LEAF celebrates victory for women’s reproductive rights at the Ontario Court of Appeal

The Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) celebrates the release of the Ontario Court of Appeal’s ruling in Christian Medical and Dental Society of Canada et al. v. College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO), which delivers a victory for women’s reproductive rights.

The Court’s ruling is an important contribution to the advancement of women’s and girls’ equality. It recognizes that enhancing access to reproductive health services is a valid and constitutional objective. It affirms that women’s right to autonomy over their deeply personal, individual health and life choices cannot be superseded by the personal views of health professionals. It confirms the importance of access to reproductive health services for women’s health and wellbeing, and signals that the Court will protect initiatives that safeguard women’s access to these services.

WASHINGTON  – President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a full pardon for former media mogul Conrad Black, who was convicted in 2007 of fraud and obstruction of justice and spent 3-1/2 years in prison, the White House said.

Black, 74, a Canadian-born British citizen, once ran an international newspaper empire that included the Chicago Sun-Times, Britain’s Daily Telegraph and the Jerusalem Post.

In a  statement from the White House , (rumoured to have been ghost written by Conrad Moffat Black, Baron Black of Crossharbour, KCSG)  said Black in addition to harbouring great admiration for the invention of the wheel, has made tremendous contributions to business, as well as to political and historical thought and Lord Black’s case has attracted broad support from many high-profile individuals who have vigorously vouched for his exceptional character. So there!

A bunch of law abiding whiners complained about different strokes for different folks or something like that.

They were quickly reminded that the rich will always be with us!

Presidential

Please note: John Bolton left the administration as National Security since this item for first posted May 15,2019 and before these recent events with Iran.

President Trump has been criticized for many things however one that surely verges on being  unAmerican is his delay and failure to start his own military war…one that he can stamp with his own brand (or is it brand with his own stamp) in the grand tradition that many (all?) American presidents of the past have done.

Is there anything more Presidential one might ask?

Perhaps the 45th US President and accomplices in his administration could use some of that old American get er’ done, know how to make a big war attitude before the election in 2020…. Iran perhaps?

Although it takes many people besides the President to succeed with an operation of this seriousness ; key players playing on the war drums and eager to serve would come from National Security Advisor John The Bomb Bolton, Secretary of State Mike Pompous Prick Pompeo and Vice President Mike Pious Pasty Pense who could assemble without difficulty, Bible passages to explain the rational for going to war and sooth those families of the fallen and the wounded bodies and souls upon their return.

This is just speculation of course based on history!

At the end of the visit

Atelier Deluxe

Patron Pam, Court Painter’s new advocate and patron came through and helped establish a deluxe atelier in the tony part of Inglewood for our modest painter friend. As you may remember his former studio was in the slummy district of Inglewood .

Court Painter insisted Patron Pam pose for a series of striking portraits to jazz up the digs!

Court Painter is proud to show off his new studio pad while tickling the ivories.

 

 

 

A Visitor

Pamela Anderson visits Court Painter in his studio, says he ‘has an air of innocence about him.’

Actress Pamela Anderson visited Court Painter  in his Inglewood studio on Tuesday and said she loved him, he needed saving and his sales need a boost.

The actress says Court Painter“does not deserve to be in a rathole studio” after visiting the master painter in his rathole studio.

Court Painter is in Inglewood’s slum district serving as the Great Dominions preeminent painter of political and celebrity pulchritude. He is also reported to be on an extradition warrant to the United States for allegedly hacking into the Museum of Modern Art computer.

Hillary Clinton: Court Painter must ‘answer for what he has done’

The former Baywatch actress, who has defended Court Painter before, told reporters Tuesday that he is an innocent among art world beasts of prey.

“Let me repeat myself, he does not deserve to be in a rathole studio. He has never committed a naughty act. He is an innocent among the mercantile madness which is the Calgary art world brought on by that capitalist Jason Kenney (who by the way helped launch Diefenbaker’s political career),” Anderson said expansively.

“It was great to see him, but this is just misrule of the natural law of the jungle in operation. It is absolute shock that he has not been able to get out of his studio even to water his horse,” she said.

“It is going to be a long fight,” Anderson told reporters in the alley outside the nightmarish studio. “He deserves our financial support, he needs our financial support.”

She went on, “He deserves our moral support because he has sacrificed so much to bring the truth out in each painting and we deserve this truth even if he does stretch the painterly truth on occasion .That is all I can say. I am sorry, I feel sick, I feel nauseous”, as she moved away from the studio to get some fresh air. ‘We are here to have this health menace and eyesore demolished, and move Court Painter to a real atelier with north light and open beams ; that is what this is about.”

“He is a good man, he is an incredible person. I love him, I can’t imagine what he has been going through,” Anderson said, who was wearing what appeared to be a blanket with text that made references to Court Painter’s commission prices.

She posted a handwritten note on his studio door protesting Court Painter’s innocence in the face of unfair competition by his artistic nemesis CC(name available upon request): “Court Painter is the world’s most innocent looking man among thieves.”

Court Painter insisted he is a celebrity portraitist that can do no wrong. He is fighting extradition to the U.S.

He also said he wouldn’t surrender himself for extradition for hacking a peek into the cyber secrets of the Museum of Modern Art. “From what I’ve seen, my work measures up pretty damn good!”

Cameo

After resisting appearing in cameos on a low rated TV show, Court Painter thought: ‘what the hell’ and consented on the condition that his name not be included in the credits.

One of the stars of this TV flop persuaded Court Painter to do her portraits in spite of the poor light.
