S05E09 Manifestly, Supremely Strange

Justice with John Carpay

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.
