    Are the courts becoming the new political battlegrounds?

    Gavin and Stephen dive into the concept of "lawfare"—the weaponization of the legal system for political gain.

    Focusing on the Ontario Place redevelopment case, they explore the delicate balance between democratic governance and the courts' role as a check on power.

    As they reflect on the nostalgic past of Ontario Place, the hosts tackle complex legal issues like standing in litigation, the public trust doctrine, and the broader implications of challenging government decisions in court.
