In its judgment on Friday, the province's top court rejected Ottawa's request to give it until Nov. 30 to implement a proper review after an inmate has been in segregation for five days.
Separately, the federal government is fighting in the Supreme Court of Canada for a stay of an Appeal Court ruling that imposed a hard cap of 15 straight days for inmates in solitary. The case began in 2015 when the civil liberties association challenged parts of the law that allows isolation to protect inmates or others in a penitentiary. The association argued such confinement could cause severe psychological harm and amounted to cruel and unusual punishment.
Ten months later, in October last year, the government said it needed more time to allow passage of Bill C-83 to address the issues Marrocco had found. In rejecting the request, the Appeal Court said Ottawa had still done nothing to address Marrocco's concerns. The government, the court noted, did not even start talking about how to remedy the constitutional defect until more than one year after Marrocco's decision.
What?!?! Have we gone insane? I seriously worry about the future...

Appeal of ruling suspends assault trial for ex-Afghanistan hostage Joshua BoyleThe assault trial of former Afghanistan hostage Joshua Boyle will be delayed for weeks or even months while the courts settle a dispute over whether his sexual history with his wife is admissible evidence. Hope he does time. He's an idiot and he's costing tax payers waaaaay too much money. No wonder his captors let him go. They prolly gave him a first class ticket to leave their country. A Trudeau friend going through the legal system has his trial suspended. This may be on the up and up, but when it comes to Trudeau's inner circle and justice, I can't help but be suspicious.

Appeal of ruling suspends assault trial for ex-Afghanistan hostage Joshua BoyleThe assault trial of former Afghanistan hostage Joshua Boyle will be delayed for weeks or even months while the courts settle a dispute over whether his sexual history with his wife is admissible evidence. Absolutely disguising, he wasn't a hostage. He voluntarily went on a pilgrimage to meet Jihadis. Why won't you ask his wife about her time as the hostage, Joshua was complicit in abusing her and the children. Please stop referring to him as an ex hostage. It makes him sound like a victim and he is no victim !! *Alleged hostage. You use 'alleged' even when you are talking about things that was recorded, proven, prosecuted. You should use it re this creature too. No one proved he was held as a hostage.
