Donald Trump, in some of his rants, is asking for an unconditional surrender from Iran. He's asking them to step away from all of their nuclear capabilities, and he is giving them no other choice, or there could be the consequences of the US military entering the conflict between Israel and Iran. The question is, of course, really about the conflicts in the Middle East. They are ongoing, and they don't seem to end. They die out, and then they resurface again. Somebody does something politically that irritates somebody, and then the whole fight begins all over again. Is the US willing to step in every time something like that happens? Now, according to one of Donald Trump's campaign platforms, he doesn't want to enter long-term wars or somebody else's long-term war that is too costly and costs too many lives, and it doesn't make sense to him. And yet, at this point, he is maybe saying that the United States is going to enter the conflict between Israel and Iran. He did leave the G7 meeting early to go back to Washington, to quote, unquote, maybe deal with some of the things that are happening between Israel and Iran.There were more waves of destruction between the two countries and more. Missiles fired more statements of hate, with Israel saying that they now have total command over the airspace over Iran. Donald Trump did make another comment about that, saying that that was done because of US military equipment, and there is more of that equipment to come. Final comments From the G& SummitMark Carney as he discussed some of the things that happened between him and Donald Trump, and that there are some areas of agreement that stronger borders, more protections for Canadian and US airspace, as in, there is a anti missile program to be put in place, and a horizons radar system to be put in place to protect both countries from the next biggest Arctic country on the other side of the Arctic Ocean is, of course, Russia, and Mr. Putin is more than willing to take action. We've seen that, and there are some while we're talking about about Mr. Putin, he was ejected or not invited to come to the g7 or the g8 and Mr. Carney does address that by saying that the second did he and his country invaded Crimea, and that that was the the reasoning for, for the ejection and for the no invitation, which does kind of make sense, Mr. Putin says that it may have been insulting not to be invited, but it was more a to in response to that, maybe it was more insulting to have your home invaded. Questions on the floor. At the end of the G7, about Mr. Carney. He was being asked about energy and resource supplies, and in which case did they talked about how to negotiate to ensure that Canada is well on its way to being an energy and resource superpower, that Canada is rich in such things like LNG projects, which are part of that package. Premier David Eby, as he talks a little bit about those resources, and he's also going to talk about other trade deals with countries like China and in other parts of the world. He was, he was on a trade mission in Asia to promote British Columbia resources. One of those British Columbia resources is, of course, liquid natural gas. So Mr. Carney was asked about liquid natural gas directly, and he said it's that liquid natural gas is part of a bigger package, just a part of a bigger package. So he was asked a few times about trade agreements with the United States, and one of the more interesting statements that I think Mr. Carney made was that there is a trade agreement. There is a trade agreement. Trade Policy has already been put in place between the US and Canada, and that was with the USMC, and that agreement should still stand. That trade agreement was also negotiated under Donald Trump's first term as president. Mr. Carney also discussed other ways of combating tariffs on steel and aluminium, and there are other ways for Canada to get around those tariffs and to secure what we need here in Canada.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

This week on Driving Law, Kyla and Paul review two BC Supreme Court cases that highlight the risks of representing yourself in traffic court. First, they unpack the failed appeal of a driver who claimed he was interacting with his truck's console—not a phone—when ticketed for distracted driving, and how a lack of courtroom experience undermined his defence. Then, they analyze a judicial review involving a rejected late dispute application—complete with a single stamped reason: “No arguable defence”—and why that was upheld despite arguments about inadequate reasoning. Later in the episode, Erik Magraken delivers a pointed Magraken Moment on the lack of accountability for ICBC and the BC government in the aftermath of the Lapu Lapu festival tragedy. He argues that victims are being denied justice under BC's no-fault system while Premier David Eby publicly vilifies the accused. Kyla and Paul break down the political and legal consequences, including how no-fault laws strip victims of their right to compensation and access to court.

Premier David Eby's partial retreat on the Economic Stabilization Tariff Response Act marks a significant moment in BC's response to US tariff threats. While the government has agreed to remove Part 4 of Bill 7—the section granting powers to amend legislation without parliamentary approval—legal expert Michael Mulligan reveals why serious concerns remain.The bill still contains provisions allowing the government to unilaterally cancel contracts, change procurement practices, and impose taxes without legislative debate. Particularly troubling is language that prevents affected parties from seeking judicial review of government actions—a fundamental protection in democratic systems. "Protection against legal proceedings" suggests the government wants to shield itself from court challenges, raising serious questions about accountability.Mulligan's analysis cuts to the heart of democratic governance: should we empower executives with unilateral authority, even during international disputes? He draws a striking parallel between the chaos of Trump's tariff decisions and the risks of BC's proposed response: "Left-wing populism is not a good response to right-wing populism." The comparison to Ontario Premier Doug Ford's hasty electricity tariff—quickly announced, then withdrawn—serves as a cautionary tale about reactive governance without deliberation.The remaining sections of Bill 7 grant more extensive powers than were used during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite facing only economic threats rather than a public health emergency. As Mulligan notes, "We are not at war with the United States." Want to understand the delicate balance between government authority and democratic safeguards?
