> [@Muffin](#): > > True story. A Robin’s franchise owned by a husband and wife. Husband woken up by wife repeatedly stabbing him in the head with a knife. Their son pulls her off, and the husband lives. They go through a very messy separation (I represented him), but still remain owners of the franchise, often working side by side now that the wife is out of prison. > > Now that’s true dedication for the job. How many Timmies franchisees are willing to take it in the head like this? They should work that into their advertising somehow. 😉 ---

I just received an email from a lawyer friend of mine letting us know that one of his cases is going before Canada’s Supreme Court, possibly as early as this coming spring. According to my friend, the matter “deals with broad principles of how much power tribunals have to interpret the law that applies to them.” Very cool! 🙂 ---

It’s always nice to see a [homophobic neo-nazi get canned](http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/calgary-transit-driver-jesse-rau-fired-over-pride-bus-controversy-1.3225224). Cheer to Calgary Transit for not allowing itself to be a platform for this guy. Why do so many Christians hate? ---
