Well, I stand corrected... I thought she had lost in the 2011 election.... thanks for the correction...
To answer your original question "Do you know if this scenario would be possible ?" It all depends if a politician will stand for what he or she believes in. Since the courts already have told the government to change the laws and had given them a year to do so, the Liberal government would just have to amend the current law so that it reflected what the courts stated. It would take a politician with guts to seriously change the laws for legalization without interference of lobby groups against prostitution. There definitely would be a free vote on this, and who knows if it would survive that. (unless there is a majority)
No, Trudeau will try and a keep the antiprostitution laws, you'll see, he'll only get rid of them if the Supreme Court gives him absolutely no choice.
Trudeau publicly stated several times over the last year he regards prostitution as a form of violence against women, so no way he legalizes it.
I must be missing your joke. Why would anyone be dashing to get arrested and go through what she had to? Certainly not the person who faced a jail sentence, and had to find and pay all those lawyers, to at last have a Court say the law she was arrested under should never have been made in the first place. She ran the Bondage Bungalow but that didn't make her a wacko masochist.
Harper knew that his term in office was up, despite his desperate bid to play the niquab card and the so called anti barbaric law. The Ford Nation was his last gasp effort to grasp at slender straws to prop up his campaign. Canadians were not prepared to take any more of Harper's fake achievements.
LOL! Go ahead and write to your MP, see what good that will do. Mr. Trudeau has a majority and like any majority PM he will do whatever strikes his fancy. He's on record not being for and it is a low priority and a fringe issue. I'd be surprised if he wanted to expand political capital on this issue. In any case, he'll be too busy in the coming months figuring out how to make our lives better while shrinking our incomes at the same time.
Rob Ford has absolutely nothing to do with how sharp Justin is
If we were discussing your intelligence (or lack of) it would hardly be appropriate to bring up your banjo picking nitwit 2nd cousin now would it?
Always lovely to chat with you and your sunny personality.
With your cheery and friendly personality I'm sure you'll do really well in politics, when you decide to take over the libertarian party.
I am sure that La Rue would have convinced all the Canadian voters to be faithful to Harper and give him a fourth term in office, if they all logged on to this board to take his advice based on his arguments. The only problem is that Harper and his Conns cascaded the message that everyone on this board are pieces of dirt. So they stayed away. Ahhhh poor La Rue.
We can only hope that Larue has time to pull out his massive investments so he, like all the 1%, can run and hide in a country with lower taxes, safe from the communist hordes. I hear he's off to the libertarian, tax free land of Somalia.
will BC refer c-36 to their court of appeal or supreme Court? The premier supported the vancouver police when they said they will only go after coercion
Since the Feds have only to un-make any law they dislike (a surely must belive in the laws they themselves passed), it's very unusual for them to ask for a Supreme Court ruling on an existing law, and even more unlikely that the very busy Court would do any sort of chapter and verse review of the entire statute in the abstract. The Government can refer/ask but the Supremes decide for themselves what they'll spend time on, so it's almost always a single specific question — like the recent one of what sort of practice qualifies one as being a specifically Quebec lawyer.
As for the process itself , here's Wikipedia:
As GoWest noted The Ontario Premier — whose role is limited to funding police that enforce this federal law — similarly did not refer C36 to the Ontario Court of Appeal, probably because there was no specific constitutional question regarding enforcement at hand and the likelihood that the Court would do what Harper's legal team hadn't and read the entire Act seeking possible rights issues was miniscule, or smaller.
