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.

Welcome to “Cases That Should Have Gone to the Supreme Court of Canada, But Didn’t!”
In this episode, Kyla Lee from Acumen Law Corporation examines a case involving mandatory drug and alcohol testing in the workplace, specifically within the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission—a federal government organization. The Commission required both pre-employment and random drug and alcohol testing for all employees, regardless of suspicion or individualized concern. When challenged, the courts upheld the policy.

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.
