The University of Victoria is celebrating the construction of its National Center for Indigenous Laws (NCIL).
The building is the first of its kind in Canada and has received funding from the provincial and federal governments, as well as the Law Foundation of BC
The NCIL is scheduled to open by fall 2024. Besides being a space to learn, the facility will help Indigenous laws re-emerge.

“The space itself is a…
With all of the recent bombshell Fox News revelations in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation litigation, there’s a subtle but important point that’s worth emphasizing: rebroadcasting.
That is, as alleged by Dominion, the network re-aired segments pushing false 2020 election claims while knowing those claims were false.
Media law expert Lee Levine told Nicolle on the show Wednesday:One of the most important things that stuck out to me about the new filing, which I had not realized before, was that some of these programs were rebroadcast in their entirety so that between the time of the original broadcast and…

LONDON — Iran’s infamous hijab police, known as the “morality police,” are again patrolling the streets, Iranian authorities said.
The controversial measure was announced Sunday along with a series of other severe actions that were being taken against women just 10 months after the death of Mahsa Amini in police custody, an event that sparked bloody nationwide protests.
“The police … will take legal action against those who, unfortunately, continue to break the dressing norms regardless of the consequences of doing so,” said Saeed Montazer al-Mahdi, spokesman for the Law Enforcement Force of the Islamic Republic.Iranian morality policeman stands…
The SPCA is calling on the province to pass a law protecting the health and welfare of farm animals.
The industry currently regulates itself with codes of practice, but the group says that’s not good enough.

taipei, taiwan —
International business consultancies operating in China that provide economic data to potential investors appear to be headed into a period of greater scrutiny as of July 1, when a revised espionage law expanded the list of activities Beijing considers spying.
The consultancies assist companies and individuals seeking profit from the world’s second-largest economy by doing deep background reports before money flows into China. And while China’s economic policymakers advocated in March for more foreign investment to restore an economy stalled by Beijing’s draconian COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, that position runs counter to President Xi Jinping’s national security concerns.…
