    Five Four Pod on why the Supreme Court Sucks

    So, episode 140 – a new record.  But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast – right? You should. We are joined by Rhiannon and Peter from the amazing 5-4 podcast to chew the fat on the United Sates Supreme Court, politicization of the justice system, and judicial pooping. 5-4 is a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks. It's a progressive and occasionally profane take on the ideological battles at the heart of the Court's most important landmark cases; an irreverent tour of all the ways in which the law is shaped by politics. Check out all the ways you can listen to 5-4 at fivefourpod.com Remember, you can hang with some law nerds in The Docket’s Discord chatroom.  Join the Discord channel, take part in the ongoing chat, and (sometimes) listen to live recordings with this link: https://discord.gg/2TzUamZ And as always, a huge thanks to my firm AGP LLP who have not murdered me for editing the podcast at work!

    MAiD Delayed

    So, episode 139 – a new record.  But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast – right? You should. We are joined by the amazing professor Daphnie Gilbert, who specializes in teaching criminal and constitutional law, to talk about the announcement that the government is delaying (again) the full implementation of Medical Assistance in Dying.  Daphnie's research interests lie primarily in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, with a particular emphasis on equality rights, reproductive rights, medical assistance in dying (MAiD), sexual violence, and safe sport/abuse in sport. She is the Vice-Chair of Dying with Dignity and the perfect person to cut through the politics of this very important issue. But we start with a rant about Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre's disingenuous spin on car thefts and Danielle Smith's attack on trans youth. Emilie also give an update on the Convoy litigation. Rants all around!

    Rachel Gilmore

    So, episode 137– a new record.  But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast – right? You should. This episode we sit down with journalist Rachel Gilmore. Some call her a lightning rod for the far right,  but more accurately she is a great communicator who delivers excellent short-form news reports that expose misinformation and extremists across all the social media platforms (but not Facebook, sorry olds).  Because of her journalism Rachel has been on the receiving end of some scary shit - online harassment, stalking, and death threats. And she has spoken out about that too. Why don't we do a better job or protecting journalists (and basically all non-white men) from hateful and scary harassment? Is it a problem with the laws (no) or a problem of police priorities (definitely yes)? This episode we break it all down with Rachel Gilmore You can find Rachel all over the social medias, check out her Linktree.
