Quebec man who refused breathalyzer test has acquittal upheld by Canada’s top court | Globalnews.caThe Supreme Court of Canada says the demand was invalid because police did not have in their possession an approved screening device to test for alcohol. This is the type of legal nonsense that will destroy democracy. Autocracy must gain momentum to keep the populace in check. Too many lawyers, liberal thinking that a person has greater rights then the safety of society is like a cancer within democracy. Good. The police have to much power.

Opinion: Canadians are the biggest losers in the Supreme Court’s latest health care decisionOnly in Canada can the top court give Quebeckers special privileges when it comes to their health and deny those same rights to B.C. The 'privilege' here is the ability to spend one's own money on needed health services the government fails or refuses to provide, rather than being forced by law to do without this needed health care. Some 'privilege'. It's hard to imagine a more basic economic right. suekings35 True, but many in the media in this country, including your paper, have done little to challenge the thinking around healthcare. The Globe is by and large a 'safe space' for readers that prefers to coddle with politically correct nonsense rather than to challenge. Imagine suggesting that spending my own $$ to procure the essential health care I'm effectively denied by the state is a 'privilege' this is liberal_party ndp SCC_CSC totalitarianism only Orwell could envision
