NS Police Review, Plea in School Stabbing, Jr Hockey Anti-Trust Suit, Elvers, PM Trudeau v CJ Wagner

Lots to cover this week after no show last weekend. The big, but underreported, story is the Federal Government appealing a decision of the Federal Court on the country-wide shortage of judges. The Chief Justice wrote to the Prime Minister about the issue, which generated a declaration from the Federal Court that the government should speed up the appointment process. Now, the government is saying that the letter from the Chief Justice is heresay, and not evidence that should have been relied upon. Quite a thing to say about the CJ. I also cover the lack of a Charter statement on the new Online Harms Act, an attempt to restructure how junior hockey players are assigned to teams, the closing of the elver fishery, a Michigan father convicted of manslaughter for his son's school shooting, a not guilty plea in the Shelburne forest fire, the failed attempt to keep the Alehouse Liquor Control Act hearing secret, and the Bedford teen who was charged with attempted murder in a school stabbing incident at C.P. Allen High School.
