On behalf of dogs everywhere, Finnegan is enjoying the news tonight!

I had the pleasure of interviewing Justice Sharpe (retired ONCA) for the Witness to Yesterday podcast. His memoirs are a delightful exploration of the last 50+ years of the legal profession (practice, academia, the judiciary). You can listen here: champlainsociety.utppublishing.com/digital-cont...

Jenica Atwin is running for Mayor of Fredericton! This is great news.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... @susanholtnb.bsky.social Dear Premier Holt, Mount A has been recognized as the #1 undergrad university in the country for 26 of the past 35 years. Why would the province ever want to give this up? Education is the best investment.

“Everyone is a beloved child of God, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity - and not shot in the head.” An inspiring interview with Jesuit priest, Rev. James Martin. Worth watching the entire interview not just reading it. www.nytimes.com/video/podcas...

I really enjoyed reading the book and interviewing @alanmaceachern.bsky.social for the Witness to Yesterday podcast!

youtu.be/vRgXL2tf0Cc?.... The Jimmy Kimmel affair reminds us that the Rule of Law underpins democracy. Roncarelli v Duplessis reminds us that politicians must be bound by law.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Free speech is under attack. As we have seen over the last several weeks, #cdnmedia - like counterparts in the US - report on this issue selectively, sanitizing the speech of mostly right wing pundits & politicians. This is old news, of course, but also why late night “comedy” became so important.

So much for “free speech”…I guess it’s only for MAGA. Hypocrites.

JUST IN: Disney’s ABC is taking Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show off the air indefinitely amid a controversy over his recent comments about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer. https://cnn.it/3VmUl9n

I’ve revamped my Canadian Legal History at UNB Law to focus foundational civil liberties such as freedom of expression, freedom of religion, habeas corpus, the Magna Carta, etc. Back to basics in an era of erosion…this FDR quote reminds us why the U.S. used to be the leader of the free world..:

Edmonton students should always be able to get this reference…
