A letter to my MLA. Bill 9 is wrong. Hiding behind the notwithstanding clause is unconscionable.
Relying on the notwithstanding clause to pass this offensive bill is unacceptable.
Not a fan of my provincial government.

As a lawyer, I'll tell you that there's nobody who knows this law better than Ryan and Brian. Sure looks like murder or war crime to me. But as a human, I'll tell you that the Rubio statement -- we could have stopped the boat but we blew it up to send a message -- is sickening and depraved.
1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat.
Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable.
