My name on a Supreme Court judgment! (updated)
Well, not really: I’m the “et al” they refer to, apparently.
Now, who’s going to buy me a celebratory drink? It’s almost the end of Lent, and I can swill ale again!
Woot!
UPDATE: Ottawa Citizen story here.
Congrats! So when do you see the “with costs” money?
CBC has paid the shot, so they get it all – and it’s substantial. Hopefully they’ll put it back in programming!
Hehe I bet that pig of a PM wishes he stacked the Supreme court now lol
You and I are drinking Irish in your honour the next time you’re in town. Congrats, W. Keep fighting that good fight.
In the immortal words of Lord Brown, “I agree, and have nothing to add.”
Warren, why did the trial court take so long to rule on what seems like a pretty threshold issue?
David: Wasn’t just that. We argued limitations, to be sure, but also the merits. We won on the law on all fronts, at C of A: http://warrenkinsella.com/2011/10/we-won-at-the-court-of-appeal/
And also at trial: http://warrenkinsella.com/oldsite/index.php?entry=entry090720-135244
That’s the end of the road, methinks. About time.
If it helps, I started celebrating last night, clearly in anticipation of the victory. I’m toasting you with Tylenol.
Congrats “et al.” 😀
Ah, I see – the press account made it sound a bit like it had been decided on a motion directed at the pleadings. Thanks. And congrats!
The Ottawa Citizen story: Calling Paul Frohm a “political activist” is like calling Caligula a “Roman politician”. Gawker had a nice insight into this (though they misspelled his name Fromm) here http://gawker.com/5898493/my-kasual-kountry-weekend-with-the-knights-of-the-ku-klux-klan – scary and sad at the same time.
Congratulations and good job, Warren!
Harry
I potentially may have confused two people (not sure) – please check before posting Warren – I don’t want to compare anyone to Paul Fromm injudiciously.
Et al… Should we just call you “Al”?
Don’t agree with you about just about everything, but I do believe in your right to speak, so congratulations, a good result.
WK, if I were in your neck of the woods, I’d be the first to buy you a Black Horse Ale if they still make it. In my younger day, Black Horse was my favourite, and you wanna talk about a smoooooooooth-tasting ale, that was it.
Congratulations to you and to the CBC!!! I’d love to have been the fly on the wall when Harper heard this news.
*snicker* 16 Years??? Wow. Just….wow.
Congratulations! Your courage is inspirational.
Congratulations on the Supreme Court victory, but this must be said..
“Free at last, free at last,” said New Brunswick MP John Williamson, paraphrasing the U.S. civil-rights leader, who was killed 44 years ago this week by a bullet from a long gun.
“Free at last, free at last” on the demise of the long gun registry?!
Seriously?! Are you people fucking nuts?!
Tories: Canada’s ‘free at last, free at last’ from gun registry; Court: ‘not so fast’

Many congrats Mr. Kinsella…
Paul Frohm? Isn’t he the guy who promotes Adolph Hipster?
