BREAKING: Jim Karahalios wins court case against the Conservative Party

This morning Justice Perell, on Jim Karahalios’ lawsuit against the Conservative Party of Canada, ruled in favour of Karahalios and invalidated his disqualification from the Conservative leadership race. Justice Parell wrote, “I declare that the DRAC Decision Of March 18, 2020, to disqualify Mr. Karahalios’ as a candidate for the Conservative Party leadership was invalid, and I set aside the [Dispute Resolution Appeals Committee] (DRAC) Decision.” Karahalios announced some of the details in a campaign email and on Twitter shortly after the decision was handed down in the morning. He reaffirmed his position that the CPC should not be deciding who should and should not be in the leadership race and that membership should determine who they want as a leader through a vote.

Long police response times makes firearms necessary for protection in urban areas

As the argument goes, you don’t need a firearm if you live in a city because police response times are much speedier. For years I believed this was a solid argument, but it fails to hold true during a widespread public crisis.
