Our court is not laid out like SCOTUS and we don't have multi-state circuits like you do.

In an extremely basic summary, a provincial supreme court's ruling can be taken to the (same province's) court of appeal - the BCCA, or the Court of Appeal of British Columbia in this case. It is possible to appeal a ruling from the BCCA to the Supreme Court of Canada, but the Canadian Supreme Court is not obliged to actually take it up unless it's a nationwide concern or an actual area of unsettled law; they can otherwise just say 'no, go away, the provincial Court of Appeal ruling stands'. Whether someone is allowed to petition for an appeal is usually decided by a small panel of Supreme Court judges (I think it is three?) but is guaranteed in some cases. In this case I would assume they would take it up since it's an area of unsettled law, but it would go to the BCCA first.

The other thing the Supreme Court of Canada can do is answer a question from the federal Cabinet about whether a thing is legal, if they're asked.

As far as the concept of certiorari goes, this sounds pretty close to what I remember of the U.S. system. The structuring of the court may be different, but the grounds on which it chooses cases seems pretty similar.

I'm using the biased viewpoint of a US-Canada transplant here but I'm gonna say, despite different trappings, the US and Canada are among the two most similar nations in the world in all respects and that includes the court system. (please ignore healthcare)

But of course explaining how different Canada is from the US is the national sport.

Yeah, we have totally discreet parallel court systems for states and federal (with some convergence at SCOTUS), and afaik the government doesn't get to ask the courts about stuff before implementation. For whatever reason we just have extra lawyers at each level of government to look at proposed policies and laws and come up with disingenuous, self-serving arguments to justify policies and support what they want to do when it does get to the courts.

While there's no official cause of the fire yet, most people are pointing towards it being tied to building renovations, and is almost certainly a terrible accident.

Francis is the first Jesuit Pope. Jack Chick Protestantism regards Jesuits as the Pope's secret ninja assassins, and that seems to have filtered through to American Conservative Catholicism that considers the current Pope a communist and therefore Jesuits must want to burn cathedrals (bad) and not burn Muslims (good).

The ignorant left needs to realize they create monsters with what they say.

By endlessly calling us NAZI’s, Fascist and ignorant evil deplorables they have removed any reason for conservatives to act better. If they are not going to respect our principles, and deal with our ideas but resort to name calling, hatred and lies then we have no choice but to lash out verbally. What, cursing at them is going to make them like us less? They already want to put us in reeducation camps.

The snowflakes and red-flakes need to exhibit some decorum and tolerance if they want it returned. Apologize for the uncalled for insults. Grovel.

They are irrational. They need to realize that the opposite of irrational is not rationality (Because the irrational are operating on a faulty internal logic) but force. If the left does not start exhibiting tolerance and reason our only remaining choice is force. They may think they want a conflict but do they really?

They’ve pushed it to the edge.

I was very disappointed with the hosts in the townhall.

But, I guess they were trying not to be too aggressive, since they still have hopes of getting the DNC to allow FOX to host at least one of the democratic party’s democratic debates. It was all about compromising their dignity and journalistic credentials in the hope of getting the DNC to reconsider.

In any case, Bernie was allowed to deflect and take the offensive and not really answer any tough questions, even with as few as there were.

But...the saga continues. but this time it will take down Democrat, buffoons, freaks & failures Jerrold Nadler & Adam Schiff along with the entire Democrat Party and its faithful twisted bias Media.

Yeah, this praticaly screams "once upon a time".
I have no doubt said freeper met a younger person, possibly at a HD, and maybe, perhaps the cashier didn't serve the young guy. But it's more than likely it's because said freeper tried pushing his way into a line because he was there a hair too late and lacks any decency, got in a shoving match and said young person let him go because "whatever, go away crazy old man", so freeper left as younger guy got to the cashier and they both asked each other wtf the old guy's problem was.

Oh I won't comment on his stuff myself, I like to stay under the radar so he doesn't suspect that I'm the person who keeps reporting him and getting him probated from FB for his racist posts. His fellow chuds are suggesting southern Indiana or Dallas. I just find it funny that his wife (a Democrat) is the only breadwinner in the family but he seems to think that he has the final say in whether or not they move, and where they'll go.

Does it only count for the state level? Because Dallas is a blue square in a sea of red. (As major cities tend to be.)

Yeah but a dude like this is never going to move to downtown Dallas, he'd be in the crimson red suburbs if anything.

Freep-adjacent, but one of the Chuds I went to college with just posted again on Facebook that he's upset with the taxes in Connecticut and wants to move. He has 2 autistic kids and is a stay-at-home dad while his wife works as a nurse. He says he wants to move to, "A red state. Someplace that has good jobs, good schools, and good services for autism."

Sooo he wants to move somewhere that has low taxes and also the things that taxes pay for.

Whereabouts in CT?

And what exactly is he complaining about? We actually try to provide reasonable social services. I work in them.

He's in Trumbull, and I think he's okay with the services he gets - his beef is with the amount he pays in taxes every year. He's been radicalized hard by the right and believes that every blue politician in CT is on the take, and the "unreasonably high" taxes on everything are simply to line their pockets. Just like the freepers, he likes to ignore the correlation between taxes and the services he gets for them as long as the Dems are in power.

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
Watch him move to Pensacola or Jacksonville or some other chudland here in FL where there's no income tax so the entire state budget is built on sales tax from Disney tourists
