The allegation by @CIJAinfo that the judges of the @CIJ_ICJ are biased against Israel, have been "politicized by the Palestinians and their allies" and enlisted in "a form of lawfare against the Jewish State" is outrageous. The facts about the Court:

Last night at 7 PM the @YorkUniversity administration sent a message to the community saying that it supports freedom of expression and academic freedom, and is committed to a dialogue with protesters at the pro-Palestinian encampment set up yesterday. yorku.ca/bettertogether…
Last week, after @UofT issued trespass notices to protesters, the @TorontoPolice said the Trespass to Property Act does not give them sufficient legal authority to clear an encampment. We will act only in an emergency or to enforce a court order they said cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

The Saskatchewan government today introduced Bill 137, the Parents' Bill of Rights. If passed, the bill will enact the government's policy requiring parental consent to students under 16 using their preferred names and gender identities at school. docs.legassembly.sk.ca/legdocs/Bills/… The bill forces a cruel choice on students under the age of 16 who are not comfortable coming out to their parents about their gender identities: hide your gender identity at school or be forced to come out to your parents.

In 1947, the Saskatchewan government led by Premier Tommy Douglas introduced the Saskatchewan Bill of Rights Act, the first law of its kind in Canada protecting civil liberties and prohibiting discrimination. Tomorrow the government of Premier Moe will introduce Bill 137, the Parents Bill of Rights Act. Far from being inspired by the legacy of Tommy Douglas, its title and contents are taken straight from a wave of similar laws passed by Republicans in Congress and state legislatures.

Breaking: Justice Belobaba finds #bill5 breaches s.2(b) of the Charter, and has not been justified under s.1. Declared of no force and effect effective immediately. October 22nd election will proceed as scheduled but with 47 wards, not 25. "The enactment of provincial legislation radically changing the number and size of a city’s electoral districts in the middle of the city’s election is without parallel in Canadian history.... changing the rules in the middle of the game is profoundly unfair." (paras 6-7).

Bill 5, the so-called "Better Local Government Act, 2018" bit.ly/2vimodC, introduced in the Ontario legislature today, is an outrageous attack on democracy at the municipal level. By disrupting democratic institutions and electoral boundaries with no consultation in the middle of the 2018 election process for Toronto City Council, Bill 5 shows contempt for democracy as a fundamental principle of the Canadian constitution.

Since we’ve heard a lot of misinformed or misleading commentary about the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMEP) this week, it seems it might be helpful to clarify the situation regarding the constitutional division of legislative powers in relation to interprovincial pipelines. Interprovincial pipelines fall within federal legislative jurisdiction pursuant to s.92(10(a) of the Constitution Act, 1867 (transportation or communication “works and undertakings connecting the province with any other or others of the provinces”).
