This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Mascot Mayhem and the Battles They Lost

Welcome to another edition of Weird and Wacky Wednesdays. Mascots are supposed to be fun. They entertain crowds, pose for photos, and sell merchandise. But sometimes they end up in the middle of courtroom drama. This week we look at three cases where a mascot’s copyright or trademark owner tried to take down a competitor and failed.

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: When Drinks Go Wrong

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays, I am looking at three stories from the world of alcohol that show just how important care and accuracy are in brewing and distilling. As some of you know, I am part owner of a distillery, so these issues are never far from my mind. They remind me how quickly something can go wrong, and how the consequences can extend far beyond the brewery or distillery itself.

Episode 413: Extended Bar Hours, Police Missteps, and the Sidewalk Lexus

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Strange Doings About The RCMP

Often strange things happen in and around police detachments. The public hears about them because someone got charged or sued, or because it can’t be hidden and then makes it into the news.

Much takes place that we learn of due to our daily contacts with the police and we keep it to ourselves. We do this not because of confidentiality or legal privilege. It’s rare that we have a solicitor-client relationship with the police. Usually we keep these secrets out of fairness, to preserve relationships or because nothing good would come from sharing. That’s probably true in many walks of life, but in our practise area, the stories are often particularly interesting and weird and sometimes wacky. Here are three that did come to light.

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Special lawyers Edition

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays, we look at lawyers doing things that are just plain stupid—and none of it is connected to their actual lawyering. These aren’t courtroom blunders or legal missteps, but moments of astonishingly bad judgment in everyday life. From bizarre behaviour at work events to outrageous public outbursts and outright fraud, these stories remind us that holding a law degree doesn’t guarantee common sense.

Episode 411: Speed, Safety & the Law: Vancouver’s Limits and the Hinkson Report

This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko cover Vancouver’s push for 30 km/h zones, the Hinkson Report’s public event safety recommendations, and a wild high-speed chase in Saskatoon involving a taxi, a grocery store robbery, and a stolen cube van.

They begin with Vancouver’s proposed 30 km/h speed limit on side streets, part of the Vision Zero push. Paul questions its practicality and lack of enforcement, while Kyla explains why speed isn’t the only factor in pedestrian safety—driver behavior is key.

Next, they examine the Hinkson Report, released in response to the Lapu-Lapu Day tragedy. The report offers immediate recommendations to protect public events from vehicle attacks. Kyla and Paul weigh in on the logistics, funding, and feasibility of the proposals.

Finally, the Ridiculous Driver of the Week is a Saskatoon man who stole a taxi, robbed a store, and fled in a cube van. The police chase ended safely, but the case is a cautionary tale about impaired decisions and their legal fallout.
