Clayton Ruby to challenge Christian B.C. law school

A prominent criminal and civil rights lawyer in Toronto is looking to rekindle opposition to a proposed new law school at a Christian university in British Columbia that bars “sexual intimacy” among homosexuals.


Trinity Western University is a private liberal-arts school in Langley, B.C. It applied for accreditation to the Federation of Law Societies of Canada in the summer of 2012. Controversy arose within the legal and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities because all students, staff and faculty at the school must adhere to a covenant in which they promise not to lie, cheat or steal, and agree not to engage in “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman.”





























A footnote to this dictate points to a Biblical passage condemning homosexuality.


The covenant, lawyer Clayton Ruby told The Globe and Mail’s editorial board, essentially creates a “queer quota” in university law schools. Canadian universities have a total of 3,547 places for first-year law students. The proposed Trinity Western law school would add 60.


“If you’re queer, you can’t apply to the extra 60 seats,” Mr. Ruby said. “… We find that just to be anathema.”


Mr. Ruby acknowledged that the covenant affects all the university’s students, but said he is targeting the law school as a first step out of concern that lawyers would get their training in ethics and rights in an environment he thinks is contrary to Canadian laws.


The Federation of Law Societies of Canada has set up a special advisory committee to deal with the controversy. It has received more than 30 submissions from interested groups. The federation said that it will take applicable law into account, including the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.


However, as the decision draws nearer, Mr. Ruby is voicing concern that the issue the federation is examining – whether Trinity Western graduates would discriminate against the LGBT community in their careers – is the wrong question. He and three other lawyers were dissatisfied after meetings to make their case with the Ontario representative on the advisory committee and the treasurer of the Law Society of Upper Canada.


“We got really cold hostility. They don’t want a fuss over this. They would love it to just pass through and not be a fuss,” Mr. Ruby said. “The feel I got from meeting with these people is they really were not going to stick their necks out on this one and that it might very well go through.”


A spokesperson for the Federation of Law Societies of Canada was not available to comment.


A Trinity Western spokesperson said the university will not give interviews until after the decision, which could come before the end of August. But it has argued that students choose the university knowing they will be obliged to obey the covenant.


When the university proposed the law school last year, it wrote on its website: “Establishing a law school has been on the strategic plan for the university for many years and fits well with the university’s mission to develop godly leaders for the marketplaces of life.”


The university receives no public funds, except competitive research grants that faculty are awarded, but the proposed law school has encountered substantial opposition in the legal community, most notably from the Canadian Bar Association and the Council of Canadian Law Deans.


Bob Gallagher, a co-founder of Canadians for Equal Marriage in 2002, said news of the law school proposal is not well known in B.C.


“To us, it is really quite offensive that you would be able to bar us from being able to even apply to a limited number of seats to be able to practice law,” Mr. Gallagher said.


Both Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Ruby said they are not opposed to people practising their religion, but they do object when it excludes certain groups of people.

Tim Hortons Controversies

After Tim Hortons had agreed to provide 250 cups of free coffee for a "Marriage and Family Day" hosted by the National Organization for Marriage, the company removed its sponsorship after it was revealed that the NOM was an organization that campaigns against gay marriage.[101] The company stated the sponsorship was a violation of the company's policy not to sponsor events "representing religious groups, political affiliates or lobby groups."[101][102][103]

In 1995 the Toronto Star had a story reflecting on Tim Hortons "selling out" to Wendy's with "the spectacle of another great Canadian icon, one more priceless chocolate coconut cream-filled dutchie glazed cruller Timbit of our precious heritage, gone to Yankee burgerfat, (rounding) out the menus of the two chains by blending Tim Hortons morning meals and snacks with the strength enjoyed by Wendy's in lunches and dinners; burp; and nobody around to pass the Maalox?"[104]

Tim Hortons switch to a parbaking system has disappointed some die-hard customers, who note that this contradicts the chain's “always fresh” slogan. David Swick reported in the Halifax Daily News on 19 September 2003 Tim Hortons outlets in Atlantic Canada would no longer serve fresh donuts, but rather donuts that had been remotely factory-fried and then frozen and shipped.[105] A 2009 New York Timescontrasted the baked from scratch at stores approach of Krispy Kreme and some Dunkin' Donuts locations compared to the "flash frozen" and shipped Tim Hortons method. The NY Times article also noted an apparent scarcity of doughnut specialties such as the dutchie at newly opened Tim Hortons stores in New York City. Noting that "American visitors tend to flock to the sweets", including the "raisin-studded Dutchie", the Times found redemption among Canadians that the brand is once again a Canada based company while contrasting the way politicians in the U.S. "woo" soccer mom while in Canada they "go after Tim Hortons voters".[106]

In many communities, Tim Hortons paper cups are common examples of street trash

In September 2006, Tim Hortons courted controversy by mandating that employees were not to wear red as part of the Red Fridays campaign by families of the military to show support for Canadian troops. Within a few hours, Tim Hortons partially reversed its position and has allowed staff in Ontario stores to wear red ribbons or pins to show support for the wear red on Fridays campaign.[107]

Some have complained about the packaging litter that appears around Tim Hortons outlets. In 2005 Mark Dittrick, a spokesman for the Sierra Club's Atlantic Canada chapter, said that "The Tim Hortons cup is easily the No. 1 recognizable item of litter in the country."[108]

According to the blog Coffee and Conversation, "Tim Hortons does not sell organic coffee, does not sell Fair trade coffee, and does not disclose the source of its green beans".[109] As of 2007, Tim Hortons website said that they decided against using Fair Trade coffee.[110] Instead they created a program called theSustainable Coffee Program; the first program was launched in Guatemala and in 2006 they started programs in Colombia and Brazil[111] where they are "directly involved with coffee producing communities by providing direct financial assistance for technical training to improve the quantity and quality of coffee produced and assist farmers in getting their coffee to market at the best time and for the best price. Assistance is also provided on environmental management, in both proper farming techniques and reforestation projects, led by Tim Hortons." In addition, Tim Hortons supported schools and sponsored medical clinics in Guatemala. The annual report mentions this program but does not specify whether the beans they purchase are sourced from this program. The report only mentions "multiple suppliers of coffee".[112]

In 2013, a Tim Horton's in London, Ontario, citing company policy, refused to allow a boy who was suffering an asthma attack to call 911 for an ambulance, claiming that customers cannot use store phones for any purpose, even life and death emergencies. They also refused to call on his behalf.[113]

General Motors Canada breached its contract when it reduced the health care and life insurance benefits for some of its retired workers, an Ontario court ruled Wednesday.

General Motors Canada breached its contract when it reduced the health care and life insurance benefits for some of its retired workers, an Ontario court ruled Wednesday.


In a 27-page decision, Ontario Superior Justice Edward Belobaba said GM Canada was "not contractually entitled" to make changes to the benefits of salaried retirees.


In some cases, the long-time retirees saw their basic life insurance benefit cut from more than $100,000 to $20,000.


However, the court ruled the automaker was within its rights to reduce or eliminate some of the additional benefits enjoyed by its executive retirees.


The decision comes after a class action lawsuit was launched against GM Canada in 2010.


The case was on behalf of more than 3,297 retirees and their families including 67 executive retirees.

Pierre Poilievre, MP 07.16.2013

Pierre Poilievre, MP (/ˈpɑː.lə.vər/ paw-lə-vər by preference, though in general usage, the name is usually rendered pwah-lee-evr, closer to its French pronunciation; born June 3, 1979) is a Canadian politician and Minister of State (Democratic Reform)[1]. He is currently a member of the Canadian House of Commons representing the suburban Ottawa riding of Nepean-Carleton. First elected in 2004, Poilievre was re-elected in 2006 and 2008. Poilievre received the second highest vote total of any candidate in the 2008 election.

Background[edit]

Poilievre was born in Calgary, Alberta. He studied international relations at the University of Calgary,[2] following a period of study in commerce at the same institution, but does not hold a degree.[3] While there he made close friends and alliances with his lifelong political mentors Tom Flanagan, Ted Morton and Barry Cooper of the "Calgary School", and met Stephen Harper also.

When Poilievre was running for election in 2004, he stated that he was co-owner of a political research company called 3D Contact Inc.. According to the company profile, these 'contacts' were Stephen Harper, Ted Morton and Stockwell Day. His partner was Jonathan Denis, who later became Minister of Housing in the Alberta government.

Poilievre also has done policy work for Canadian Alliance MPs Stockwell Day and Jason Kenney, and prior to running for office himself; worked as a full-time assistant to Day. He also worked for Magna International, focusing on communications, and has done public relations work.

In 1999, writing as Pierre Marcel Poilievre, he contributed an essay, "Building Canada Through Freedom" to the book @Stake—"As Prime Minister, I Would...", a collection of essays from Magna International's "As Prime Minister" awards program. He did not win the competition. At the time, he was editorially described as being in the second year of a Commerce program at the University of Calgary. His self-description was as "a political junkie with a passion for public debating and a special interest in international relations".[4]
Politics[edit]

In 2004, Poilievre stood as Conservative candidate in the riding of Nepean—Carleton. He defeated Liberal cabinet minister David Pratt by almost 3,736 votes. In 2006, Poilievre was re-elected with 55% of the vote, beating Liberal candidate Michael Gaffney by 19,401 votes. He has been re-elected in 2008 and 2011 with similar pluralities. Since 2006, he has been appointed as Parliamentary Secretary to various ministers including John Baird, the President of the Treasury Board and to Primer Minister Stephen Harper.

On July 15 2013, Pierre Poilievre was appointed to Cabinet by Prime Minister Stephen Harper as Minister of state for democratic reform after a recent Cabinet shuffle.[5]
Federal Accountability Act[edit]

As Parliamentary Secretary to Treasury Board, Polievre redrafted Canada’s whistleblower protection laws.[6] and worked with Minister John Baird to pass the Federal Accountability Act through the Canadian House of Commons. The Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act was enacted to provide a process for public sector employees when disclosing abuses and wrongdoings within the federal government and protection of these employees from reprisals. The Federal Accountability Act received Royal Assent on December 12, 2006.[7] This act has been criticized for falling far short of the Conservative Party's pre-election promises [1] and effectively giving supervisors of whistleblowers continuing power over them, intimidating them from revealing all they know. [2]
Children's Fitness Tax Credit[edit]

Poilievre proposed a sports tax credit to then Opposition-leader Stephen Harper[citation needed]. The sports tax credit became a central plank in the Conservative Party's 2006 election platform.[8] The tax credit came into effect January 1, 2007. The tax credit allows parents to claim $500 per year for dependent children under the age of 16. Disabled children are eligible for the tax credit until the age of 18.[9]
Queensway Carleton Hospital[edit]

In the summer of 2006, Poilievre and Minister John Baird helped secure a $1 per year rent for the Queensway Carleton Hospital from the National Capital Commission. Before the brokered agreement, the QCH was paying the NCC $23,000 per year in rent. The lease of the hospital was to expire in 2013,[10] and the rent was set to increase substantially.[11]
Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge[edit]

Poilievre has actively advocated for the construction of the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge which is planned to span the Rideau river.[12] The eight-lane bridge will link Riverside South with Barrhaven[13] Poilievre secured one-third of the project's funding and acquired the neighbouring airport land needed to complete the Limebank Road expansion, tapping into funds already committed by former MP David Pratt for transportation projects in this riding.[14]

Construction began on July 27, 2010. The event was locally publicised, with politicians of all levels and parties involved attending the ground breaking...[15]
Charitable work[edit]

As a member of Parliament, Poilievre has been known for his involvement with a variety of charities. For his 30th birthday, Poilievre co-hosted an event with Ottawa Police Chief Vernon White to help raise funds for Harvest House Ministries and Project S.T.E.P.[16] Both charities do work within the greater Ottawa community to treat substance abuse and prevent addiction. Poilievre has also secured $1 million in funding for the city of Ottawa's drug treatment initiative.[17] In 2005, Poilievre helped raise $40,000 to help rebuild the Manotick legion after it was destroyed by fire in June of that year.[18]
On anti-Semitism[edit]

On February 13, 2009, Poilievre stood in the House of Commons to make a statement concerning incidents of alleged anti-Semitism at York University. Poilievre stated his belief that Canadians must address anti-Semitism on college and university campuses.


"Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government condemns the latest anti-Semitic outburst at York University. This week, chants of 'Zionism is racism' were heard, and one person was called a 'dirty Jew'. Sadly, incidents like these have become far too prevalent on college and university campuses across Canada. I am reminded of the violent left-wing mob that shouted anti-Semitic curses at a former Israeli prime minister and prevented him from speaking at Concordia University in 2002. I fear there is a rise among the extreme left of a new anti-Semitism. We see it in the instances that I mentioned. It lies below the surface of the public discourse waiting, waiting for us to let our guard down, waiting for the outrage to subside, waiting for the right time to flourish. We must confront it, fight it, and defeat it."[19]

Poilievre was sent by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to Geneva, Switzerland in April 2009 to attend the Conference Against Racism, Discrimination, and Persecution. This conference was held at the same time as the Durban Review Conference, which had been criticized by the Prime Minister as full of "anti-Semitic rhetoric". During the same trip, Poilievre traveled to Poland to participate in the International March of the Living Mission, a tour of Nazi concentration camps to commemorate the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.[20]
Union Dues and Union Transparency[edit]

Poilievre has been a vocal critic of the political activities of the Public Sector Alliance of Canada and has advocated on behalf of union members for their ability to opt-out of union dues. This came after the regional sectors of that union endorsed the separatist Parti Québécois in the 2011 Quebec provincial election. Poilievre remarked,


“I accept the results of the election,” said Poilievre. “But I can’t accept a union representing public servants working for the government of Canada which forcefully takes money out of the pockets of Canada’s public servants to support parties that want to break up the country. How can it be in the interests of public servants to support the breakup of Canada?”[21]

Poilievre has also supported Conservative MP Russ Hiebert's private members bill C-377, An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act (labour organizations). The legislation advocates for an increased schedule and scope of disclosure for every Canadian labour union.
Foul language in the Commons[edit]

In June 2006, Poilievre used foul language in a committee meeting,[22] and made unparliamentary gestures.[23][24] Poilievre later apologized for making gestures within the Commons;.[25]
Accusations of terrorism against Liberals[edit]

In February 2007, Poilievre suggested that there were members of Liberal caucus who wanted to legalize Hezbollah.[26]
"Tar Baby"[edit]

In May 2009 Poilievre was accused of having insensitively used the term "tar baby" in the House of Commons in reference to a policy of carbon taxation from which Poilievre suggested that Liberal leaderMichael Ignatieff would try to distance himself. Poilievre repeated the term in a prepared reply to a question from a member of his own party on taxation. A number of Opposition MPs demanded Poilievre make amends for the use of the term.[citation needed] Media coverage of the dispute noted that Poilievre was "the latest in a long line of politicians to take flak for uttering the words.”[27] Poilieve argued that the term was commonly used for "issues that stick to one."[28] Over the previous years, the term itself had been used by a number of prominent Canadian public figures to indicate a sticky situation.[27]
Deliberate security breach[edit]

In October 2010, Poilievre allegedly got impatient waiting at a Parliament Hill checkpoint and pressed a button to open the security gate and drove his car through without being identified and without having his vehicle inspected. He later apologized.[29] [30]
