Podcasts about supreme court of canada

This week's real estate and economic headlines reveal a country standing at a major inflection point — and nowhere is that more evident than in housing.At the center of the conversation is one of the most consequential private property disputes in modern Canadian history. The Supreme Court of Canada's refusal to hear a New Brunswick Indigenous title appeal may have major implications for British Columbia's controversial Cowichan land claim case. Why does this matter? Because for the first time, courts are grappling with whether Aboriginal title claims could extend over privately owned “fee simple” land, the foundation of how most Canadians understand homeownership. For homeowners, developers, lenders, and municipalities, the outcome could reshape the legal certainty underpinning real estate itself.At the same time, Canada's economy appears to be losing momentum. With real GDP declining for a second consecutive quarter, economists are increasingly referring to the country's slowdown as a “technical recession.” Yet the picture is far from simple. While housing activity, construction, and business investment continue to soften, certain sectors remain resilient, raising an important question: is Canada entering a genuine downturn, or simply navigating a temporary reset?Housing sits directly in the middle of that uncertainty.Buyer confidence remains cautious, resale activity is subdued, and population growth, long the engine of housing demand, has begun slowing. As inventory rises in some markets, particularly condos and rentals, the assumption that housing demand will endlessly accelerate is facing fresh scrutiny.The labour market is sending warning signals too. Job vacancies across Canada have fallen nearly 50% from their 2022 peak, reaching their weakest levels in almost a decade. Fewer openings, weaker hiring, and slowing payroll growth are often early indicators of broader economic softness, and for a highly leveraged housing market, employment confidence may matter more than interest rates.Meanwhile, mortgage stress continues to quietly build. While national arrears rates remained stable in March, foreclosures in British Columbia have climbed to record levels, highlighting a growing divide between headline stability and financial strain beneath the surface.Governments, however, are beginning to intervene. Surrey's decision to reduce development fees for new housing marks one of the boldest affordability experiments by a Canadian municipality this year. The move aims to lower construction costs and revive stalled projects, though new amenity charges raise questions about whether affordability gains will truly materialize.Elsewhere, Toronto's pre-construction market is showing signs of life — but perhaps not for the reasons headlines suggest. Sales have surged from historic lows, yet rising prices may be driven less by stronger demand and more by government rebate programs unintentionally flowing back to developers.And finally, Vancouver's future economy may soon be shaped by artificial intelligence. Proposed AI data centres promise billions in economic investment and thousands of jobs, but critics warn the city may already be stretched beyond its infrastructure limits. The debate raises a familiar question in Canadian housing: how do cities balance growth, affordability, and livability?Canada's housing market is no longer just a story about rates and prices. It's increasingly a story about law, jobs, infrastructure, demographics, and government policy, all colliding at once. The decisions made today could shape housing outcomes for years to come._________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

A single Supreme Court of Canada decision can quietly change the ground rules for thousands of breakups, and this one just did. We unpack the Court's creation of a new tort tied to intimate partner violence, described in terms of coercive control and coercive and controlling conduct, and we dig into what that really means when the behaviour isn't limited to physical violence. If you've ever wondered how the common law can invent a new civil wrong, this is a live example with immediate consequences for family law and civil litigation in Canada. We talk plainly about the hard part: definitions and incentives. The ruling points to emotional abuse, economic control, manipulation, isolation, and even improper litigation tactics, with broad language about autonomy, equality, and meaningful life choices. That may capture serious harm, but it also leaves lawyers and judges with little guidance on what crosses the line or how money damages should be measured. We explain why that uncertainty could turn more divorces into longer court battles, especially when property division is on the table and “fault” arguments start creeping back into a system built to avoid them. Then we shift to a chilling criminal law case out of Victoria: two friends, drinking, cocaine, guns, and a so-called bulletproof vest that proves only bullet-resistant. The facts are grim, but the legal lessons are clear, from firearm offences and a polymer 80 type handgun to why you cannot legally consent to grievous bodily harm. We also break down how manslaughter works without an intent to kill, and why a firearm manslaughter conviction triggers a mandatory minimum prison sentence. If you want more careful legal analysis that connects court decisions to real-world outcomes, subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

Recent data from Statistics Canada shows millennials are twice as likely to live with their parents as baby boomers were at the same age.

The B.C. government announced the Site C dam, the hydroelectric generating station on the Peace River in northeastern B.C., will be renamed to the John Horgan Dam, in honour of the province's former late premier. The Supreme Court of Canada has decided to hear a court challenge from the B.C. government appealing a landmark decision on mineral rights and the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. To discuss what this appeal will mean for B.C. laws and its reconciliation efforts, we were joined by West Coast Environmental Law's Jessica Clogg, a member of the Gitxaala Nation's legal team, and Terry Teegee, the regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations.

Quebec's secularism law, Bill 21, prohibits certain public servants from wearing religious symbols while on the job. It was passed in 2019 with a pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding law - a section of the Charter that protects legislation from court intervention if the legislation goes against other freedoms. Last week, the Supreme Court heard arguments on how provinces should apply the notwithstanding clause, and whether or not its application should be subject to review after the fact. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to journalist Max Fawcett to discuss the historical context of the clause, what legal challenges come with Bill 21, and potential outcomes from the Supreme Court's decision.

In this episode of Runnymede Radio, we feature an original interview with Professor Norman Siebrasse (University of New Brunswick). Professor Siebrasse discusses his recent study using artificial intelligence to examine long-term trends in Supreme Court of Canada decisions. By analyzing thousands of judgments from 1974 to 2025, the study places cases on a rules–standards spectrum and identifies a marked shift toward more standard-like reasoning beginning in the early Charter era. The conversation also explores the idea of “Charter contagion,” the relationship between increasingly lengthy decisions and declining rule-likeness, and the broader promise and limits of AI in legal and academic research. This episode offers a careful examination of artificial intelligence as a research tool and of the evolving character of Supreme Court reasoning in Canada.

Canada's highest court will hear arguments from critics of the Province of Ontario's plan to build a spa at Ontario Place. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss the stakes of the case and why they're surprised the court is taking it on. The Province of Ontario has a plan to connect 2 million Ontarians with a primary care provider by 2029. It's a lofty goal, but the actual number might be significantly lower. Steve and John Michael discuss why the metric might change. Ontario's public servants are back in the office five days a week, but Members of Provincial Parliament are on break from the legislature all the way until March. Steve and JMM discuss the reaction to the return to in-office work and the optics of it all.

What happens when crucial evidence is withheld from the defence in a murder case? The devastating consequences unfolded in a tragic BC case where a woman's life was completely shattered after being wrongfully convicted in connection with a toddler's drowning death.The Supreme Court of Canada recently ordered an acquittal for a woman who served a year in prison after pleading guilty to criminal negligence causing death. She made this plea without knowing that Crown prosecutors had withheld 140 pages of material questioning the reliability of the medical examiner whose opinions were central to the case against her. The consequences went far beyond her prison sentence—she lost custody of her four children, faced community ostracism, developed drug addiction, and eventually became homeless.This miscarriage of justice highlights the critical importance of proper evidence disclosure in our legal system. Even the family of the deceased toddler supported the acquittal, recognizing the compounded tragedy when justice fails. Adding a bizarre twist to this case, the Alberta government recently issued an apology to the medical examiner, stating "there have been no miscarriages of justice" connected to his work - apparently contradicting the findings of both the British Columbia Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada.In another revealing case, a permanent resident faces deportation after 34 years in Canada due to impaired driving convictions. Despite police violating his rights by video recording him using the toilet in his cell (which the judge acknowledged warranted some sentence reduction), the court declined to artificially lower his sentence below the six-month threshold that triggers deportation proceedings. With 32 driving prohibitions on his record, the judge was "flabbergasted" that the Crown wasn't seeking maximum penalties.These cases offer crucial warnings: for legal professionals about proper evidence handling, for permanent residents about pursuing citizenship when eligible, and for law enforcement about respecting constitutional rights even when dealing with repeat offenders. When our justice system fails, the human cost can be immeasurable.Subscribe to hear more stories about the intersection of law, justice, and human lives on Legally Speaking with Michael Mulligan.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed. 

February 1 is the day Donald Trump declared the U.S. will impose import tariffs on Canadian products. In the meantime, leaders at the federal and provincial level have been debating responses to those tariffs. One idea that has cropped up again... and it's by no means a new one... is bringing down interprovincial trade barriers. Why do they still exist and what could easing them mean for the Canadian economy? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our show this week concentrates on the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC). We were triggered by the strange take on a sexual assault case from Justice Sheila Martin, who took issue with the word "woman." Then John reads out a few woke posts from the Court's X account. We also go over an excellent column on the SCC by Barry W. Bussey in The Epoch Times, and we review the Court's decision not to hear the Justice Centre's Manitoba lockdown challenge.

Beat the censors; sign up for our newsletter: https://firstfreedoms.ca/call_to_action_pages/stay_informed/ “The law is always going to be involved in issues with a political dimension, but that is different from the court itself being political.” – Barry W. Bussey In this video, Barry presents his thoughts on the politicization of the Supreme Court of Canada. There is much discussion about the recent Kruk decision wherein Justice Martin, at paragraph 109, brought into the legal vernacular “person with a vagina.” Barry points out that this development is part of an ongoing process at the SCC that is very worrying. Barry reminds us that it was Chief Justice Richard Wagner's condemnation of the Trucker Freedom Convoy 2022 that epitomizes the extent to which the politicization of the SCC has gone. This development is a far cry from the highwater mark during the tenure of Chief Justice Bora Laskin who maintained that judges are to abstain from politics in keeping with their impartiality and their independence.

Last month, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the federal Impact Assessment Act (Bill C-69) was largely unconstitutional, a win for the province of Alberta—and a win for the many energy and climate focused businesses looking to invest in this province. But what does this mean for the future of energy in Alberta, and where do we go from here? In this episode, we are joined by Sean Sutherland, Partner in Litigation at Osler, for a deeper dive into the significance of the Supreme Court's ruling, how this decision impacts provinces across Canada, and the immediate implications for public policy. We also learn more about the Impact Assessment Act itself, how it was received across Canada, and what he thinks the next iteration might look like. ------------ About The Business Council of Alberta The Business Council of Alberta was founded on a simple idea: to make life better for all Albertans.

Alberta won a round in one of its many battles with the federal government after a key piece of legislation was struck down. The Supreme Court ruled Bill C-69, or the Impact Assessment Act, which affected the approval process for major projects on federal land, was unconstitutional. Alberta had challenged it on the basis that it infringed on provincial jurisdiction. Calgary Herald columnist Chris Varcoe joins the show to discuss what made the act so controversial in Alberta, the Court's reasoning in its decision, and how this all plays into the back and forth between Alberta and the Trudeau government Background reading: Varcoe: 'Stay in your lane' — After victory against Bill C-69, Alberta emboldened in feud with feds Learn more about your ad choices.
