2023 SCC 11: a Charter motion can only be summarily dismissed w/o a hearing where it is “manifestly frivolous” - a "very low bar" - & judge must assume facts alleged are true so long as applicant can “point towards” evidence that could support those facts canlii.org/en/ca/scc/doc/…

“A first-ever comprehensive Canadian registry of wrongful convictions shows 18 per cent of remedied cases were due to false guilty pleas and a third of all cases involved ‘imagined’ crimes that never happened.” @Jleerankin’s exclusive in @TorontoStar: thestar.com/news/gta/2023/…

I wish more people knew they have a right to legal advice when the Ministry starts asking questions about their family. Lawyers can be a huge help during the initial stages of an investigation.
