So excited to announce my first article for thecourt.ca has been published!

My friends, I have seen the news today. I'm both relieved (for my Twitter mentions) and sad that our incredible and unusual relationship may be coming to an end. 😥 Thank you for making the last 17 months truly awesome! 🇺🇸♥️🇨🇦 cbc.ca/news/politics/…
Fun fact: my parents actually hang around all my movie sets. It’s not in my contract or anything, they just... kinda show up. And now with Live Translate on the #Pixel6, the entire set gets to hear them criticizing my acting. Thanks soo much @googlecanada. @madebygoogle #Ad
Ontario doesn't have a Premier. If Ontario actually had a Premier, that Premier would surely have been present in Ottawa, or perhaps said something important and calming. It's been almost 4 years since Ontario had a Premier who cared about Ontario and the people of Ontario.

I’m back writing for @thecourtdotca for my final year! If you need a break from reading the Toronto v Ontario decision today, check out my analysis of the SCC’s ruling in Aga earlier this year - lots of interesting questions re contract formation in the context of religious orgs.
In Aga, the SCC found that expelled church members could not turn to the courts for a remedy, as no underlying contract existed. @aliimrie assesses the implications of this decision. thecourt.ca/expulsion-from…
@RamnaSafeer @thecourtdotca @SCC_eng Working together has been such a highlight of this year, & I feel so lucky to have been able to read more of your thoughtful analysis!
After two years at @thecourtdotca, one of those with the delight of being Managing Editor with @aliimrie, I’m excited to share my last post, on the @SCC_eng’s forthcoming review of mandatory minimum sentences. TheCourt has taught me so much and I’ve had such a wonderful time!!
Amid the resurgence of calls for a radical shift in the Canadian criminal justice system, could the SCC’s forthcoming review of the mandatory minimum sentences regime in R v Hilbach be a sign of change? @RamnaSafeer discusses this and more. thecourt.ca/emr-v-hilbach-…
