New from me: Ezra Levant’s attacks on an honourable Crown prosecutor go far beyond legitimate criticism. We should scrutinize the justice system. But smears and dog whistles undermine the good-faith debates we badly need: canadianlawyermag.com/news/o…

Ezra Levant’s smears of a Crown counsel are unacceptable

I often disagree with Moiz Karimjee, but I am obligated to defend him against unwarranted attacks

I criticized attacks on a Crown prosecutor. Somehow, it became a story about my mother-in-law, a political conspiracy, and harassing phone calls. Good-faith debate requires facts, context, and a little intellectual honesty. michaelspratt.com/opinion/my…

My mother-in-law is the Governor General - Michael Spratt

After I criticized Ezra Levant, Blacklock’s and Rebel News made my mother-in-law, Governor General Louise Arbour, the story. Here’s what happened.

Update: Apparently, criticizing someone now requires a family tree and a conspiracy theory. Public criticism matters. So do facts and context. michaelspratt.com/opinion/my…

New From Me: Ontario’s cash bail law will be found unconstitutional: but that won’t mean that Doug Ford and Doug Downey's plan failed. It will mean it worked exactly as intended: canadianlawyermag.com/news/o…

Ontario's cash bail law is unconstitutional – and Ford knows it

The Keeping Criminals Behind Bars Act uses real human suffering to manufacture a political grievance

From me: Some advice for @PierrePoilievre, ff someone tells you Mexico is safer than Vancouver, it doesn’t mean it is. And if you want to be a leader, you better start acting like one. canadianlawyermag.com/news/o…

Poilievre, your doomsday depiction of Canadian crime is wearing thin

If someone tells you Mexico is safer than Vancouver, it doesn’t mean it is

DA Jack McCoy is a perfect liberal avatar. Watch enough episodes and you see both the crocodile tears about justice and a complete contempt for the rights of any defendant or even any witness. Still can't stop watching. It's infuriating.
