My litmus test on whether someone is a serious critic of judicial power is the Court's medical aid in dying decision. If you see THAT as "judicial activism", then you just don't like ANY judicial role to protect rights. 1/n

Remember the Ontario Science Center? Where generations of kids got the science and knowledge bug? Decommissioned by that vermin of a premier who aims to sell the land to developer buds:
What a waste, what a loss.

Handing over all authority to “Minister” & Cabinet of a prov govt only too ready to serve its developer allies/donors, while ignoring all the recommendations by Indigenous communities to hold the Govt to account, suggests we are in for even greater period of
corruption
