So, episode 100 - a new record. But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast - right? You should.

The Docket is 100 episodes old! Thank-you so much for all your support over the years.

On this last episode of the year we take a look at the SNC-Lavalin guilty plea. It seems that the politicians and their media surrogates still don’t get what this whole scandal was all about. Good think we are here to break down the whole debacle!

And then we move on to the double Ds - Doug Ford and Doug Downey - who were all smiles this week when they introduced their signature justice legislation, the Smarter and Stronger Justice Act, billing it as a fix for Ontario's complex and outdated justice system. They said it would improve legal aid services and enhance access to justice, but it turns out that the bill does neither of these things and in the end it is really just another way to break Ontario’s legal aid system.

And that’s a wrap on 2019. Emilie and I hope everyone has a great holiday season. 2020 looks like it is going to be just as busy and hectic as 2019 was - and we will be here to talk about it all.
