Frum Forum on LSS
Tim Mak, reporter with the online Frum Forum, covers the Liberty Summer Seminar today here.
Here’s an excerpt:
But at least in Canada the Jaworskis will have a line of recourse. They recently filed a notice of constitutional question with the judge presiding over their case – challenging that the charge under the bylaw in question conflicted with the right to assemble peacefully, which is one of Canada’s ‘fundamental freedoms’ enshrined in the constitution.
The Canadian Constitution Foundation, the Canadian equivalent of the United States’ Institute for Justice, has this week decided to take up the case and defend the Jaworskis pro bono, which comes as a relief to the legions of supporters behind the Liberty Summer Seminar.
On February 25, 2011, the Jaworskis will attend a court hearing that will set a trial date. The entire ordeal has no doubt been a burden the Jaworskis have had to bear, but with any luck they will be spared a fine for essentially holding a large family BBQ on their sprawling property in rural Ontario.
