From Warrants to Wheelchairs: Legal Solutions for Those Who Need Them Most

Navigating mental health crises poses profound challenges for families watching loved ones deteriorate without effective intervention options. This episode sheds light on a powerful yet underutilized legal tool - Section 28 of BC's Mental Health Act, which allows family members and concerned individuals to apply directly for a "warrant of apprehension" when someone exhibits dangerous mental health symptoms.A recent Colwood court judgment outlines exactly how this process works, revealing that applications have increased significantly recently. The warrant enables initial 48-hour detention for proper assessment when someone displays behaviour indicating they may harm themselves or others. We dissect the legal criteria judges consider: reasonable belief in mental disorder, need for treatment, purpose of protection, and inability to proceed voluntarily. This mechanism empowers families who previously felt helpless, though its effectiveness ultimately depends on available treatment facilities and mental health resources.We also examine two significant Court of Appeal decisions with far-reaching implications. First, a dangerous offender designation was upheld for an individual with decades of sexual offending against young boys, illustrating how the justice system handles those deemed to present an unmanageable risk to society. Second, a class action lawsuit against WestJet regarding passengers with disabilities who require multiple seats can proceed despite jurisdictional questions between federal transportation regulations and provincial discrimination laws. This fascinating exploration of "paramountcy" shows how courts attempt to harmonize seemingly conflicting legislation rather than automatically favouring federal authority. Have you encountered situations where knowledge of these legal mechanisms might have helped someone you know? We'd appreciate hearing your experiences.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

Während Lufthansa eine Anpassung aufgrund eines angeblichen Wertverlusts von ITA fordert, lehnt das Ministerium dies ab.

We start this week's episode discussing some of the recently announced details of the historic agreement reached by flight attendants at Alaska Airlines, and the strategic foresight shown in their campaign. We have yet another horrific story of prison slavery in the US, this time with a judge ruling that Louisiana can continue to force incarcerated workers to labor in dire conditions even in extreme heat. We learned shocking details this week of attempts by the federal monitor overseeing the consent decree with the UAW attempting to interfere in the union's position on Palestine.  Workers in Turkiye are fighting back against a super exploitative boss and a corrupt company union, all while their real employer, Levi's sits and does nothing. Massachusetts announced a "historic" settlement agreement with Uber and Lyft to raise driver wages in the state, but as we discuss the agreement conceals a lot of major problems. Finally, we close our with a story of successful resilience and determination by Canadian workers at WestJet.

Ever wondered about the life of a flight attendant (and ground crew)? This is the episode for you. Paul welcomes his good friend Vinod for an episode full of fun aviation and travel stories — a long episode, with the laughs taking quite some of that length.From Edmonton to Vancouver, via Calgary (and its keys!), the many airports he worked at (Paul still hasn't been to Canada), Martinair, British Airways, Air Berlin, or WestJet, amongst the many airlines he worked for (and in a world of crew camaraderie around the world, BA really seems like a big family).Is there something about the uniform that transcends trends? And Vinod's secret to treat cabin crew well (Paul is inspired).The experience of turbulences in the air (and yes, we discuss that fateful Singapore Airlines flight), but also the video game of driving a jet bridge.Can you get Covid from an aircraft wing: flying during the pandemic to (and working at) Tokyo 2020 (NRT, a game of chairs) and Beijing 2022 (PEK, calcifying under sanitizing spray).Does each airline have a specific smell, or is that a neurotic avgeek thing? (dried fish seems like a bad omen though).  Vinod attempts to convince Paul that Frankfurt and Heathrow are great airports, and he nearly succeeds (his definition of LHR is just the best, and Paul softens on FRA), and we (kinda) agree on Singapore's carpet.And many more stories (Vinod's most memorable flights are quite something). Listen to Vinod Viswalingam's podcast (hosted along with the great Geoff Dahl), Seat 1A:Seat1A on Apple PodcastsSeat1A on SpotifySeat1A (website with more links)
