Nope. Haven't back pedaled in the least. I stand 100% behind everything I've posted except for one thing. Your comparison wasn't idiotic. It was far worse.

Nope. Haven't back pedaled in the least. I stand 100% behind everything I've posted except for one thing. Your comparison wasn't idiotic. It was far worse.
....and who would be studied enough in the rule of law and it's fine points to qualify?
Man, you sound pretty bitter towards the whole profession. Have you been abused
or mishandled by someone in the legal field? Do you know any Lawyers on a
personal level to realize that they're real people too?
I'll tell you, our Lawyer might be sort'a outside the mold, so maybe it's my view that's
squewed and not yours, but for the few I know.....they're not bad guys at all, and do a
tough job that I wouldn't want regardless of the pay....besides, I don't have the liver to
practice law.
This is our legal council. Some details have been changed to protect his identity.
An honest guy who you'd want in your corner representing you if the shyted hits
the fan and your life & livelihood depends on the outcome of a court decision.
It went with the theme of the weekend (& I drink Bud Lime). You should see
what he drives. (P.S. It's not the SmartCar)
... thank you for asking. and the answer is YES i have been abused by the legal profession and so has every single member of my immediate family, but not by just someone in the field, by a whole frickin' army of them ...
... my family has been robbed, defrauded, framed, falsely accused, picked on, stalked, harassed, etc. (i could go on) by hordes of filthy canadian lawyers. and i even have evidence that proves that the suspicious death of my father was a murder-for-money assassination organized by a squad of vancouver lawyers in conjunction with the supreme court of british columbia and the bc government ...
... so yeah, i have been abused by people who work in the legal profession. lawyers are scum. you got any other stupid questions?
... you appear to be confused, this thread isn't about psychiatrists. it's about canadian lawyers illegally exempting themselves from federal money laundering laws ...
Actually, if you read the whole article, you'd know they did it legally. Citing a valid conflict with our Charter rights.
And you should really read the fine print. Some people are cowards and need to install escape routes into their posts. Lest they be cornered by their own words.
... nope, not legal at all. it's against the law for judges to strike down laws. the responsibility of the court is to uphold and ENFORCE laws, not take them off the books ...
Myself I think this is some sort of conspiracy crap. Just from what I read I find this unbelievable. If it is fact I am sure many news orgs would be quite interested
Nope. I don't have any other stupid questions. It's a shame you didn't find a Lawyer
with integrity to represent your cause, for you and your family. I can understand your
frustration, as many in my family have had similiar experiences with our local law
enforcement. We aren't criminals, but have been.....on the wrong end of things on a
consistent basis, due to no fault of our own. I get where you're coming from.
I wish you'd have meet and been able to retain some of the guys we know, but such
is life and the cards we're dealt.
... well said! excellent post! thanks for your comment ...
... the court DOES have too much power. and since the court has so much power the court, more than any other institution, should be subject to basic principles of democracy which it currently is not ...
... the only problem i see with electing officials of the justice system as you suggested is that very few people would be interested in turning out to vote for the corrupt stinkers. who in their right mind would go out of their way to vote so a slimy lawyer can get a well-paying government post as a judge or a prosecutor?
... and as far as the lawyers striking down the money laundering legislation is concerned, it's a horrendous conflict of interest for the legal profession to be attempting to overturn laws that apply only to them ...
... thank you again for your comment ...
If you like mob rule, why didn't you just come out and say so?
Thankfully we have a Charter of rights that protects the rest of us from people like you.
That law did not solely apply to lawyers. And that law infringed upon our (As in you and me) individual rights.
... get your facts straight. the supreme court of british columbia struck down money laundering legislation that applied only to lawyers and their clients ...
... and not only did the law not infringe on anyone's rights, it actually protected all of us from criminal misconduct by corrupt lawyers ...
No, they made lawyers exempt from a law that applied to all financial institutions...
From your own article.
It infringes on Solicitor client privilege. When it forces Lawyers to record names of clients, and provide them to the gov't.
And Lawyers already have a system in place to prevent your second claim...
Again, from your own article.
... you're simply stating the position of the bar. i and others have a different point of view from the bar ...
Umm, no. I pointed out facts.
1, The Law was not solely applied to lawyers.
2, The Law applies to all financial institutions.
3, Lawyers have a system in place already, that prevents them from being used, or participating in money laundering.
The courts decision, is the only thing that may be open for interpretation.
Since you have a professed bias, an obvious lack of objectivity and seriously limited grasp of the legal process and facts of the matter.
I'll side with the court on this one.
Unless you can come up with a better argument than "cuz I say so".
