Probably just me, but as someone who cut his teeth in the Calgary School, I have very little patience for the 'there aren't any conservatives on campus' argument.

The Haida sued for their title before negotiating.
ALWAYS SUE before negotiating. It’s leverage.

The Minister of National Revenue fought this tenant’s appeal in court and won –

So, does this mean Marie-Claude Bibeau supports tenants being held liable for their landlord’s taxes?

Absolutely bonkers story here: A court has ruled a tenant can be held liable for taxes that a non-resident landlord fails to pay. So tenants are expected to keep tabs on where their landlords live and pay taxes... theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/va…

It was inevitable this story would turn into the trial of MAiD but try to spare some outrage for the zero-excess-capacity health system we built intentionally over the last 30 years that is breaking under duress and will probably take 30 years to fix.

Disgraced priest Johannes Rivoire abused Inuit children then fled to France where he has lived since 1993.

His death, and ultimate avoidance of justice, represents a systemic failure of nation states and religious institutions.

Canada broke its treaty obligations to the Blood Tribe in Alberta but the band is barred from suing by a statute of limitations, the Supreme Court of Canada says, in a case that may impact First Nations' ability to sue the Crown for historic breaches. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

The Supreme Court’s Blood Tribe decision today is penurious and cowardly.

The Court agreed that Canada cheated the Blood Tribe for a century, but blamed them for trying to negotiate (!) which made a few years late to sue—so they lose.

Lesson: fuck negotiation. Just sue. Always.
