At issue was the jurisdiction of the regulator, the Ontario Racing Commission, to convene a hearing to consider the propriety of a decision by Sudbury Downs race track, to excluded 10 OHHA members from participating in races. The commission denied OHHA’s request for a hearing to consider the propriety of that exclusion, stating that it did not have jurisdiction. It decided that the private property rights of Sudbury Downs gave it an absolute right to exclude the OHHA members (and anyone else it wished to exclude) from its property. When OHHA’s application for judicial review was dismissed, it appealed with leave to the Court of Appeal. The respondents were the commission and Sudbury Downs; the Ontario Jockey Club (owner of Woodbine and Mohawk racetracks) intervened to oppose the appeal. The court allowed the appeal, and concluded that the commission has jurisdiction, and ordered it to convene a hearing to consider the propriety of Sudbury Downs’s exclusion of the … [Read more...] about Court of Appeal Grants Appeal to OHHA

Lawyers continue to raise concerns that street checks by police disproportionately impact people from racialized communities, a few months before the scheduled completion of a report about provincial regulations on police checks. These regulations under Ontario’s Police Services Act came into force in January 2017. Court of Appeal Justice Michael H. Tulloch was appointed to conduct an independent review of the regulations. His report, along with recommendations to the government, is due in January, a website devoted to the review says. The regulations describe how an officer can collect identifying information about a person or ask for such information. The regulations say a police officer can only ask for this information if the officer is inquiring into possible or already-committed offences, inquiring into suspicious activities to detect offences or gathering information for intelligence purposes. This practice — commonly known as “street checks” or … [Read more...] about Regulations can’t prevent police racial profiling

From beaver pelts to the oilsands, Canada’s economy has benefited from a blessed treasure trove of resources.Why else would anyone slog through dense bush while fighting mosquitoes, navigate huge waterways, and pound through granite but for those rich rewards?Toronto’s financial district owes much to mining, forestry, and energy as a quick glance at the Toronto Stock Exchange attests. Look west and the British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan economies are booming while Ontario’s moribund manufacturing sector struggles with a petro dollar that puts mainstays like the auto makers on alert as labour costs rise.It wasn’t always like this, of course.

But today, it languishes as a have-not province in Confederation while hamstrung by deficits and a debt that will hover like a thundercloud over successive governments for generations.What Ontario needs today is money. It needs … [Read more...] about Queen’s Park: Ontario’s economic future out of its hands as Ring of Fire languishes

The process of justice of justice never sleeps.Oh, it may doze off now and then or get ensnarled in the weight of its own petard, but it surely keeps grinding along. There isn’t a single stakeholder in the Ontario justice system, however, who doesn’t recognize there are serious issues.Whether it’s the criminal system where R. v. Jordan has triggered mass panic, the family courts where unrepresented litigants clog the dockets or even the commercial and estates rolls where the lineup of litigants is long and winding, the courts are jammed and delay is inherent.Even Attorney General Yasir Naqvi recognizes it. He’s been out making the rounds to spread the Ontario Liberal government message of “fairness” in all things as a prelude to the 42nd general election to be held on or before June 7, 2018, and earlier this month, he told the Oakville Chamber of Commerce that more technology holds the greatest promise in achieving efficiency.“We really have … [Read more...] about Inside Queen’s Park: Dreams of digital justice process still elusive
