When it comes to access for justice in Ontario, it appears the province’s Bill 161, the Smarter and Stronger Justice Act, will do neither.

While the province continues to grapple with the pandemic, predominantly in long term care homes, Bill 161 will support defendants being sued. There are several class action lawsuits currently underway against operators of some of these facilities for negligence. The pandemic has hit low income Canadians hard - and these are the people who use Legal Aid Ontario to access justice. The new language in the Act puts cost ahead of justice when it comes to Ontario’s most vulnerable.

On this edition of the Unpublished Cafe, we’ll find out more about the impact of the Smarter and Stronger Justice Act on legal aid as well as what it means for class action lawsuits.

Nas últimas semanas, o Ministério da Educação anunciou um congelamento de 30% da verba das universidades federais. Essa porcentagem é sobre os valores chamados "não discricionários", usados, por exemplo, para gastos com água e luz. Logo depois da repercussão, o titular da pasta Abraham Weintraub, disse que houve um equivoco e que o contingenciamento é de 3,5%. Mas quais são as consequências dessa medida, e o quanto ela pode interferir na gestão das universidades? Ouvimos especialistas em educação e profissionais que atuam na área, como o reitor da Universidade Federal do ABC, Dácio Mateus, o Diretor de Políticas educacionais do Todos Pela Educação, Olavo Nogueira e a repórter especial do Estadão, Renata Cafardo.

Edição desta segunda-feira, 18, analisa como será a campanha dos partidos políticos nas redes sociais. Isto porque, o Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) vai debater e votar as regras para as eleições de 2018. Um dos pontos mais nevrálgicos é como o TSE conseguirá fazer uma fiscalização eficiente em ferramentas como o facebook e o twitter. Para o professor da ESPM, e especialista em marketing digital, Marcelo Vitorino, a justiça não tem preparado para analisar o tema, e que a grande preocupação da Corte deveria ser com a chamada “Fake News”.

Edição do programa debate a proposta do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral em criar um conselho para a fiscalização do tempo de exposição de candidatos em rádio e televisão. Nesta quinta (09), uma audiência pública será realizada para destrinchar melhor o assunto. O cerne deste debate está em compreender qual será o papel deste órgão de controle: seria um moderador ou um censor oficial? Ouvimos aqui no programa o autor da proposta, o juiz federal Ali Mazloum, ouvidor do TSE. E também acionamos o correspondente do Estadão na França, Andrei Netto, para relatar como é a experiência francesa, que possui um Conselho que regula a distribuição igualitária da exposição dos candidatos em rádios e TVs.
