Fowler from AHS is now arguing that qualified speech - forcing men to violate their conscience to promote government opinions - is not irreparable harm. (You'd have to have no deeply held values to make that case with a straight face)
oooooooh snap. Justice Strekaf just asked Fowler what sort of compelled speech would constitute irreparable harm, if this case does not? And we got 20 seconds of scared silence from the AHS lawyer. Now he's struggling to explain himself.
oh boy. It was just clarified that AHS did not ask for the compelled speech sanction, nor the travel ban. AHS wanted the Pawlowskis/Scott to comply with current health orders as their sanctions. Plus fines and costs. Judge Germain concocted the insane sanctions on his own. WOW
Nicol points out that tho AHS has not asked for the insane sanctions that Germain handed down, here AHS is, with two lawyers in court arguing that sanctions they did not ask for should stay in place
HUGE WIN!! Judge has stayed the compelled speech order and travel bans for Pawlowskis but is keeping the fines and community service in place. Partial stay of enforcement pending the appeal of the sanctions. And judge wants the appeal expedited.

That's an expedited date, 201 days later. More than half a year.
Fuck Canada, the Day of the Rake can't come soon enough.
