Breakfast With Appeal: The “Live, from Toronto...” edition

It’s broadcast live, it’s funny, it covers current events—and sometimes the cast members go off script. We’re talking about Breakfast With Appeal, of course—back for the summer edition of its seventh season. Join the wild and crazy BWA panel for their latest discussion on developments from the appellate courts.

Here is what we will cover at our June discussion:

  • I’ve got a fever, and the only cure is COVID restrictions: Hillier and the right to peaceful assembly during a pandemic.
  • Party on, Wayne—with spending limits: Working Families and Ontario’s limits on third-party political advertising.  
  • Quick hits include:
    • I’m Chevy Chase and you’re not: Democracy Watch v. Canada and managing conflicts of interest.
    • Connery, you’re on a time out: MacKinnon v. Canada and whether to prorogue is, in certain circumstances, to go rogue.
    • I was told there would be no math: SS&C v. Bank of NY Mellon, breach of contract, and spoliation of evidence.
    • Well, isn’t that special?: English Montreal School Board v. AG Quebec and the laicity of the state.
