The RCAF received its first two CF35As yesterday at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona. The future of air and space power is built on more than equipment alone.

📌 Citing fake or hallucinated AI cases in court filings constitutes an abuse of process and is tantamount to making a false statement to the Court. 📜 Ahmed v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2026 FC 1202, <canlii.ca/t/knfd5>.

We should also remember the bravery of RCMP officers Curtis Barrett, Richard Rozon, Danny Daigle and Martin Fraser, who walked into gunfire down the Hall of Honour and helped take down the gunman who killed Cpl. Cirillo.
On this day in 2014, Corporal Nathan Cirillo was killed at the National War Memorial. The shooter ran to the Parliament Buildings where he was killed. Sgt-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, his security team and the RCMP earned the Star of Courage and Medal of Bravery. 📸 Guillaume Haché

Not the first time this year! In Hunt v Canada, 2026 FCA 88, Stratas JA (for a unanimous panel) said the SCC's Wilson decision sat at odds with the SCC’s own “text as anchor” cases, leading to instability that lurks in the background of the UNDRIPA dispute.
Some initial thoughts on the CNL v Kebaowek First Nation decision on effects of federal UNDRIP legislation on duty to consult and who has to implement UNDRIP (And some implications re Gitxaala. And the FCA calling the SCC erroneous!): lawforbreakfast.substack.com…

It's terrible that @mcgillu is making its students attend class with a rapist-murderer who also paralyzed a girl by beating her. It's unbelievable that he'd be welcomed as a law student, of all places. What a failure of judgment by @LawMcGill cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/…

Rape shield law: Unanimous Supreme Court Canada ruled trial judge should not have prevented accused from questioning complainant about commercial aspects of her previous [voluntary] sex work. S276 CCC does not categorically apply to sexual services and human trafficking offences.
