		The last two, held on November 2, resulted in Duplessis triumphs despite the fact that they were held in constituencies where opposition to his Padlock Law was the greatest.
		In the first nine months in which the law was in effect, November 1937 through July 1938, more than 300 raids were made under the law.
		In July, the Dominion Cabinet refused to act on the principle of the law, but held out hope of redress where specific injustice could be proved.

		Many of the cases have involved Witness refusal to participate in patriotic activities and state-enforced laws regarding blood transfusions.
		These include the striking down of Quebec's Padlock Law and other anti-Witness laws in the 1950s and more recent cases dealing with whether Witness parents had the right to decide what medical treatment was in the best interest of their children based on their faith.

		Padlock Law, March 24, Quebec, 1957, 1937, Jehovah's Witnesses...
		In Quebec, on March 24, 1937, the Union Nationale government of Maurice Duplessis passed the Padlock Law, which permitted closing any premises suspected of producing or distributing communist propaganda.
		The law was ill-defined and denied the presumption of innocence, and was often abused by the Duplessis government against political opponents and groups it considered undesirable, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses.

		Nonetheless, the Padlock Law allowed the provincial government to close any would-be Red Sanctuaries for up to a year, and also allowed Duplessis to confiscate any literature he deemed supportive of the socialist cause.
		High unemployment, not Bolshevik agitation, was behind social unrest in the '30s, but the Padlock Law served to redirect public attention towards Communism as the cause of all of the province's ills.
		Although the Padlock Law and the COA have several disturbing parallels with each other, the latter is considerably more awful than Duplessis' anti-civil liberties legislation.

		Just like laws passed in the Soviet Union, the act gave the government the power to close down a house for up to a year, and to confiscate and destroy any materials therein.
		He argued that the law was beyond the province's jurisdiction and limited his freedom of expression.
		He argued that the law was a property law, not a criminal law, designed to regulate property use, not criminal behaviour.

	MSN Encarta - Archive Article - 1939: Quebec
		While the war issue was paramount in the campaign, it is probable that the poor fiscal record of the Duplessis Government contributed to its defeat.
		To a degree, also, the results may reflect reaction against his notorious Padlock Law, whereby Liberal and Labor sympathizers were victimized along with Communists in a measure allowing the Government to padlock any private dwelling, hall, or meeting house which contained "Communist" literature — the term "Communist" being left purposely undefined.
		Later Duplessis accused the Federal Government of being "accomplices" of the Communists because radical literature had been distributed by the Dominion mails contrary to the spirit of the Padlock Law.

	Joan Sangster \| 'We No Longer Respect the Law':The Tilco Strike, Labour Injunctions, and the State \| Labour/Le Travail, ...
		"Laws must be obeyed," he said, "but bad laws changed" and he hinted that "mass picketing" might have to be used in the Tilco case as it had been in a recent successful Oshawa strike of newspaper workers, where an injunction was effectively countered by massive numbers of support pickets.
		The ways in which labour law, created first with craft, and later industrial unions in mind (in essence, with the the white, male worker as a model), exacerbated the difficulties organizing more marginalized women workers; they were simply not central to the labour movement's agenda at this time.
		Consent to the idea of law's inherent "justice" is constructed at a subterranean level, through daily, lived practices and cultural forms, through the seductive appeal of the law's promise to fairness, and for labour activists, the promise of its utility in securing short-term gains to improve their difficult lives.

		The Community Law Center (CLC), a nonprofit public-interest law firm that pushed for passage of the bill, reports that 18 groups have already met with its attorneys to explore the possibility of filing suits.
		At its sternest extreme, the bill of rights revives the rarely used "padlock law." Under that provision—a version of which was used in New York's crackdown on Times Square—police can order a property to be vacated and locked down if there are multiple convictions for certain criminal offenses there, including prostitution and drug dealing.
		And even short of a possible crackdown on felons, the law's backers expect things will be adversarial in the early stages, as a new wave of lawsuits tests the extent of community groups' powers, and as landlords unaccustomed to listening to community associations find themselves compelled to pay attention.
