In the constitutional arrangements passed on to us by the British and recognized by the preamble to the Constitution Act, 1867, the provincial superior courts are the foundation of the rule of law itself.

I’m wearing this walking boot (about as big as a ski boot) that doesn’t let me bend my foot past 90 deg. and moving very… awkwardly. So I need to get used to walking … Read More
a friend and classmate told me today that a few of them have started seeing a therapist.
