This week, I start with an analysis of the Federal Court's affirmation of the new Federal electoral boundaries for Cape Breton's two seats. The First Nation of Eskasoni is switching ridings, and challenged the change in court after the Boundaries Commission rejected the appeal of MP Jaime Battiste. The judge hearing the case is an indigenous law expert, and rejected every single point raised by Eskasoni, and in doing so stated that it appeared that Eskasoni was trying to gerrymander the riding - a serious allegation to make, but one that is justified based on what was presented. Mr. Battiste announced that he will be running in the new urban riding. There has not yet been a comment from MP Mike Kelloway, who currently represents the rural riding, but who was rumoured to be looking to run in Sydney-Glace Bay.

This week, the Nova Scotia Supreme Court declared that Chéticamp should have it's own provincial riding. The decision from Justice Pierre Muise is critical of the 2019 Dodds Report, and relies on the Supreme Court of Canada's interpretation of voting rights under section 3 of the Charter.

With the provincial election campaign underway, I examined the party platforms and publications to see what is being presented in the justice sphere. The answer is very little, despite the efforts made to give good advice through the Desmond Inquiry and Mass Casualty Commission.

I am back after a hiatus with a new Rodgers Brief. This week, the long awaited Ruck Report on racism in the NS Barristers Society was released, with some interesting comments on the Lyle Howe prosecution.

I am going to be taking a summer break from recording the Rodgers Brief. Legislatures are not sitting, and Courts tend to slow down some over the summer. Also, I am focusing my time on seeking the federal Conservative nomination in the newly configured riding of Cape Breton-Canso-Antigonish. In this video, I describe the riding, and discuss my connections to each region of this vast geographical area. I also talk about what makes CBCA unique, and what gives us a leadership responsibility within Canada.

This week, I review the controversy around the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians report on foreign interference, and the allegation that some MP's are witting participants in such interference.

This week I focus on two NS Court of Appeal decisions. One relates to the delay in Judge Rickola Brinton's decision in the sexual interference and exploitation trial of Brandon McNeil (who now goes by the name Brynn Milner), and the plentiful blame that can be laid at the feet of Judge Brinton, as well as former Provincial Court Chief Judge Pam Williams.

This week, I start with a look down south to the charges against world #1 golfer, Scott Scheffler, before the second round of the PGA Championship. I also examine the cross examination of former personal lawyer to Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, in the trial against the former President.

This week, I review two major reports, the Nova Scotia Mass Casualty Commission Progress Monitoring Committee report and the Foreign Interference Commission interim report.

This week, I cover the appointment of the new NS Justice Minister and SiRT Director, the Toronto Police Chief's Comments in the Zameer acquittal, former President Trump's claim to criminal immunity at the US Supreme Court, and how Harvey Weinstein's successful appeal would have played out in Canada.
