Le système judiciaire canadien n’est pas à l’abri des dérapages que l’on observe au sud de la frontière, et pour éviter de tomber dans le piège, les élus doivent contrer la désinformation au lieu de l’alimenter, comme on l’a vu à l’Assemblée nationale cette année dans l’affaire « personne ayant un vagin », a prévenu lundi le juge en chef Richard Wagner.

In the past few years, the Harper government has aggressively pursued its own agenda without due regard for the Canadian Constitution, the rights of the provinces and the rights of the most vulnerable Canadians. It has pushed for Senate reform, tougher criminal laws, and even subtly attempted to shift the balance of the Supreme Court of Canada by appointing judges with a conservative bent. Stephen Harper may have hoped that his five appointments to the Supreme Court would influence the outcome of the cases before it, but a recent string of well‑deserved thrashings in court have demonstrated that the Supreme Court is truly an independent, non‑partisan body, able to act as a check on the government's (inappropriate) actions.

We Canadians are often teased for saying "oot and aboot" instead of "out and about". I've never thought that's how it sounds. I recognize that we do have a rather distinct Canadian accent but I hear us saying it as "owt and abowt", kind of drawing out that vowel sound. Finally I'm proven sort of right!! This is a fascinating article about the ancient origins of the Canadian pronunciation of certain words. And no, I'm not talking about our habit of putting "eh" at the end of sentences. And the end of questions. And... well just about anything. "Eh" at the end of a sentence can be a question such as "Cold enough for ya, eh?". It can be a note of emphasis such as "That's some good beer eh" (does not require an answer as beer is always good to a Canadian). It can be a statement "I don't know how that moose got here in my yard, eh." That's just the tip of the "eh" iceberg but for now I really want my readers to read What's Going On with the Way Canadians Say ‘About'? While you're at it, if you haven't seen this video yet, you really should. It's called Canadian Please
