U of O Watch mission, in the words of Foucault...

"One knows … that the university and in a general way, all teaching systems, which appear simply to disseminate knowledge, are made to maintain a certain social class in power; and to exclude the instruments of power of another social class. … It seems to me that the real political task in a society such as ours is to criticise the workings of institutions, which appear to be both neutral and independent; to criticise and attack them in such a manner that the political violence which has always exercised itself obscurely through them will be unmasked, so that one can fight against them." -- Foucault, debating Chomsky, 1971.

U of O Watch mission, in the words of Socrates...

"An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all." -- Socrates

Sorry to hear this. Will there be any explanation?

Denis Rancourt said...

@Steve:

No the SCC virtually never gives reasons for denying leave to appeal. Welcome to "access to justice".

It was a stitch up. Doesnt the fact that your application took just a few weeks to decide whereas the a erage is 5 to 6 months tell you that just like the issue you were appealing, they had prejudged this also.
