A Sign of Liberties with a Fresh Coat of Paint: Kosoian v Société de transport de Montréal
As citizens, being able to partake in a society requires a shared responsibility. That responsibility is divvied up not only between oneself and other citizens, but also it varies to standards, degrees and expectations when it comes to how rules and law as of that shared responsibility, that shared context, manifest in everyday life.
Reviewing Fleming v Ontario
Canada is a free and democratic society. Every Canadian is afforded protection of a number of rights and freedoms under the Canadian Charter. However, the administration of criminal justice often infringes upon these rights, particularly the right to liberty. Through both statute and common law, police are afforded the power to enforce order through lawful detention of individuals to promote the safety of Canadian society.
