So many of today's arguments (especially by interveners) in #Chouhan are arguments to be made in front of Parliament, not the #SCC . We can't ask the Court to fix all of our bad policy.

THC oral fluid testing doesn’t shows current impairment; it shows prior use. This is going to be challenged as soon as it is law, wasting time, money & limited Court resources while innocent people go thu hell & have to wait 18 months or more to get their lives back. Insanity.

I'm not entirely convinced. @fordnation has always been good at the folksy performance of governance and bad at sound policy. We may get through this with him cheering us on, but it will be despite his cuts to healthcare, justice etc not because of them.

I see this with my clients all the time. An acquittal or a withdrawal of charges doesn’t eliminate all the problems associated with overzealous arrests. Many still lose jobs, housing & suffer permanent reputational damage.

A criminal charge, even minor, can trap Ontarians in a ‘vicious cycle’ of unrelated problems,...
