A man who spent 10 years in prison for the 1984 abduction and death of 13-year-old Candace Derksen is suing the province and Winnipeg police for wrongful conviction and imprisonment.

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, Mark Grant, 55, accuses police of conducting a negligent investigation and Manitoba justice officials of malicious prosecution. Grant is suing for $8.5 million in damages.

He needs a new lawyer.  Claim refugee status & Trudeau will give him $10.5 million.

A Winnipeg man has lost a court challenge to keep a Star Trek-inspired vanity licence plate Manitoba Public Insurance had deemed offensive to Indigenous people. In a 35-page decision that quoted from Star Trek, Marshall McLuhan and the online Urban Dictionary, Queen’s Bench Justice Sheldon Lanchberry ruled MPI was within its rights when it ordered Nicholas Troller to turn in a previously approved personalized licence plate (PLP) that read: "ASIMIL8."

The NDN CAR can get back on the road in Winnipeg.

Manitoba Public Insurance is returning Bruce Spence's personalized licence plates following an out-of-court settlement, Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms lawyer James Kitchen told the Free Press Thursday.

The Cree man had his plates — issued by MPI in 2012 — revoked by MPI earlier this year; the Crown corporation said NDN was identified it a “phrase or innuendo that may be considered offensive.”

Anyone been watching this? I drive by this home every damn day on my way back from work. And it annoys the hell out of me that a small group of people where able to dictate what the owners could or could not do, AFTER they got a permit to do the work.

Of course no one in the group protesting this is willing to cough up the money to fix it or even purchase it themselves. And now tax payers are going to be paying for this in the courts. I've heard a few reasons, main one being a multiple family place would devalue the area...unlike a completely empty building that's slowly deteriorating....that's what people want!!

Today, October 31, 2019 - is the 502nd anniversary of Martin Luther posting his 95 theses on the castle door at Wittenberg.  

Whether you are religious or not, his actions changed the world profoundly.  It was the beginning of the end of the corrupt connection between church and state, and probably paved the way for a freer society.  It is a pillar of Western Civilization.

When he published his thoughts on freedom ‘Von der freiheit eines Christen Menschen’ he got a little more than he bargained for - it led to the 1525 Peasants’ Revolt.

Absolutely vile 

 

What is worse is that he will get special treatment in jail because of how terrible the crime he committed.   

It would be only justice if they didn't put him in protected areas and let him hang around the rest of the convicts.   With that kind of crime he wouldn't last a week before getting stabbed in the neck himself.
