Emergencies Act Decision; Cdn Junior Hockey Player Charges; Mi'kmaq Friendship Centre Visit

This week, I focus on two stories. First, five players from the 2018 Canadian junior hockey team are set to be charged this week with sexual assault. I review some of the evidence, and possible outcomes. Also, the Federal Court has declared that the government was unreasonable in invoking the Emergencies Act to combat the trucker convoy/freedom protests in Ottawa. I dive into the decision, including possible lines of appeal or legislative amendment. To start, I note that the final report of the Desmond Inquiry will be released this week, and I discuss a visit I had this week to the Mi'kmaq Friendship Centre in Halifax.
