Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Volume 296

Big in the news this week was the shooting of a security guard outside of Drake’s Toronto mansion. On CBC radio this morning a guest was explaining the complex relationship between these rappers.

Kyla in The CBA National: Judges need to ensure language rights are respected

The Supreme Court of Canada has affirmed that the right to a trial in one’s official language of choice is of such importance that a judge’s failure to ask an accused what language they want their trial conducted in at first instance is enough of an error of law that it is reviewable on appeal, as it taints the court proceeding.
