The Justice Centre (website jccf.ca) has been going strong for ten years, so there is a lot to discuss. With facilitator and producer Kevin Steel, each week John will bring you up to date on the latest, as well as provide insights about the law and the fight for freedom.

Lawyer Marty Moore discusses the firing of a library CEO in an Ontario town, let go after she published an opinion piece in the local paper defending freedom to read, diversity of opinion, and neutrality in library collections. The board that fired her, in a supposed effort to provide a "safe" space for everyone, did so in violation of their own policy.Cathy Simpson in Niagara Now, Feb 21, 2024: Censorship and what we are allowed to readNiagara Now, Mar 21, 2024: NOTL’s chief librarian fired over column in The Lake ReportNiagara This Week, Mar 16, 2024: Niagara-on-the-Lake chief librarian under fire for column supporting controversial U.S. groupJustice Centre, Jan 29, 2020: Vancouver Library Takes A Strong Stand For Free Speech In Allowing Event Discussing Gender IdentityMarc A.

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. A few sympathetic words are reserved for the Chief Justice in his struggle with the federal government to get more judges appointed.National Post, Mar 13, 2024: Supreme Court decision opts for 'person with a vagina' over 'woman'CanLII, Mar 8, 2024: R. v.

We have arrived at the fourth anniversary of the Covid pandemic and the implementation of draconian restrictions throughout Canada.  Traditionally, the fourth anniversary is celebrated with fruit and flowers, however this is something of a bitter celebration as some repressive measures continue. What, if anything, have we learned? For one thing, we learned that it is easy to rule by fear. We also convey a Justice Centre message for International Women's Day. We look at a Radio Canada story about puberty blockers, and we revisit the BC MLA Selena Robinson story now that she has resigned from the NDP caucus.Sign the Petition: Stop the Online Harms ActX Post by @JCCFCanada, Mar 8, 2024: On International Women’s Day, the Justice Centre envisions a Canada where...Washington Times, Mar 12, 2024: COVID-19 tested our commitment to freedom; 4 years later, we’re still failingVancouver Sun, Mar 22, 2022: COVID-19: About 2,500 B.C. health-care workers lost jobs over refusal to vaccinateThe Canadian Press via The National Post, Mar 7, 2024: Freedom Convoy trial judge will hear argument that Lich, Barber conspired to organize an illegal protestJustice Centre, Mar 7, 2024: Charges stayed against Derek Sloan and Henry Hildebrandt over their peaceful pro-freedom protestsJustice Centre, Jan 18, 2024: ArriveCAN ticket case dismissed, but Charter rights remain in limboJustice Centre, Feb 20, 2024: Quebec teacher challenges Education Minister’s gender transition policyThe Telegraph via MSN, Mar 12, 2024: NHS bans puberty blocker prescriptions for children in ‘landmark decision’The National Post, Mar 6, 2024: 'You broke my heart': Read Selina Robinson's resignation letter to the B.C.

John takes us through his critique of the proposed federal Online Harms Act. While acknowledging some good in it, he notes that most of that good is duplication of existing laws, while the bad is, in his words, "the worst attack on free speech in modern Canadian history." The federal government is using "safety" as the justification, and their main target is "hate speech." The government says it wants to bring the law in line with the Supreme Court, but John demonstrates how even that court has difficulty in producing a coherent definition of "hate."Justice Centre, Feb 29, 2024: Online Harms Act threatens free expression in CanadaJustice Centre Petition: Stop the Online Harms ActJohn Carpay in the The Epoch Times, Mar 5, 2024: Online Harms Act the Latest Manifestation of Canada's New Maternal FascismThe National Post, Jan 13, 2012: Richard Warman's hate speech quagmireJoseph Brean in The National Post, Feb 29, 2024: The history of Section 13, the controversial hate speech law the Liberals just revivedi24 News, Nov 9, 2023: Berlin criminalizes slogan 'From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be freeThe National Post, Nov 17, 2023: Charge stayed against Calgary pro-Palestinian protester who chanted 'from the river to the sea'The National Post, Mar 5, 2024: Online harms bill could spark 'an absolute tsunami of complaints'CBC, Feb 26, 2024: Groups fighting anti-Black racism file complaint against Canadian Human Rights CommissionCanLII, Feb 27, 2013: Saskatchewan (Human Rights Commission) v.

Quebec lawyer and Director of French Canada for the Justice Centre Olivier Séguin tells us about a case where a teacher is suing the provincial government to get rid of its guide on transgender issues for schools. The teacher had been ordered by her to school administration to hide a 14-year-old's female-to-male social transition from her parents. The school thought it was following the law, but the Ministry of Education's guide appears to be misleading. Mr. Séguin gives some context as to how this case fits into the province's politics as Quebec parents wake up to the woke agenda.Justice Centre, Feb 20, 2024: Quebec teacher challenges Education Minister’s gender transition policyThe Canadian Press via CTV News, Sep 1, 2023: Quebec police probe threats after school says nonbinary teacher prefers Mx. pronounThe National Post, Jan 17, 2024: Montreal doctor suspended for three months after argument over patient's pronounsThe Canadian Press via Global News, Sep 12, 2023: No to mixed-gender bathrooms in Quebec schools, says education ministerRebel News, Mar 1, 2024: Une enseignante conteste la directive de l'école concernant la divulgation de l'identité de genreTheme Music "Carpay Diem" by Dave StevensSupport the show
Lawyer Marty Moore gives us a round-up of court cases involving gender issues and parental rights across Canada. Starting in New Brunswick, the fight moved west to Saskatchewan and then into Alberta with new policy announcements by Premier Danielle Smith. Court challenges in Alberta, he believes, are inevitable. If the province opts to use the Notwithstanding Clause, as the government did in Saskatchewan, there is a potential for a sea change in how constitutional questions are settled, as more provinces move to overrule activist courts.Marty Moore on X, Feb 10, 2024: "We may be on the cusp of a sea change in constitutional law in Canada, where Canadian legislatures, outside of QC, exercise increasing authority under the notwithstanding clause..."National Post, Feb 1, 2024: Alberta's new transgender rules: From restricted treatments to pronouns and parental rightsJustice Centre, Feb 20, 2024: Quebec teacher challenges Education Minister’s gender transition policyCBC, Jun 18, 2023: N.B. premier stands by changes to school LGBTQ policy, says he does not want an electionRegina Leader-Post, Sep 28, 2024: Moe vows to use notwithstanding clause after court injunction halts pronoun policyJustice Centre, Jan 10, 2024: Intervening for parental rights: UR Pride v.

John starts the show by discussing the kerfuffle around Selina Robinson, forced to resign from the provincial cabinet in British Columbia for remarks about Israel pre-1948. It was a collision of outrage and cancel culture. Everyone involved failed, including Robinson and the mainstream media. Free speech and accurate reporting were completely ignored. We move on to other stories with similar themes, about media bias, free speech on campus, and we finish up with Danielle Smith's transgender policies.John Carpay in the Western Standard, Feb 13, 2024: Sorry Selina, but what goes round, comes roundB'nai Brith, Jan 30, 2024: An Evening with Our Jewish Public OfficialsGlacier Media via Castanet, Feb 1, 2024: College instructors group calls on B.C. minister to resign for criticizing pro-Hamas teacherNational Post via MSN, Jan 26, 2024: Pro-terror college instructor who claimed victory at not being fired... is firedVancouver Sun, Nov 2, 2023: How public comments made outside of the workplace can become 'off-duty misconduct'Brian Lilly in the Toronto Sun via MSN, Feb 6, 2024: Canada's biased media do themselves no favours with PoilievreBlacklock's Reporter, Feb 8, 2024: Media Untrustworthy, BiaseCBC, Feb 9, 2024: Trudeau 'pissed off' by Bell Media's 'garbage decision' to lay off journalistsJohn Carpay in the Western Standard, Feb 8, 2024: Unbelievable but true, as NDP legislator demands pro-energy speech banJustice Centre, Feb 6, 2024: Justice Centre Weekly: Glenn Blackett on the importance of professional dissent - S02E02Joel Kotkin in The National Post, Feb 8, 2024: 'Decolonized' universities dividing Canadians--Higher education goes MedievalJustin Deschamps in Badlands Media, Feb 7, 2024: Gender Ideology Has Become Law--The Cautionary Tale of Canada's Subversive, Incremental LawfareTrue North, Feb 2, 2024: “A step forward” LGBT Albertans react to Danielle Smith’s new gender policiesPamela Paul in The New York Times, Feb 2, 2024: As Kids, They Thought They Were Trans.

Lawyer James Manson discusses the hearing for Harold Jonker on Tuesday, January 30. Mr. Jonker is a trucker and a former town counsellor who was penalized by his Township for attending the Freedom Convoy. Mr. Manson says he's pleased because he felt Mr. Jonker received a fair hearing. We speculate about the positive influence on the country following the recent ruling that the Emergencies Act was an unlawful response to the Freedom Convoy.Justice Centre, Sep 26, 2022: Harold Jonker v.

John gives us a brief account of his experience introducing Tucker Carlson at Rogers Place in Edmonton the evening of January 24th. Then we turn to the big ruling from the Federal Court in the Emergencies Act case that determined "the decision to issue the Proclamation was unreasonable and led to infringement of Charter rights not justified under section 1," (to quote from Justice Mosley's decision). Many contributed to this victory. The big winners are the Canadian people.Rebel News, Jan 25, 2024: Unhinged Liberals have a meltdown after Tucker Carlson invades CanadaTrue North, Jan 26, 2024: Liberal MPs urge Poilievre to condemn Carlson and criticize Danielle SmithJustice Centre, Jan 23, 2024: Court Ruling: Federal Government acted illegally in responding to 2022 Freedom ConvoyJohb Carpay in The Epoch Times via the Justice Centre, Jan 23, 2024: Emergencies Act: Finally, a Canadian Court Rules Against GovernmentJohn Carpay in the Western Standard via the Justice Centre, Jan 24, 2024: Finally, a judge who didn’t just say ‘it just doesn’t matter any more’ Reuters via MSN, Jan 24, 2024: Trudeau govt to appeal ruling on use of emergency powers to end 2022 protestsBlacklock's Reporter, Jan 26, 2024: ArriveCan Audit Due Feb. 12Blacklock's Reporter, Jan 26, 2024: MPs See ‘Apparent Reprisals’Justice Centre, Jan 18, 2024: ArriveCAN ticket case dismissed, but Charter rights remain in limboJustice Centre, Sep 19, 2023: Québec lockdown curfew on trial this week“In Conversation” with the Justice Centre at Toronto's Leña Restaurante, Feb 1, 2024Theme Music "Carpay Diem" by Dave StevensSupport the show
We open the new season with a discussion of three recent Justice Centre victories: 1) The Michal Princ case in Alberta where a doctor was accused of professional misconduct for providing Covid vaccine exemptions, 2) the Leah McInnes case. Leah, a Saskatchewan nurse, who had been accused of unprofessional conduct because she protested—both in the streets and on social media—against lockdowns and vaccine mandates, and 3) an ArriveCAN ticket case in Ontario. The ticket case has ties, in spirit, with the Peckford ArriveCAN case, in which our lawyers have requested leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada after lower court rulings that our Charter-based lawsuit against the ArriveCAN was moot.Justice Centre, Jan 18, 2024: College drops charges against Alberta doctor who granted Covid vaccine exemptionsThe Democracy Fund, Sep 14, 2023: CPSO drops disciplinary proceedings against Ontario physician for opposing harmful Covid policiesJustice Centre, Jan 19, 2024: Free speech victory: Charges against nurse who opposed vaccine mandates defeatedJordan Peterson in the National Post, Jan 17, 2024: Bureaucrats will rue the day they tried to shut me upJustice Centre, Oct 10, 2023: Saskatchewan nurse faces disciplinary proceedings over expressing her opinionsJustice Centre, Jan 18, 2024: ArriveCAN ticket case dismissed, but Charter rights remain in limboJustice Centre, Nov 10, 2023: BC healthcare workers’ vaccine mandate challenge: Tatlock, Koop, et al. v.

Lawyer Marty Moore takes us through some of the latest cases at the Justice Centre, starting with a victory in court for peaceful protestor Evan Blackman who was arrested in Ottawa Feb 18, 2022, and facing criminal charges.

In a follow up to our January 16 podcast (S04E02 Another Institution Captured?), lawyer Glenn Blackett goes over the latest from the Law Society of Alberta, a Professional Development Profile. It is, he says, full of "woke" concepts that threaten to undermine the rule of law. This past summer, an informal group of lawyers sent an open letter to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to alert the government about the situation.Justice with John Carpay Podcast, Jan 16, 2023: S04E02 Another Institution Captured?Law Society of Alberta: Professional Development ProfileGlenn Blackett in The Western Standard, Jul 17, 2023: Justice under threat as Alberta Law Society seeks to enforce wokeismchange.org Petition, Jul 13, 2023 (includes a link to the Letter to Premier Danielle Smith): Rule of Law and the Law Society of AlbertaLaw Society of Alberta: Indigenous Cultural Competency Education (The Path)Calgary Herald, Mar 30, 2022: Alberta introduces legislation mandating sexual assault law education for potential provincial judgesBBC, Sep 11, 2023: Israel judicial reform explained: What is the crisis about?CanLII, Mar 30, 2017: Green v.

John talks about his recent column in The Epoch Times in which he applauds the Saskatchewan government for invoking the notwithstanding clause on the parental rights issue. We then discuss the case of Saskatchewan nurse Leah McInnes who’s being targeted by her professional college, and the parallels with her case to others across the country. At about the halfway point we get to our main topic; the danger to free expression from the CRTC as it requires online streaming services to register with the government.
