of 2SLGBTQ rights (mostly because of how rightfully mad people were about the decisions). Also, Kelsey furthers Bekah's belief that New Brunswick is not real.

Sex with animals and ANY FORM OF ABUSE NEEDS to be a A REAL CRIMINAL CRIME. We need your help to advance Canadians and Canada. We call on YOU to SHARE and LIKE our Video to inform and bring advancement. "Generally, Canadian people are compassionate, caring, and nurturing towards animals and specifically their animal companions. There are over 5 million dog owners, and close to 6 million cat owners in Canada. In addition, there are hundreds of animal rights and animal welfare groups across Canada. This humane approach to animals helps define who we are and what we are as a people and a country. However, there is a pervasive disconnect between establishment politicians' actions or lack of towards animals and the Canadian people's actions towards animals. We must remember that silence in the face of facts, denial of facts, or putting self-interest and industry lobbyists first are complicity in animal cruelty and abuse. Canadian law, as determined by the establishment politicians to date, falls well short of the standard most Canadians have for animals and their welfare. For example, the Canadian Criminal Code allows sex with animals as long as there is no physically harm to the animal and no penetration. Like most Canadians, we find that current legal reality revolting. In addition, the Canadian Criminal Code is ineffective in prosecuting animal abusers and view animals as property, rather than as sentient beings. Further, the Canadian Criminal Code is absent in any standard of animal welfare. How we treat animals through our laws, whether to companion animals, farmed animals, wildlife, or strays, is reflective of who we are as a people. Here are some examples showing the gravity of the cruelty and abuse towards animals in Canada, which link to the lack of political will by the establishment politicians to address effectively this systemic cruelty and abuse. In 2016 Canadian Supreme Court ruled that sex with animals is not a crime as long there is no physical harm to the animal and no penetration. This disturbing decision based on limits to the Bestiality Act was not acted on in any meaningful way by the House of Commons as Assembled to date. Halal slaughter in Canada, part of a growing national industry, is based in many instances on abusive treatment of animals and cruelty through not stunning the animals prior to ending their lives. Warning graphic video: Poultry and livestock in Canada often times face cruel treatment, cruel containment, and cruel transportation. Warning graphic video: ****video clip***** Marine life in Canada often times face cruel containment and treatment. ****video clip***** These are numerous other examples. The National Citizens Alliance believes that we as people need to address the cruel, abusive treatment of animals immediately. As part of our National Advancement, we support a number of measures to deal with animal cruelty and abuse such as: The National Citizens Alliance supports animal welfare, and the five principles from the Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare: freedom from hunger, thirst, and malnutrition, freedom from fear and distress, freedom from physical and thermal discomfort; freedom from pain, injury, and disease; and freedom to express natural patterns of behaviour. We apply these freedoms to all animals such as companion animals, farmed animals, animals in scientific research, and wildlife. The National Citizens Alliance supports replacing “wilful neglect” in the Canadian criminal code with “standard of welfare” based on the five freedoms as outlined. Also, the National Advancement Party of Canada supports increasing the fines and prison sentences for acts of animal cruelty.

Cindy Gladue was found dead in a hotel bathroom In 2011. She had bled to death. The cause of her death and the way her case was handled by the judicial system sparked protests that would eventually get her case heard by the Canadian Supreme Court. Almost 10 years later, we are still seeking justice for Cindy. 

A copyright troll is a party (person or company) that enforces copyrights it owns for purposes of making money through litigation, in a manner considered unduly aggressive or opportunistic, generally without producing or licensing the works it owns for paid distribution. Critics object to the activity because they believe it does not encourage the production of creative works, but instead makes money through the inequities and unintended consequences of high statutory damages provisions in copyright laws intended to encourage creation of such works. Both the term and the concept of a copyright troll began to appear in the mid-2000s. It derives from the pejorative "patent trolls", which are companies that enforce patent rights to earn money from companies that are selling products, without having products of their own for sale. It is distinguished from organizations such as ASCAP, which collect royalties and enforce copyrights of their members. Limitations and exceptions to copyright are provisions, in local copyright law or Berne Convention, which allow for copyrighted works to be used without a license from the copyright owner. Limitations and exceptions to copyright relate to a number of important considerations such as market failure, freedom of speech, education and equality of access (such as by the visually impaired). Some view limitations and exceptions as "user rights"—seeing user rights as providing an essential balance to the rights of the copyright owners. There is no consensus among copyright experts as to whether user rights are rights or simply limitations on copyright. See for example the National Research Council's Digital Agenda Report, note 1. The concept of user rights has also been recognized by courts, including the Canadian Supreme Court in CCH Canadian Ltd v. Law Society of Upper Canada (2004), which classed "fair dealing" as such a user right. These kinds of disagreements in philosophy are quite common in the philosophy of copyright, where debates about jurisprudential reasoning tend to act as proxies for more substantial disagreements about good policy. The idea–expression distinction or idea–expression dichotomy is a legal doctrine in the United States that limits the scope of copyright protection by differentiating an idea from the expression or manifestation of that idea. Unlike patents, which may confer proprietary rights in relation to general ideas and concepts per se when construed as methods, copyrights cannot confer such rights. An adventure novel provides an illustration of the concept. Copyright may subsist in the work as a whole, in the particular story or characters involved, or in any artwork contained in the book, but generally not in the idea or genre of the story. Copyright, therefore, may not subsist in the idea of a man venturing out on a quest, but may subsist in a particular story that follows that pattern. Similarly, if the methods or processes described in a work are patentable, they may be the subject of various patent claims, which may or may not be broad enough to cover other methods or processes based on the same idea. Arthur C. Clarke, for example, sufficiently described the concept of a communications satellite (a geostationary satellite used as a telecommunications relay) in a 1945 paper that it was not considered patentable in 1954 when it was developed at Bell Labs. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/law-school/support

In this New St Cross Special Ethics Seminar, Professor Arthur Schafer outlines the current contours of the Canadian euthanasia debate. In June of 2016 the Canadian Parliament passed legislation (Bill-14) legalizing MAiD: medical assistance in dying. Subject to various restrictions, both mercy killing and medically assisted suicide are now legal in Canada. The contours of the Canadian euthanasia debate will be described, with special focus on the ethical issues that remain most controversial. Two salient Canadian Supreme Court decisions will be analysed: Rodriguez (1993) and Carter (2015), as well as more recent constitutional challenges. The presentation will conclude by outlining the further legal changes that are likely to (or that should) occur in the reasonably near future.

While women could run for provincial and federal office, and vote, by 1928 they still could not sit on the Canadian Senate. Seeing this, five women would come together to change things, not only in relation to the Senate, but Canada as a whole. It would be a long journey that would reach even higher than the Canadian Supreme Court. This is the story of the Famous Five and the Persons Case.

In this episode, Léonid Sirota, Senior Lecturer at the Auckland University of Technology Law School, discusses his work on Canadian constitutional law. He begins by describing the sources of Canadian constitutional law, when they were adopted, and which institutions have interpreted them. He explains that the prevailing view of Canadian constitutional law rejects originalist methods of interpretation in favor of a form of living constitutionalism. But he observes that this position is overstates, as the Canadian Supreme Court actually engages in a form of originalist interpretation on a regular basis. He argues that the Court should acknowledge its use of originalist methodologies and that they may promote the rule of law. Sirota is on Twitter at @DoubleAspect and blogs at doubleaspect.blog.The articles addressed in this interview include:Benjamin Oliphant & Léonid Sirota, Has the Supreme Court of Canada Rejected "Originalism"?, 42 Queen’s Law Journal 107 (2016).Léonid Sirota & Benjamin Oliphant, Originalist Reasoning in Canadian Constitutional Jurisprudence, 50 UBC Law Review 505 (2017).Léonid Sirota, More v.

This week we feature two segments, the first on anti-pipeline resistance at the Gidimt'en Camp in Canada and second with JR from sub.Media about Mental Wellness and the recent Trouble episode on the subject. Wet'suwet'en Pipeline Resistance, so-called BC First up, we'll hear from Delee Nikal, a Wet'suwet'en community member from the Gidimt'en clan and the Cas Yikh House, a First Nation in so-called British Columbia, Canada. In 2009, Wet'suwet'en members of the Unist'ot'en clan (also of the Wet'suwet'en nation) began actively blocking pipeline workers and government officials from accessing their land without prior and fully informed consent of the nation on the land. Over the years, Unist'ot'en has become home to various structures to not only block the passage of the pipeline but also to create opportunities for indigenous folks to heal themselves and promote their culture.  On December 14th, the Canadian Supreme Court pushed through an injunction on behalf of Coastal GasLink (owned by TransCanada) threatening the Wet'suwet'en community defending its land at Unist'ot'en with police invasion. Following this, a public statement was made by the 5 hereditary chiefs of the Wet'suwet'en for all of the clans to block pipelines on their land. The Wet'suwet'en people have no treaties with the Canadian or provincial government, their land is unceded and sovereign territory within the bounds of what's claimed by Canada. According to United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Article 10: “Indigenous Peoples shall not be forcibly removed from their lands or territories.” This includes RCMP, and/or military removal of Indigenous Peoples occupying their territory , say the land defenders. They also point out that the 1997 Supreme Court of Canada ruling in the Delgamuukw/Gisdaywa court case affirmed that Wet'suwet'en title, based on the traditional clan governance system, was never extinguished. In the days since this interview was recorded, an update to the injunction by the Canadian Supreme Court was released that updated names and places to be targeted by police action and the chiefs were informed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or RCMP, a Canadian Federal police force that their people and their spaces would likely be attacked by the RCMP in coming days to move forward on the building of the Coastal GasLink pipeline. The Wet'suwet'en resistance to the pipeline is asking for native folks to come to help defend the land from further Canadian incursion, for allies and accomplices to engage in solidarity actions to pressure and embarrass the Canadian government and spread word of the resistance of Wet'suwet'en people on their sovereign lands in defense of the earth, air and water that all of us share on this planet. You can inform yourself more by visiting wetsuweten.com and keep up on updates via their fedbook page named "Gidimt'en Checkpoint visit: Wet'suwet'en Access Point on Gidimt'en Territory".

International Call to Action for Gidimt'en Access Checkpoint for Tuesday, January 8th, 2019 JR of sub.Media on Mad Worlds and Trouble And secondly, we are going to present an interview with JR, who is a member of the subMedia collective about their recent Trouble episode called Mad Worlds. Trouble is a monthly mini documentary series from this collective which highlights different aspects of life and struggle on the far left. It's meant to be watched in groups to promote discussion and counter the increasing isolating aspects of modern day existence. The episode “Mad Worlds, Redefining Sanity Through Struggle” explores the concept of sanity and how this is intrinsically linked to the white hetero settler colonialist patriarchy, and also gets into the psychiatry industrial complex and what it could mean to be on either side of that structure. This is the first time that me and Bursts have interviewed someone together, so let us know what you think of that! To see more from subMedia, including It's The End Of The World And We Know It And I Feel Fine, also called The F*cking Show which features anarchist news analysis and reporting from the infamous character of the Stimulator, also they do a semi regular anarchist/antifascist hip hop workout show called Burning Cop Car (which we've drawn on multiple times for music to score The Final Straw), and of course Trouble, you can see all that at https://sub.media.

Trinity Western University (“TWU”) is a private institution organized around a specific viewpoint: evangelical Christianity. As part of that conviction, TWU affirms a “conduct covenant” which limits sexual behavior to married heterosexual couples. Two bar societies determined in view of that covenant that TWU graduates were not fit to “article,” that is, sit for the bar due to TWU’s institutional standard, irrespective of whether the graduates agreed or practiced that standard. The Canadian Supreme Court affirmed the bar societies, even though religious liberty is a fundamental right delineated in the nation’s Charter of Rights.Featuring: Derek B.M.

Controversial National Security Law Introduced in Canada (2:35) Canada's conservative government has introduced a new national security law, which human rights groups say will amount to racial and religious profiling. The legislation was introduced after the Canadian Supreme Court struck the 30-year-old “security certificate” law that allowed for the indefinite detention of alleged terrorists in Canada. FSRN's Stefan Christoff reports from Montreal. /// listen to reports produced for Free Speech Radio News between 2002 - 2012, the flagship Pacifica radio daily news program, these reports were produced in Montreal, but also in Beirut, Lebanon. putting these reports up for archiving purposes, they address numerous grassroots struggles for justice and against oppression, particularly looking at struggles surrounding migrant justice, also indigenous movements for land and rights, while also struggles against colonialist wars today & the persisting impacts of wars past. thank you for listening ! stefan @spirodon

A Christian college was recently denied accreditation by Canada's Supreme Court based on the religious guidelines its students are forced to follow. Listen to find out what those guidelines are and why the court made its ruling.

Sometimes, motion picture theatres are the place where all manner of people come together and enjoy the shared cultural stories via this amazing art form.  And, sometimes they are the scene of racially motivated acts of intolerance.  Viola Desmond was waiting on car repairs when she decided to see The Dark Mirror at the Roseland Theatre in the fall of 1946.  Little did she know that the 30 cent ticket she purchased and her refusal to sit in the "proper place" in a segregated auditorium would start a chain reaction of civil rights milestones that would go all the way to the Canadian Supreme Court.

Workplace collective agreements must be based on human rights legislation, Canadian Supreme Court rules. When Joanne O’Brien went on maternity leave before she’d completed her probationary work period at Parry Sound, Ontario’s social services administration board, she returned to find herself fired. That was 1998. She complained to a labour board, which ruled that her employer had violated her rights under Ontario’s human rights code. After further appeals, on September 18, 2003, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that under Ontario law, a labour board is responsible for spelling out human rights and other employment-related laws in their collective agreement. This established human rights legislation as the basis on which employers must build employer/employee agreements, whether or not the rights they promise are written into their collective agreements.

This week we have special guest host to converse over an eyewitness account with our very own. With Trudeau and a Canadian Supreme Court contributing to the new found financial freedom of Omar Khadr, we decided to speak to one of the men who treated Mr. Khadr in combat. This an interesting one to say the least. If you've read this far please forward to Joe Rogan. 

This week's News Roundup episode focused on three major news items, plus one smaller related one. First up, we discuss the European Commission's action against Google over Google Shopping integration in search, including a 2.4 billion Euro fine. Secondly, we discuss Facebook's announcement of 2 billion monthly active users and its significance, as well as a subtle shift recently in Facebook's focus. In the context of those two items about giant companies, we also talk briefly about the Canadian Supreme Court's ruling that Google needs to take down links in search to IP-infringing product listings not just in Canada but globally and the ramifications of that ruling. Lastly, we discuss both the formal reviews released this week of Amazon's Echo Show and Jan's own first impressions on using the device for a couple of days. As usual, the show notes below include links to all these stories on Tech Narratives.

Beverley Baines is a Professor in the Faculty of Law at Queen’s and cross appointed to the School of Policy Studies and to the Department of Gender Studies in the Faculty of Arts & Science. In the 2012 fall term she taught Public Law and Law Gender Equality; currently she teaches Constitutional Law and, in the School of Policy Studies, Law and Public Policy. Since acting as an advisor to some women’s groups during the drafting of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Professor Baines’ research interests have consistently focused on how courts, especially the Canadian Supreme Court, interpret the Charter guarantee of sex equality in women’s cases. Recent projects include analyzing cases and legislation restricting faith-based family law arbitrations, criminalizing polygamy, and banning (or failing to reasonably accommodate) the niqab from the perspective of the women who seek constitutional recognition of their intersecting rights to sex equality and religious freedom. Her research also includes a reflection on whether feminist judges must self-identify as feminists and a paper examining feminist legal reasoning in the judgments of Justice Bertha Wilson, the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1982. Baines co-edited Feminist Constitutionalism: Global Perspectives (Cambridge, 2012) with Israeli Justice Daphne Barak-Erez and Professor Tsvi Kahana (Queen’s), and The Gender of Constitutional Jurisprudence(Cambridge, 2005) with Professor Ruth Rubio-Marin (Faculty of Law, University of Seville). http://law.queensu.ca/facultyAndStaff/facultyDirectory/baines.html

Omar Khadr was captured by American Forces in July 2002 in Afghanistan following a firefight between Afghani insurgents and US soldiers. Severely wounded by two M-16 bullets in his back, Khadr, who was just 15 at the time, was flown to Bagram airbase where he was treated for his injuries and later subjected to “enhanced interrogation techniques” before being transported to the notorious US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The US government deemed Khadr an “enemy combatant” in 2002 which allowed US military interrogators to use “enhanced techniques” on the teenager that are described by various human rights groups as forms of torture that would otherwise be banned under the Geneva Conventions. Khadr's “enemy combatant” status also allowed an American military tribunal to prosecute the young Canadian for war crimes despite being defined as a child soldier by the United Nations. Khadr is the only child soldier ever to be tried for war crimes. Khadr languished in Guantanamo Bay for eight years before pleading guilty to five war crimes charges in October 2010 including murder for allegedly throwing a grenade in the 2002 firefight that killed a US soldier. Khadr's Canadian lawyer, Dennis Edney, have suggested that the Canadian still maintains his innocence and only agreed to the guilty plea so he could be repatriated to Canada. Despite urgings from the US government and several rulings by Canadian Courts, the Canadian government refused on multiple occasions to seek the repatriation of Khadr to Canada. Canada is the only western nation that did not seek and receive the return of one of its citizens from the Guantanamo Bay prison. In January 2010, the Canadian Supreme Court ruled that the failure of the Canadian government to seek Khadr's return to Canada was a violation of his Charter rights. Speaker: Dennis Edney Originally from Dundee, Scotland, Dennis Edney is a Canadian defence lawyer based in Edmonton, Alberta noted for his involvement in many high-profile and complicated cases, including being the defence lawyer for Abdullah and Omar Khadr, who were captured in the War on Terror, and for Fahim Ahmad in the 2010 Toronto terrorism case. Mr. Edney has appeared in all levels of Canadian courts, including landmark Supreme Court cases: Canada (Minister of Justice)v. Khadr 2008 S.C.C. Canada (Prime Minister)v. Khadr 2009 S.C.C. and as well The Queen v. Fahim Ahmad 2010 SCC Mr. Edney was granted standing to file an amicus brief before the United States Supreme Court, in Rasul v. Bush, 2002. He was also appointed as Foreign Attorney Consultant by the U.S. Pentagon to participate in the Military Commission trial of Omar Khadr, a young Canadian detained in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Dennis Edney received the prestigious 2008 National Pro Bono Award, and is the recipient of the 2009 Human Rights Medal, awarded by the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, for work that has helped promote and further human rights.

Kate Hopkins's new book "99 Drams of Whiskey: The Accidental Hedonist's Quest for the Perfect Shot and the History of the Drink" is getting a lot of attention from whisky lovers...and with good reason. She's been blogging as the Accidental Hedonist since 2004, and I think it's one of the best whisky books of the year. We'll hear from Kate in this episode...and in the news, the legal fight over Glen Breton Rare Single Malt Canadian Whisky may be over after a Canadian Supreme Court ruling, Isle of Jura shuts down because of ferry problems, and new whiskies from The Glenrothes and Douglas Laing.
