Jamie Sarkonak: Judge who praised B.C. drug dealers in court cannot be trusted on the bench (opens the original)
Read excerpt
B.C.’s courts have brought us the Charter right to smoke drugs near playgrounds, the Charter right to erect a homeless encampment, and the Aboriginal right to claim title to someone else’s land. It’s a hard list to top, but on Tuesday, Justice Catherine Murray managed it by inventing a Charter right to deal drugs. Murray had been responsible for judging the case of vigilante dealers Jeremy Kalicum and Eris Nyx, who created an addicts’ rights group called the “Drug Users Liberation Front” (DULF).
Jamie Sarkonak: Commons report recommends DEI by stealth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This month, the House of Commons committee on science and research recommended a ban on diversity quotas in federal research programs, along with all references to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the granting process. But you should probably hold your cheers: that very same committee has also suggested an even tighter embrace of DEI. The paradoxical recommendations conclude a study on federal research granting criteria that has been underway for two-ish years. While they leave much to b
Jamie Sarkonak: Mark Carney's 'one project, one year' mirage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The newly tabled revamp to the federal infrastructure approvals process — Bill C-39 — comes with the tagline, “One project, one decision, in one year.” But this seems to be more a suggestion than a rule.

Read excerpt
On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney stood before the European Parliament and said that he welcomed the “ambition” to bring Canada in as an “associate member.” He framed it as a sovereignty-reinforcing move, but seeing how many strings and risks come with EU membership — and how little he’s told the public about his plan — it sounds like a slim prospect. Because “associate member” isn’t a real type of EU membership, we’re stuck gleaning what it entails from Carney’s speech. “Seamless digital
Jamie Sarkonak: Steven Galloway's accuser won't even argue that she told the truth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The rape allegations that destroyed professor Steven Galloway’s career a decade ago were never actually tested. Indeed, the woman who made them isn’t planning to defend their accuracy in a defamation trial scheduled to start next month. If it sounds like you’ve heard about this case before, you probably have. Galloway, an author and member of the University of British Columbia creative writing program, had an affair with a grad student older than he was, starting in 2011. Both of them were marri
