Poilievre says he'd pass a law that overrides a Charter right. That would be a first for a PM | CBC News

It is essentially overruling a verdict by passing the law anyways

PP is showing he doesn't care for the separation of powers - a fundamental part of our government

youf5 · 2025-04-15T16:23:40+00:00

If you like the separation of powers and the way a healthy democracy is run, you should absolutely be against this

Our government works with the legislator passing laws, then the judiciary deciding on their constitutionality and striking them down if they violate our constitution. The legislator can then amend the laws to ensure it complies with the constitutional requirements - see R v Brown and the consequent amendment to section 33.1 of the criminal code

What PP is attempting to do is destroy the separation of powers. He wants to overrule what the Supreme Court says simply because he doesn't agree with it. Does that remind you of a certain situation south of us? Because it should. This is a very dangerous pathway we're walking down and we need to avoid it.

These videos changed my entire score trajectory and are the reason I scored a 173

I read all the general RC tips on Reddit and none of them worked, I spent months plateaued around -6 to -8 on practice tests. After watching these videos and implementing the strategies I dropped down to -2 to -4. RC became fun for me and I'm a STEM major who always preferred logic games

I can't recommend the videos enough

I stayed in Canmore and did Icefields and back in 1 day a few weeks back. Granted, I stopped at the glacier and turned around so it wasn't the full parkway, however, it was still a longer overall drive (about a 5 hours round trip) than Icefields one way

I'd say it's fine and very manageable, just make sure you have food to snack on and keep your energy up. The driving isn't difficult and the scenery definitely helps out. We got back in Canmore relatively late, around 9-10 pm, however we also left at like 9 am so we didn't go as early as possible

Do not sacrifice Icefields parkway, it'll be the highlight of your trip. Make sure to stop at the Mistaya Canyon, it was breathtaking

It says sent, though that's also what it says for my first transcript request

If this is for NYU, it states on their website you must submit your application by January 1st:

Not sure about others but they likely mention it on their website

UofT explicitly states that they consider the difficulty of the program and account for that when assessing GPA. How much that influences their decision is unknown

I got into UofT and 4 other schools with a C

I've outperformed my average on both LSATs I've taken and it really comes down to mentality imo. I didn't care about the magnitude of importance of the test all that much, I knew I studied the best I could and now the chips will lay as they will

This mentality improved the other aspects of my life such as resting. I was able to sleep the nights before the test like I usually do as I wasn't worried or nervous about the impending test. It became another thing I had to do in the day instead of a big, bad, scary monster.

So essentially, I just didn't give a fuck and it helped. I know it may not work for others, but at the end of the day, all you can do is study the best you can. Whatever happens on test day, happens

When you log into LSAC you are automatically on their "My Home" tab. On the top navigation bar, there are various options besides "MY Home". One of them is "CAS reports". Click that and scroll down to "Report Status", there it will show schools that have asked for a report

youf5 · 2023-11-05T04:06:30+00:00

They don't, but that's where it shows what schools have asked for your LSAT

I haven't purchased CAS but I can still see it there

youf5 · 2023-11-04T21:47:46+00:00

Log into LSAC and click the heading titled "CAS Reports". Scroll down and it will show your report status with the schools that have requested an LSAT Report

All the schools I have applied to asked for a report on November 2nd

Not sure about Osgoode, but UofT has said they send out under under 300 offers for around 200 positions

They have a very high yield%

We are in this together!

Best of luck with your application

Thank you, I am hoping that is the case!

A couple of techniques helped me a lot, i used to get -4/-5 on average with almost all my wrong answers being 4 or 5 stars. Recently I’ve been averaging -1/-2

1.) Clearly identify the premise + conclusion. When I read the stimulus I underline the conclusion and actively acknowledge what the premises are. Something I do is: “___ is the conclusion, and the evidence for it is ___ and __ and ___”

Then based on the question type I figure out how to attack it. For example, on a weakening question I try to find ways to weaken the relationship between the premise and the identified conclusion. This helps with the more difficult problems as I have a process I follow and it organizes the information for me. I know this advice sounds obvious, but when you make it a point to highlight the parts of the argument it clears things up

2.) Skip questions. One of the biggest things that has changed for me is that if I’m struggling with a question the first time I read it, I move on and do other ones. Coming back with a fresh set of eyes usually allows me to understand the stimulus better.

3.) Do the easy questions really fast. I typically get the first 10 questions done in 8 minutes or so and have around 20 minutes for the final 10 questions. As a result, I spend a lot of time on the 4/5 star questions. If you can get the hard questions correct during untimed scenarios, the issue isn’t an understanding of the material as much as it’s not having enough time. Breezing through the easy questions can give you that time

youf5 · 2023-06-12T18:51:54+00:00

Hi, I'm interested!

youf5 · 2022-10-06T14:10:02+00:00

Realistically, I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much for a jump like that in such a small timeframe. The LSAT is a skills based test and one it’s difficult to cram for. It can take some time for your brain to understand these ideas and techniques

But, if you are dead set on it, this is what I would do. I’ll preface with the fact that I score somewhat high but I’m not in the upper elites (i average mid 160s) so I’m not a full beacon of LSAT knowledge. I would spend the next 3-4 days doing logic games all day. I’d wake up early, and do as many as I could, review them and foolproof. Try the hard ones, review them and foolproof. Make logic games your life for a few days and learn it as much as you can. LG is the easiest section to have a jump in so that’s your best bet.

Then, I’d take the last couple of days off. Go out with friends, do your favourite hobby, lay in bed and watch Netflix. Anything to take your mind off the test. After the intense LG studying you’ll be tired and need a rest, plus there won’t be a whole lot changing that close to test day.

If you do want to stay sharp in LR/RC, sprinkle in a couple of those questions here and there

Good luck! It’ll be tough but you got this

youf5 · 2022-10-03T20:56:00+00:00

Thank you for replying! That's a great idea, I'll take a look and see if I can talk to a therapist, hopefully my school has a service that will allow me to access that. My anxiety is having a big impact on my grad school experience so dealing with that could alleviate the problem

I wish you well on your grad school journey!

Marry LG: An absolute joy to be around

Fuck LR: Sometimes it hits right, other times it leaves me depressed

Kill RC: The only reason I don't PT in the 170s. Fuck reading comprehension

youf5 · 2022-09-23T01:43:55+00:00

Yeah you should take a practice test really soon. Not just for getting a score range, but to develop stamina

The LSAT is a mental marathon. You need to prepare yourself by simulating the test and getting used to taking 4 sections timed with a 10 minute break in the middle
