    Torts in Canada

    Tort law is a cornerstone of the Canadian legal system. It provides compensation for people who have been injured; or whose property has been damaged by the wrongdoing of others. Tort law is a vast area of private law. It has evolved to keep up with technology and social issues. It has been used by a growing number of victims of crime to help them seek justice against perpetrators. It has also been at the centre of high-profile Canadian cases involving the abuse of children; and the liability of governments for failing to protect citizens from contagious diseases and from defective medical devices.

    Tout le monde en parle

    Tout le monde en parle (French for “Everyone’s talking about it” and abbreviated TLMEP) is a weekly French-language panel discussion show. It airs on Radio-Canada on Sunday nights from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. Hosted by Guy A. Lepage since its debut in 2004, the program has become a cultural touchstone in Quebec. Its weekly audience rarely dips below one million. The show attracts guests from all walks of life — politicians, actors, athletes, musicians, activists — who weigh in on important news stories of the previous week. The show has earned a reputation as a political kingmaker and has even broken news in its conversations with important figures. Despite the program’s massive success in Quebec and French Canada, TLMEP is not very well known in English Canada and has no English-language equivalent. It has been described as the “Mass of Quebec television” and as “Quebec’s TV confessional.”
