Suggestions for Linux PDF Editor and E-sign (lemmy.ca)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/58911678

The law firm that I work for is has finally decided that we should embrace Linux.

When of the key programs that we use a PDF Editor that has e-sign capabilities. Most people use Adobe and I use Foxit.

The problem with Foxit is that it doesn't run natively on Linux. I have to use WINE which is already going to be a problem cause we need a program that works out of the box. Having a program work out of the box cuts down on IT support and makes it easier for everyone to use.

The features needed:

  1. Bookmark
  2. Move/delete/insert pages
  3. Redact
  4. Bates numbering
  5. E-sign
  6. Change orientation of the page
  7. Resize pages
  8. Add notes
  9. Highlight
  10. Charges in Canadian dollars
  11. Offline program
  12. User friendly

Bonus points: It's a non-American company

The ones that I have looked at:

  1. PDF Filler (not a fan of it being almost 100% cloud based)
  2. Master PDF Editor
  3. PDF Studio

Edit: Distro would most likely be Mint or Zorin.

Minister of Justice, Sean Fraser, introduced Bill C-9, which, among other things, aims to criminalize the public display of certain "hate symbols" in c/canada@lemmy.ca

It would be a boon for transparency if the government had to state why organizations are being listed. I'm not expecting list of evidence however an explanation would be good.

Court worked as it's designed to in the Hockey Canada case. That's the problem, survivors and lawyers say in c/canada@lemmy.ca

Section 11(c) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms confirms that defendants cannot be compelled to testify in their own matter. It's Canada's verision of the right to remain silent.

A witness can be compelled to testify however their testimony can't be used against them in other proceeding except for prejury charges. This is found in section 13 of the Charter.

Ultimately, it's up to the Crown to prove their case. It all comes back to being innocent before proven guilty. Section 11(d) of the Charter.

If you were to flip it all around, you would be considered guilty until proven innocent, you would always have to testify, and any witnesses that could help you would be open to being charged. In that scenario, good luck at not ending up in jail. The vast majority of defendants don't have the resources to take on the State in a criminal matter.

The defence had video recordings of the women verbally consenting

I haven't followed this casenor seen the evidence that was provided by either the Crown or the Defence. However, the Supreme Court confirmed in R. v. J.A., 2011 SCC 28 (CanLII), [2011] 2 SCR 440 that consent for sexual activity requires ongoing consent.

[65] In the end, we are left with this. Parliament has defined sexual assault as sexual touching without consent. It has dealt with consent in a way that makes it clear that ongoing, conscious and present consent to “the sexual activity in question” is required. This concept of consent produces just results in the vast majority of cases. It has proved of great value in combating the stereotypes that historically have surrounded consent to sexual relations and undermined the law’s ability to address the crime of sexual assault. In some situations, the concept of consent Parliament has adopted may seem unrealistic. However, it is inappropriate for this Court to carve out exceptions when they undermine Parliament’s choice. In the absence of a constitutional challenge, the appropriate body to alter the law on consent in relation to sexual assault is Parliament, should it deem this necessary.

The victim may have consented at first however if consent was revoked during sexual activity then it becomes sexual assault.

TIL companies can still discriminate against people born out of wedlock or if their parents divorce in c/til@lemmy.world

For thos who want to learn a new fact, it's illegal in Ontario to discriminate against people because of their family status.
