Episode 142: NO JAIL for Ontario man who repeatedly sexually abused sister from age 12

In Episode 142, we tell you about a victory for free speech after a court rules Ontario can't ban billboards just because they criticize politicians and public health officials. Plus, a horrific Ontario incest case shows why the reasonable hypotheticals doctrine isn't so reasonable after all.

Stories and cases discussed in this week's episode:

• R. v. D.C. #2, 2026 ONSC 3029 (CanLii)
• Katerberg v. Ontario (Ministry of Transportation), 2026 ONSC 3991 (CanLII)
• Judge says it would be 'cruel and unusual' to send Ontario man who sexually assaulted 12-year-old sister to jail (National Post)
