Question...does Canada have felonies & misdemeanors separate like the US? & if so, what would a taser charge be filed as?

Kind of - there's summary offences and indictable offenses. The summary ones would be the felonies and misdemeanors - the indictable is the more serious ones. Possession of a prohibited weapon is indictable here, and carries a max sentence of 10 years.

Yaniv would tow a C.T. scanner behind his scooter for sympathy points. That poor scooter has enough to do, mind.

Edit: "In her June 24th appearance before council, Yaniv arrived in a wheelchair and said that she had a brain tumour."

Oh, yeah, forgot about the tumour. Sorry, tumour!

Anyone else notice the comments were closed on the article? What reason could they possibly have for that... 🤔

UK papers often do that for articles about legal cases because the UK has draconian penalties for commenting on open court cases.

Unless it's a court case against someone the establishment want to smear, then those don't matter.

It's probably the same in Canada.

I hate to be pedantic, but I want to clarify this. Misdemeanors are similar to summary offences. Felonies to indictable offences. For most indictable offences, the accused may choose to be tried by judge and jury as opposed to judge alone for summary offences.

In Yaniv's case, I would guess that because the weapon is not a firearm and because he did not use said weapon to commit a crime he would only be charged with a summary offence. He would probably be banned from possessing weapons and maybe another condition or two but expecting any jail time is unrealistic.

Here is a screenshot of the applicable code:

Well in the UK it seems like there's an element of political bias going on. Case is inconvenient to the establishment? Reporting restriction will be issued, comments closed journos warned off. Case is convenient to the establishment? No reporting restriction, journalists will write articles saying how the accused is scum and deserves to be severely punished and shout questions like 'Are you getting what you deserve' as they enter court, comments will be open.

Reporting restrictions on sub judice cases seems reasonable, until you realise how much they can be exploited to keep some cases out of the media and have the media talk endlessly about others.

Thanks...I question exactly what he's charged with? The Cops came for the tasers (2) & found Bear spray & other items. He also mentioned the CP that "someone" just sent him...So is he charged with 1 taser? or multiple offenses?...In the states there will be a public court docket that will list all charges one is appearing before the judge for...Anything similar in Canada?
