Podcasts about ontario superior court

It's Monday, July 13th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Texas police officers vs. Christian preachers at “pride” event Today, our persecution of Christians story comes surprisingly from Texas. On June 27th, Rich Penkoski and like-minded believers spoke the truth and preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a bullhorn at the Trinity Homosexual Pride Fest in Fort Worth, Texas.  Not surprisingly, homosexual activists and nearby business owners complained to police about both his message and the amplification. When police responded, the officers threatened to arrest and cite the preachers, telling them that phrases like “homosexuality is a sin” were offensive. Listen to a portion of one video posted by preacher Penkoski of his interaction with a female officer. POLICE OFFICER: “If someone is offended by your talking, then we have a problem.” PREACHER: “That's a constitutional violation of our rights. If you shut us down for talking or speech …” (crosstalk) POLICE OFFICER: “No. If they are offended by speech, …” PREACHER: “I don't care if they're offended.” POLICE OFFICER:  “Okay, then I'll write you a ticket, and we'll go from there.” PREACHER: “Wait, you're going to ticket us for offensive speech?” POLICE OFFICER: “Yes, absolutely.” PREACHER: “Are you serious? You're going to cite us for offensive speech.” POLICE OFFICER: “It's called disorderly conduct.” Plus, according to another video, a male police officer also said if the preacher used biologically accurate pronouns for someone pretending to be the opposite gender that also could be considered an offense. The preacher was warned that continued use of the bullhorn would violate the city's noise ordinance before ultimately receiving a disorderly conduct citation after continuing to use the device. Subsequently, the Fort Worth Police Department acknowledged that an officer made "certain statements that were not accurate," reports Fox News. In last Thursday post on X, Penkoski wrote, "Police officers have been violating preachers' 1st amendment rights for years. This isn't new, we just got it on video, and they can't walk it back or deny it.” He added, “As a street preacher, it is not my job to coddle anyone or go soft on sin. People are dying and going to hell every day and we have to warn them. ​… Christians need to wake up. We have got to stop sitting in the safety and comfort of our church pews and start taking the Gospel back to the streets. If we refuse to exercise our constitutional rights, we are going to lose them." In Matthew 5:13, Jesus said, “You are the salt of the Earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.” Homosexual couple sues surrogate who refused to abort baby with cleft lip A homosexual male couple in Canada has sued a surrogate mother who believes she is being punished because she refused a request to abort the baby after doctors detected a cleft lip and a possible heart defect, reports The Christian Post. They used a donor egg and sperm from each of the intended fathers. In a suit filed in Ontario Superior Court in May, the homosexuals allege the surrogate mother failed to keep them informed about the baby's health, caused them emotional distress, and violated their confidentiality, reports The National Post. The lawsuit came two years after the perverted couple asked her to abort the baby at 22 weeks — a request she refused. Specialists at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto later determined that the baby was otherwise healthy, except for the cosmetically fixable cleft lip. The couple accepted this assessment, agreed to continue the pregnancy, and took the baby boy home after birth. The surrogate unsuccessfully sought repayment of about $10,000 in out-of-pocket costs. Ironically, the couple filed a lawsuit for $600,000 in damages against the single mother for her failure to abort their now living son. More than 50 countries prohibit both commercial and altruistic surrogacy. And here in the United States, surrogacy laws vary by state. New video: Senator Mitch McConnell loaded into ambulance New video posted on July 10th shows Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky being loaded into an ambulance after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his Capitol Hill home last month, reports the New York Post. McConnell has been absent from the Senate for nearly a month as he continues to recover in the hospital. The 84-year-old lawmaker is not seeking re-election this November and will retire when his term ends in January. California puts abortion pill reversal on trial Heartbeat International, a pro-life group, is on trial in a California court for daring to inform women that the effects of the Abortion Kill Pill can sometimes be reversed, reports The Washington Stand. Their attorney, Danielle White, said, “Women deserve to know all of their options. They don't lose that right after beginning a chemical abortion.” In 2023, Democratic California Attorney General Rob Bonta  sued Heartbeat and a pro-life pregnancy center for “advertising Abortion Pill Reversal as safe and effective.”  Factually speaking, the abortion pill reversal protocol simply requires the use of the natural hormone progesterone which is both safe and helps save 65% of the babies. Bonta asked the court to impose a penalty of more than $20 million against Heartbeat and $600,000 against the pregnancy center. That would amount to a financial death sentence for the pro-life non-profits. The case went to a bench trial on June 24, 2026, and the trial may continue for another three weeks. Thomas More Society's Paul Jonna said, “A ruling in California's favor would hand attorneys general across the country a roadmap to penalize any non-profit organization that provides women with information the state disagrees with. If the [California] Attorney General prevails and our clients cannot deliver free, truthful, and lifesaving information to women who request it, then countless babies that could survive may not — and countless women may never meet the children that they wanted to carry to term.” Marriage advocate Mike McManus entered Heaven On a personal note, my father, Mike McManus, entered the gates of Heaven on July 5th at the age of 85 in Nashville, Tennessee.  Standing at 6'8” tall, he might have had to duck to walk through. To be sure, Dad had a God-sized vision to make a difference. After graduating from Duke University, he was employed at Time Magazine where he was stationed in Bueno Aires, Argentina and later covered President Lyndon Johnson at the White House, writing two cover stories. In 1973, my Dad organized a public participation campaign, “Choices for ‘76” to engage 10 percent of the 20 million people of the New York Metropolitan region in policy issues as the U.S. approached its Bicentennial. The project aimed to spark public debate through a series of television town meetings on issues like housing, transportation, the environment, poverty and urban growth. After becoming informed, citizens were invited to express their opinion on possible public policy tradeoffs, using ballots available in newspapers, banks and libraries. Then, he wrote two self-syndicated weekly newspaper columns which appeared in 100 newspapers.  The first, called “Solutions,” was politically focused and offered practical public policy suggestions. The second, “Ethics & Religion,” was inspired by the preaching of Pastor Terry Fullam of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Darien, Connecticut. It grappled with church news and moral issues like abortion, pornography, and the homosexual agenda. I remember helping him copy, collate, stuff, stamp, address, and seal the envelopes to send out his weekly columns to newspaper editors across the country before the advent of the internet and email. We were always racing to the post office to get there before the deadline at 11pm at night. In 1993, he published his first book Marriage Savers: Helping Your Friends and Family Stay Married. Other books included 50 Practical Ways to Take Our Kids Back from the World and Living Together: Myths, Risks and  Answers. In a 2013 phone interview on American Family Radio, Dad talked about the major myth that women believe about living together. MIKE McMANUS: “One of the myths, believed widely by women, is that ‘'If I live with him, he's going to see how wonderful I am, and he'll ask me to marry him.' But he knows that this woman would marry him if he asked her. He's living together with her because he doesn't want to get married. He wants the sex, he wants the companionship, and the shared rent. But he doesn't want to get married. “She believes this myth until about a year and a half, two years into the relationship, when she realizes he's not going to ask her to marry him, and she sadly walks away. Unfortunately, by that time they may have already had a child. The unwed birth rate has risen right along with cohabitation. “This is an unbiblical position, of course. I mean, the church has been silent on the problem, and it's part of the problem.” Cognizant of the clarity of Malachi 2:16 in which God says He “hates divorce,” my father's passion on the issue led to his founding of the non-profit Marriage Savers with my mother, Harriet, to whom he was married for 61 years and whom he simply adored.  He said, “Most divorces are filed by one person who alleges incompatibility, while the other spouse wants to save the marriage. Sadly, divorce is always granted. When adultery or abuse is not alleged, divorce should only be granted if there is 'mutual consent' by husband and wife. What was entered into by two people, should not be ended, unless both people agree." They organized 10,000 pastors in 229 cities in 43 states to sign a Community Marriage Policy agreement that established rigorous premarital preparation for engaged couples and trained volunteer mentor couples to help people in troubled marriages. The Baptist Press reported that the divorce rate in those cities dropped by 17.5%. Think about the heartache that saved untold families and children! Their work led to appearances on ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, CBN News, The O'Reilly Factor, The Ricki Lake Show, Breakpoint with Chuck Colson, Focus on the Family with Dr. James Dobson, Truths that Transform with D. James Kennedy, and Moody Radio's Janet Parshall. I treasure the books that Dr. Dobson personally inscribed to my father as a fellow warrior for the family that are now in my library. And Chuck Colson, President Richard Nixon's former hatchet man who was gloriously saved on his way to prison over Watergate and founded Prison Fellowship, wrote the forward to one of Dad's books after their friendship blossomed. Having always aspired to live on the water, he eventually moved into his dream home with his bride in Kilmarnock, Virginia, just 50 feet from Indian Creek that fed into the Chesapeake Bay.  A great day for him was enjoying the view from his leather chair, reading the paper, listening to classical music, and talking with my mother, who was his great joy. My father taught me how to write clearly and think Biblically. I remember him quizzing us three boys at the dining room table about current events. And he was a faithful husband who pointed the family to faith in Jesus Christ, His legacy lives on in my two younger brothers, John and Tim, and in me, as I strive, with my bride Amy, to disciple Honor, Mercy, and Valor in the ways of the Lord, urging them not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of their minds in the Word of God, as Romans 12:2 articulates. 9 Worldview listeners gave $2,055 And finally, toward our $30,875 goal during the first full week of our month-long fundraiser, 9 listeners stepped up to the plate by 10:30pm Central on Saturday and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another 365 days.

In this episode of Hull on Estates, Nick Esterbauer and Osama Saleemi discuss D.R. v. A.R., 2026 ONSC 796, a recent decision of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice addressing guardianship of property under the Substitute Decisions Act, 1992, and when less restrictive options might be more appropriate. Case reference: D.R. v. A.R., 2026 ONSC 796 (CanLII),

In this episode of Hull on Estates, Doreen So and Yalda Mostafaie discuss Estate of Sydney Monteith, 2023 ONSC 7246, in which the Ontario Superior Court of Justice considered whether a fostered but non‑adopted child could inherit on an intestacy. The episode examines the interaction between the Succession Law Reform Act and the Children's Law Reform Act, and the Court's strict statutory approach to defining "child" and "sibling" for intestate succession purposes.

This week on Hull on Estates, Natalia Angelini and Sofie Hector discuss Hernandez v. Hernandez, 2026 ONSC 1136, where the Ontario Superior Court of Justice awarded costs against a party who was successful on the legal issue before the Court, emphasizing that relative success does not shield a litigant from adverse cost consequences where their conduct undermines proportionality and the efficient administration of an Estate.

The appellant, Aphria Inc. (“tenant”), entered into a ten-year lease for commercial office premises with the respondent landlords and successors (collectively, “landlord”). The tenant served a notice of repudiation on the landlord and vacated the premises. The landlord did not accept the tenant's repudiation of the lease. Ultimately, the landlord sued the tenant for rents owing.The motion judge in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted the landlord summary judgment for the rent owing plus interest. The motion judge declined to grant the landlord judgment for future rent. The motion judge dismissed the tenant's cross-motion for summary judgment for a declaration that if rent was owing, the amount was capped at rent owing for two years from the date of default pursuant to the lease. The Ontario Court of Appeal unanimously dismissed the tenant's appeal. It held that the motion judge did not err by refusing to depart from Highway Properties Ltd. v. Kelly, Douglas and Co. Ltd., [1971] S.C.R. 562, in order to recognize a duty to mitigate on commercial landlords who reject a repudiation of a lease by the tenant. The court also held that the motion judge did not err in his interpretation of the lease. Argued Date 2026-02-18 Keywords Contracts — Commercial leases — Repudiation — Duty to mitigate — Stare decisis — Interpretation — Are commercial landlords exempt from the duty to mitigate damages? — If the common law is able to grow and adapt to changing conditions, when and how should lower courts depart from Supreme Court of Canada decisions on common law? — Should courts apply the plain meaning of the words chosen by the parties in interpreting a contract, in the absence of any factual matrix evidence?

This week on Hull on Estates, Natalia Angelini and Darien Murray discuss the decision of Watson v Lopes, 2025 ONSC 5934, where the Ontario Superior Court awarded a common-law spouse a lump-sum amount in dependant's support based on the deceased's moral obligation, despite being unable to conclude he could not support himself.

Tensions flared at the last Chatham-Kent council meeting as councillors continued to debate the Community Hub project. A planned class-action lawsuit stemming from the explosion in downtown Wheatley in 2021 has been dismissed by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

Fresh from a hectic Passover weekend of assisting in conducting services at his Beth Sholom Synagogue in Toronto, and also leading a community seder there, Rabbi Louis J. Sachs says he has been trying to ignore the “noise” of the surprise lawsuit brought against him late last month by his previous congregation. Sachs' former synagogue, Beth Torah congregation–about a ten-minute drive north from his new job–filed a lawsuit March 27 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice alleging breach of contact and suffering financial losses from their former rabbi's conduct before he moved. Beth Torah wants the court to award them $750,000 in damages, including future lost membership. While none of these allegations have been proven in court, Rabbi Sachs insists he disagrees with what Beth Torah is saying about him–that he violated his contract by slacking off on his duties for them, while doing a series of events for the new shul before officially leaving his old one. In his view, he gave Beth Torah plenty of notice. He left after a little more than two years because he says he was unsatisfied he had to do so much administration work: the new place has more staff, which would allow him to focus on carrying out the rabbinical and pastoral work for which he was trained. Sachs joins The CJN Daily's Ellin Bessner today to explain why he intends to “clear his name” in court and what his message is to both congregations. Also on the episode, we hear from Beth Sholom's president Margaret Lindzon and from Rabbi Avi Finegold, The CJN's resident rabbi, on why rabbis leave. Beth Torah declined to do any interviews with The CJN.

In episode 158 of Not On Record, Joseph and Diana delve into the complex legal landscape surrounding BDSM and bodily harm, spotlighting a recent case, R. v. Pearson (2025 ONSC 435), from the Ontario Superior Court. The episode begins by revisiting the recurring theme of consent and legality in BDSM practices, spurred by the mainstream influence of works like Fifty Shades of Grey. They outline five key legal takeaways: advanced consent via contracts is not legally binding, consent to bodily harm is invalid, agreements like "no means yes" are impermissible, participants must know who is involved to consent, and judges ultimately determine consent boundaries—often with a conservative bent. The discussion pivots to the Pearson case, where extreme BDSM acts like caning, stapling, and choking were examined, alongside a contested incident involving a baseball bat. The hosts highlight how defense lawyer Jordan Gold effectively leveraged expert testimony to challenge existing laws, prompting a judicial postscript urging reconsideration of whether BDSM-related bodily harm should remain categorically non-consentable.

A pro-Israel student is suing Toronto Metropolitan University for $1.3 million, arguing the school allowed violations of campus policies that created a toxic atmosphere for Jews—and even cost her a job. Eslewhere, Jewish members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada—whose dues get donated to Palestinian causes like the United Nations Relief & Works Agency—are outraged that a senior official in the union has been posting pro-Hamas slogans to social media. What connects these stories, and more than 500 others? These Canadians sought help from the new CIJA Legal Task Force, a free initiative created by the lobbyist organization the Centre for Israel Jewish Affairs. Created years ago as a professional development group, the task force has, since Oct. 7, evolved into a “rapid response” pro bono legal team that combats antisemitism directly—by taking the issues to court. Officials behind the group say that politicians, police officers, school boards, unions and hospitals have failed to take the problem seriously, prompting them to take matters into their own hands. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, we're joined by former federal crown prosecutor Nanette Rosen, who co-chairs the legal task force, and Richard Marceau, a lawyer and CIJA's general counsel.

They should be clear and enforceable, covering all potential scenarios to safeguard your interests.There is a significant difference between transactional lawyers who handle agreements and closings and litigation lawyers who manage disputes. It's beneficial to have both types of lawyers on your team.Current litigation trends include buyers not being able to close deals due to appraisal issues, loan defaults, and promissory note disputes, often exacerbated by rising interest rates.Sellers can protect themselves by including clauses in contracts that allow immediate release of deposits if a buyer defaults and by considering alternative dispute resolution methods like arbitration to avoid lengthy court delays.Before purchasing a property, conduct thorough searches to ensure no outstanding work orders and verify ownership. Also, ensure the property's income can cover all expenses and have a financial buffer.Being ready for potential vacancies or tenant issues by having personal financial resources available and a clear exit strategy, such as refinancing options.About ShanekaShaneka Shaw Taylor is the brilliant mind behind Taylor'd Litigation Professional Corporation.

An Ontario court judge is expected to rule as early as this week on whether the seven-week-old pro-Palestinian tent city at the University of Toronto will be allowed to remain, or whether it must be dismantled immediately—with police help, if necessary. Lawyers for the university were in court last week arguing the encampment is illegal and has done irreparable harm to UofT's international reputation, while also violating the rights of Jewish and pro-Israel students and staff. Lawyers for the student protestors countered in court that their right to free speech and free assembly trumps any concerns the school may have. The Toronto encampment is one of about a half-dozen still up on Canadian university campuses since a wave of pro-Palestinian tent cities began in the United States in April. McGill's was the first in Canada—and it's still operating after two failed appeals to courts. Waterloo just issued a trespass notice on Friday, while five other schools have cleared theirs, usually with police help: York University, UQAM, the University of Calgary and the University of Alberta. Ontario Tech University in Oshawa was the first and only Canadian post-secondary institution to date to agree to the students' demands, and saw the tents come down peacefully. The CJN's Jonathan Rothman has been covering the UofT encampment since it went up, writing numerous pieces for us and conducting interviews inside. He joins _The CJN Daily _to describe what the tent city is like and predict what might happen next.

Two weeks ago the Federal Court determined the Trudeau government's invoking of the Emergencies Act violated Canadians' protections under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. - Then questions were asked about the so-called COUTTS 4 who have remained held in pre-trial custody and without bail since February 13/14, 2022, after being arrested and charged at the Coutts, Alberta - U.S. border crossing, as truckers and farmers blocked the border while protesting federal Covid-19 mandates.  The four men face charges of conspiracy to commit murder (police officers), possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose and mischief over $5,000.  Lawyers have questioned whether the men's constitutional rights to engage in a fulsome defence of the charges against them have been violated. They had been scheduled to stand trial last June.  This week, an Ontario Superior Court overturned and earlier court acquittal on a mischief charge against Allen Remley, a Freedom Convoy protester in Ottawa. Mr. Remley had been accused by police of operating a "mobile gas station," a children's wagon filled with jerry cans. He had also parked his truck illegally. There is a publication ban in place on goings-on in court concerning the Coutts 4. Second guest this half hour will address this issue.

From January 29 - February 20, 2022, the eyes of the world were upon Ottawa, Canada as hundreds of truck drivers and thousands of their supporters engaged in the self-styled “Freedom Convoy” protest against COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates.In this episode of Crown and Crozier, we examine the Freedom Convoy through the lens of key tenets of the Catholic Church's teaching – especially St. Thomas Aquinas' formula for what constitutes just law and the principles that underlie when civil disobedience is permissible.In particular, we pose the following questions:According to the Catholic Church, what constitutes authentic human freedom?Was the Freedom Convoy justified in protesting against COVID restrictions which may not have fulfilled the criteria for just laws?  Could a Catholic participate in the Freedom Convoy in good conscience?Our guest is Dr. Mary Catherine Sommers, Professor Emerita of Philosophy and past director of the Center for Thomistic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas.Documents/Websites referenced St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, 1st part of the 2nd part: Q90Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraph 2242 (refusing obedience to civil authorities)Pope Leo XIII, Sapientiae Christianae - Encyclical on Christians as Citizens (1890)Mark R.

Canadian truckers blocked the nation's busiest border crossing between the U.S. and Canada in protest of the mandatory vaccine policy imposed on the Canadian truckers returning from the USA. With the disruption of the crucial trade links between the two countries, how can the US government prepare itself for future risks? In today's episode of the Pod Bless America Podcast, Jim and Dan talk about the trucker's protest against the vaccine mandate. They'll discuss how the Canadian government views and responds to the protest, and what impact the so-called Freedom Convoy has had on the supply chain. Enjoy! In This Episode01:05 - Why truckers are striking 02:37 - People's response to the Toronto Star poll 05:08 - What the counselor of Ottawa City has to say about the protest 11:00 - Why the government won't give in to the protesters 16:19 - What the chief of police has to say about the protest 20:43 - Justin Trudeau's response to the protest 28:31 - The Ontario Superior Court's ruling on the noise barrage 33:29 - What the Inter-Pacific Specialized Transport & Crane Services has decided about the government's request for towing the trucks 40:49 - Taking down the trucker's communication system Favorite Quotes18:02 - "It's a peaceful protest. There's no violence. These truckers are just showing up. They're laying on their horns. They're blocking the roads, which over here block the streets, and manage disorderly conduct. That's all it is, certainly not insurrection. And they (government) are moving to cut off their money, their fuel, their food, any supplies coming into them, and that makes me feel like they're not gonna come in with the intent to negotiate." - Jim Larkin and Dan Wilkinson Jr. 44:45 - "When people are fed up, they're fed up. When they see something that works, they're gonna go down that road and take it. " - Dan Wilkinson Jr. 45:35 - "What I hope happens is America sees what's happening in Canada and gets ahead of it. I don't care if they want to do a victory dance on COVID. I want Joe Biden to be like, we did it! Mission accomplished." - Dan Wilkinson Jr. Engage with Pod Bless America PodcastEmail: jim@pbapodcast.comFacebook Listen to more episodes of the Pod Bless America PodcastApple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle Podcasts
