This month on our Off the Hill political panel, we ask the question: how just is Canada’s justice system? Who is it serving and protecting – and who gets left behind? Does our justice system truly respect everyone’s rights and freedoms?
From the ongoing federal Black Class Action lawsuit alleging systemic anti-Black racism in the federal public service, to a history of policing and silencing Palestinian voices, and more, clearly we can tell something isn’t working.
Join us on Wednesday, November 20, 2024 as we dive into this discussion with poet and activist El Jones, policy analyst Chuka Ejeckam and rabble’s own parliamentary reporter Karl Nerenberg. Panel starts at 4:30pm PT / 7:30pm ET. Co-hosted by Robin Browne and Libby Davies.
