New from me: a court has released video of what a judge called a “deeply disturbing” arrest by Edmonton police. It shows an officer kicking a man who peacefully surrendered in the head. Media had to fight to make the video public. edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/cou…

Calling into question the legitimatacy of the Courts by mischaracterizing the proper functioning of the legal system as "judicial overreach" is dangerous rhetoric. There are three branches of government for a reason. If you disagree with the decision Mr. Premier, file an appeal.

From child custody to criminal cases, Albertans continue to suffer due to the provincial government's decade-long underfunded Legal Aid program. Join us in sending a message to @shandro that Albertans deserve equal access to justice! Sign the petition: bit.ly/3zNN3B5
Due to the failure of the UCP government, our legal aid system has collapsed. So have most relationships with industry professionals. It is embarrassing.

Content warning: Police brutality and violence. A video has surfaced online of an Edmonton police officer violently pushing an unsuspecting woman to the ground.
Legal Aid budget today is $20 million less than what it was in 2018-19. John Panusa should be speaking out against the underfunding of Legal Aid and advocating for fair and reasonable Financial Eligibility Guidelines and Legal Aid Tariffs instead. #ableg #accesstojustice

“Legal Aid Alberta has been so underfunded and choked of resources that the province risks sliding into a model of frontier justice, where the innocent are convicted, and only the rich and powerful can defend themselves in court.” @mspratt canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion/t…
“The exodus of lawyers from the defence bar has already cost the justice system decades of skill, expertise, and knowledge — and the Alberta government is gleefully compounding this crisis.” /2
