#Toronto Police lied on the stand about the death of one of their own to incriminate a man not guilty of a crime.
“A hero to me is the man who was terrorized by police, beaten by police, charged with murder by police, held for bail, attacked by Mayor Tory and Premier #DougFord for being released, besieged by an unsympathetic press and prosecuted on no theory who still thanks #Canada for his freedom.” — John Struthers, criminal lawyer

Edward Keenan: At the Umar Zameer trial, motive was the central question. But in the end it was tragedy, not crime

Justice demands considering the facts, the motivations, the truth. That's what trials are for, and in this trial, a jury determined that this was tragedy, not crime. It is no

The real power behind the rise of fascism in America started with a corrupt Supreme Court decision over 100 years ago and continues to this day. It’s time to drive a stake into the heart of this beast…

Secret document shows Conservatives cooked up business case to justify their Science Centre move: NDP

Moncton reverses menorah decision, says it acted 'too quickly' | CBC News
