@parlcharlie.bsky.social how are messages transmitted between the two houses of Canadian Parliament given that they’re sitting in different buildings, so you can’t just carry them between the chambers (is that normal Canadian practice anyway?)

pretty sure the citation im looking for in a legal history essay was destroyed by the nazis during the blitz or eaten by the public record office rats at some point

You could actually see the safety cars lights come on exactly as the message comes up on screen. I wonder if either the driver has super fast reactions (as he should) or there’s some kind of automated process for the SC lights/messages/activation

Is that so different from the scenario you presented, wherein an MP may complain about delays, and that complaint may translate to political pressure? If Hewart CJ’s dictum is anything to go by, I would be led to conclude that even the appearance of improper interference cannot be accepted

notadev @notnotadev.bsky.social · Nov 23

I’d imagine it potentially could be. I once read of a Canadian minister being forced to resign for asking a judge when a decision may be delivered. Although the action of an MP may seem innocuous, an unintended result could be that the judge is pressured - politically - to deliver

This is incorrect. Clause 6(1) provides that the Bill extends to Scotland, that’s why the Scottish Parliament had to grant legislative consent for the Bill (see minutes of Scot Parl dated 31 October 2024). The Bill very clearly applies to Scotland.

I’ll admit it isn’t a perfect match, but trying to recreate a photo you didn’t take is a lot harder than it seems… perhaps I should try again if Surrey gets some snow
