As promised, the crew at INTREPID is starting a few new “features” this season — the first is a sit-down with Philippe Lagasse, Crown scholar extraordinaire, to discuss the public law architecture of modern Canada (within which all national security law and practice — and all other exercises of governmental power — is entrenched). In this inaugural episode we march through several of the most important principles that continue to animate our system of law and government (rule of law, parliamentary supremacy, judicial independence, responsible government), situating them in history, and specifically UK history. Stephanie says it is really boring, so listen on!
