In court last week for two days of closing submissions in Metro Taxi v. Ottawa. After a two-month trial earlier this year, we finally took a photo of the Conway Baxter Wilson LLP/s.r.l. team: Marion Sandilands, Abdalla Barqawi and Joseph Rucci. It's out of our hands. Now we wait...

A corporation that wants to deposit human remains on the moon for profit is dismissive of the Navajo Nation's cultural and religious objections. NASA is stuck in the middle again. Bets on who wins this debate? phys.org/news/2024-01-n….

I am so pleased that my friend and colleague, Abdalla Barqawi is running for CCLA / ABCC trustee. He is an outstanding lawyer and has so much to contribute to our Ottawa legal community. Please give him your support in the upcoming CCLA Trustee elections.

I have something to say about the state of the Justice System in Ontario. I hope some of you will join me in standing up and demanding better from our elected officials.

Thanks to our colleagues of the CCLA / ABCC who voted for Abdalla Barqawi. He will be an energetic and thoughtful trustee. Takes me back, way back, to the day I was first elected a trustee. Thanks for all your support over the years and for honouring us with Abdalla's election.

Abdalla Barqawi Thomas G. Conway CCLA / ABCC Calling it now: Abdalla for future CCLA president.

An Ontario Superior Court judge has ruled that the City of Ottawa was negligent in its enforcement of the city's taxi bylaw when it allowed Uber to begin operating in 2014, harming the city's established taxi industry. ottawa.ctvnews.ca/city-of-ottawa…

Utter nonsense? The court disagrees! 😁

This is an enlightened, smart decision. Ottawa taxi drivers were badly and unfairly treated by the City who did not stand up for them. Ottawa surrendered to Uber's bullying, abandoned cabbies: judge | Ottawa Citizen #ottcity #ottawa ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…

So grateful to be working with such a talented team of young lawyers who are devoted to a great cause for justice and to the craft of advocacy. Law nerds all, and proud of it! They are the future of our great profession.

We thank OBA President Kelly McDermott for her dedication to promoting the Ontario Bar Association Peer Support Network for Lawyers Living with Disabilities. We are honoured to receive this recognition.

Watching the Olympics is always exciting, but this year will be extra special as we cheer on our favourite Olympian, Sophia Jensen, to victory. We are all paddlers now, dabbling paddlers to be sure, but paddlers nonetheless! Go, Sophia, Go!
