The sheriff’s office in Eaton County is being asked to decide between enforcing new state laws or enforcing new county resolutions.

“Because mainly, I believe in the second amendment of the constitution, that allows us to take and…
As more Canadians enter common-law relationships, experts are encouraging young couples to educate themselves on the implications of taxes.“There are credits that you may be used to get, if you’re a single person,” said Stefanie Ricchio, a Toronto-based CPA.
“There is a little element of surprise.”
In 2021, more than one in five Canadian couples were common-law, meaning they lived together in an official, legal union without being legally married.
That’s a 447 per cent growth in common-law couples since 40 years earlier, according to Statistics Canada, though married couples still make up the bulk of Canadian couples.

It’s only been in effect since October, yet Jessica McCormick believes Newfoundland and Labrador’s pay equity legislation needs to be revamped.
The leader of the Newfoundland and Labrador Labor Federation says the bill the government passed was better than nothing but fell way short of a comprehensive set of laws to improve the lives of women in the workforce.

Unlawful Police Power, Going To Jail NSW And Over-Policing
“Over-policing” of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is an issue that was highlighted by the Redfern Legal Center head of police accountability and government law, Samantha Lee. Ms Lee cited tougher bail laws, more police powers and the Suspect Targeting Management Plan (STMP), that’s unique to NSW, as reasons for the inequity.
Lawyer and advocate Samantha Lee identified that NSW police were unlawfully strip searching Australians. It was for this reason that the RLC began the ‘Safe & Sound’ campaign, in order to stop the high number of police strip…
Democrats support the indictment of former President Donald Trump whether it has legal standing or not because convicting him is a life-or-death struggle for their political survival, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said.
