Ontario lawyers must say they promote equality, or else after law society rejects exemption for conscientious objectors

An Ottawa lawyer compared the controversial statement of principles to Bart Simpson writing 'I will not be a bad boy again' on the blackboard — an empty gesture

Lawyers and paralegals in Ontario will be required to adopt and abide by a controversial statement of principles in order to remain licensed by the Law Society of Upper Canada.

After a heated and protracted debate at the law society’s governing convocation, this motion failed at midday Friday, meaning the rule is valid and will be enforced.

The official tally was not immediately available, but the vote was not overwhelmingly against. Many expressed support for the exemption for conscientious objectors, proposed by prominent Toronto lawyer Joe Groia

Even if someone means it, they should not be forced to say it, he argued. If they do not mean it, the statement is hollow and false. Groia said the law society should “find other and better ways to advance those goals” of equality and diversity.

One of the most striking defences of Groia’s motion came from bencher Anne Vespry, an Ottawa lawyer who compared the statement to Bart Simpson writing “I will not be a bad boy again” on the blackboard — an empty gesture.

She argued that, while it is possible some objectors to the statement are trying to conceal their own prejudice, many supporters are “wrapping themselves in the flag of equality and diversity” as a way to bully others into submission. She said she used to think disagreement was always the product of inadequate evidence, misunderstanding, poor application of rules, wilful blindness, or malice. But she has come to realize that conscience and faith can lead people of good will to vastly different perspectives that are not captured by simple rules.

She described herself as brown, biologicaly female, gender butch, queer, with a learning disability, mild physical disabilities depending on what the situation requires, and mild to moderate post traumatic stress disorder. She also used to work for Glad Day Bookshop, which sells literature aimed at a queer audience and has been at the centre of many legal fights over obscenity laws and free expression.


“I believe in free speech. I believe that controlling speech is a bad thing. When someone else controls our dialogue, people suffer,” she said. “Government censorship, government control of language killed people. People died because they did not get access to information.”

“Ambiguity is antithetical to clarity,” she said, and the statement of principles is “classically ambiguous language,” which can be interpreted “to mean kind of nothing at all.”

Before the vote, she said the failure of the motion would mean she will “look for a new career.”

Hey, this is a forum... not Facebook, you could start a bromance thread about Jordan Peterson or keep all your gender stuff in another, and/or the same instead of spamming the forum with new threads about the same topic over and over again.

Accelerating culture shift wtf it mean?



soo As part of this strategy you are required to create and abide by an individual Statement of Principles that acknowledges your obligation to promote equality, diversity and inclusion generally, and in your behaviour towards colleagues, employees, clients and the public.

I dont trust anything with Equality and diversity in it.
it always end up to be fraud....

but what Accelerating culture shift mean ?

https://www.lsuc.on.ca/uploadedFiles/Summary-of-Recommendations.pdf

Required to PROMOTE "diversity" to the public.
2) require a licensee representative of each legal workplace of at least 10 licensees in Ontario to develop, implement and maintain a human rights/diversity policy for their legal workplace addressing at the very least fair recruitment, retention and advancement, which will be available to members of the professions and the public upon request;
They must implement a "diversity" policy and keep records of its implementation, having it available to anyone (even the public) upon request.
3) require a licensee representative of each legal workplace of at least 10 licensees in Ontario to complete, every two years, an equality, diversity and inclusion self-assessment for their legal workplace, to be provided to the Law Society; and


They will impose "diversity" on law firms that are not "diverse" enough, based on the racial, ethnic, and gender data that is colleceted by mandate. so they enforce racist and sexist against canadien.

Sweden most be a role model for ontario.

maybe it deserve it own thread

actually they're both forums for discussion: derp. and on both you as the user have the control to ignore or not things you see. interesting that you'd take the time to chastise me over posting on the subject of the post.

I guess you're trying to compel my the type of speech I have or maybe you think (like a deluded marxist) that jordan peterson is akin to hitler (ala wilfrid prof's) ? :dunno:
