Many legal challenges against Canadian Covid restrictions and mandates have fallen flat, with judges embracing deference to government focusing more on the “reasonable limits” to Charter freedoms rather than the freedoms themselves. Beyond this, professional misconduct processes are weaponized against dissident thinkers, longstanding legal norms have been upended, and public confidence in the law impugned. Law professor and C2C Journal contributor Bruce Pardy says there’s been a “descent of Canada’s legal system into Alice-in-Wonderland surrealism, a state that poses dangers to virtually every Canadian and to the future of the rule of law itself.”
He joins True North’s Andrew Lawton to talk about his latest essay, Legal Canons and Social Fables: The Law in Canada Has Never Been Perfect but Now it is Losing its Way, and whether Canadian law can be saved.
