Today, we bring you the twenty first installment of our Truth and Reconciliation Commission Series. We continue to go through each Appendices, continuing with Appendix 2: Canada's Residential Schools. This brief episodes outlines how the list of schools were put together and what criteria was involved in the selection process. Our next episode will take us through the list of the schools themselves.
Special thanks to Tom Naciuk who recorded this episode.

Please check out the Summary of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada if you wish to follow along while listening and/or see the photos which accompany the report.
This is a project we have been unveiling since summer 2021, thanks in no small part to the many people who offered to volunteer to guest read. We will be providing a podcast format version of the entire Executive Summary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Final Report, in addition to other TRC content. We hold space for Indigenous people who have been and continue to be harmed by colonialism. This recording is our way of engaging with Call to Action #27 - which calls upon legal professionals to ensure they have appropriate cultural competency training. We hope this can assist both legal professionals and the public in becoming culturally competent on this issue. We feel it our responsibility as settlers and as legal professionals to do this work and we thank you for listening.
These episodes will not be appearing on our YouTube feed. Instead, we ask you to please visit the #ReadtheTRC page on YouTube - linked here. This is an amazing project which provides YouTube videos of people reading the entire Executive Summary report and is perfect for those who wish to engage with the report with both an audio and visual component. We want to ensure full credit is given to Chelsea Vowel (link to work site here) who was one of the organizers of the #ReadTheTRC project. We hope our work serves as a companion piece and allows individuals to engage with the material in an accessible and available manner.

Welcome back to the C O L L A B ZONE!
Today we continue our new series of bonus episodes which we recorded with the help of students from the British Columbia Institute of Technology!
As part of our ongoing engagement with Call to Action #27 of the TRC, we created a series of summaries of key Aboriginal case law decisions so that legal students, practitioners, and the public can further engage and learn about how our Canadian legal system treats Indigenous peoples. Some of these decisions are already available in full in other episodes, others we are still working on releasing as full recordings. We worked on this project with students from the British Columbia Institute of Technology, who generously donated their time to record the summaries for us. We also want to thank the 1492 Windsor Law Coalition who provided the basis for some summaries.
Today we have Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. v. Carrier Sekani Tribal Council a 2010 SCC decision. The SCC reaffirmed the test from Haida for the Duty to Consult and held that approving the Energy Purchase Agreement in question was not unreasonable as it did not adversely affect an Aboriginal Interest.

As we wind down the final parts of our complete recording of the TRC - we are re-releasing the Calls to Action so they appear in our feed how they appear chronologically in the Executive Summary. It has been our privilege to work on this project over these last months. We want to again thank everyone who came together to help us get this done. We have around 5 episodes to go which will be from the Report Appendices. In the meantime, please take a listen to the Calls to Action. It is always time for Reconciliation.
...
Today we bring you the first installment of our Truth and Reconciliation Commission Series. This is a shortened version of the Calls to Action, a complete version of which - as it appears in the Executive Summary - will be released later this summer. These are the 94 specific calls to action which the TRC called for and it is essential reading/listening for settlers on this land we now call Canada. If you want to learn about how the 94 Calls to Action have and have not been implemented since the TRC Report, please check out resources here.

Today we have Mikisew Cree First Nation v. Canada (Minister of Canadian Heritage) a 2018 SCC Decision. Omnibus legislation was introduced which would have significantly impacted environmental protection. Mikisew Cree Nation was not consulted and brought a JR application arguing a failure of the Crown in their duty to consult. The Majority of the SCC held that the development of legislation does not trigger the Duty to Consult.

You asked and asked (and asked) ... and we finally delivered! Thanks to our guest reader extraordinaire Amandeep Sehmbi we bring you the Majority decision in R v Jordan. This seminal 2016 SCC decision remains the most pivotal decision regarding section 11(b) of the Charter aka DELAY. Before Amandeep takes you through the decision, Karly and Zach chat what Jordan means and how it touches... well... everything (or so it seems). We also chat Jordan & Covid, exceptional circumstances, court closures and court reopenings ... which is a whole entire can of worms.

Today we have Haida Nation v British Columbia (Minister of Forests), a 2004 SCC decision. The Haida people had claimed title to the lands of the Haida Gwaii but had no legal title. The BC government issued a Tree Farm license, and then transferred that license. The Haida challenged the transfer as it was made without their consent. The SCC held there was a Duty to Consult and discusses the basic principles related to the Duty to Consult.

Today we launch a new series of bonus episodes which we recorded with the help of students from the British Columbia Institute of Technology!
As part of our ongoing engagement with Call to Action #27 of the TRC, we compiled a series of summaries of key Aboriginal case law decisions so that legal students, practitioners, and the public can further engage and learn about how our Canadian legal system treats Indigenous peoples. Some of these decisions are already available in full in other episodes, others we are still working on releasing as full recordings. We worked on this project with students from the British Columbia Institute of Technology, who generously donated their time to record the summaries for us. We also want to thank the 1492 Windsor Law Coalition who provided the basis for some summaries.
First up, we have Behn v Moulton Contracting, a 2013 SCC decision - where the BC government granted licenses to a logging company to deforest two areas of Fort Nelson First Nation. Members blocked access to the logging site and the logging company brought an action against the Aboriginal community. The decision discusses the Duty to Consult and the nature of collective rights and their enforcement.

Today, we bring you the nineteenth installment of our Truth and Reconciliation Commission Series. Episode nineteen continues to explore the Challenge of Reconciliation. This section examines the Arts, Residential School commemoration projects, children's art from the Alberni school, and Canada's public commemoration initiative. This episode begins at page 279 (The Arts) and ends midway through the page on 292 (Media & Reconciliation). We will be continuing this section of the report in the next several episodes.
CW: We ask that you take care while engaging with this material.
Please check out the Summary of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada if you wish to follow along while listening and/or see the photos which accompany the report.
This is a project we have been unveiling since summer 2021, thanks in no small part to the many people who offered to volunteer to guest read. We will be providing a podcast format version of the entire Executive Summary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Final Report, in addition to other TRC content. We hold space for Indigenous people who have been and continue to be harmed by colonialism. This recording is our way of engaging with Call to Action #27 - which calls upon legal professionals to ensure they have appropriate cultural competency training. We hope this can assist both legal professionals and the public in becoming culturally competent on this issue. We feel it our responsibility as settlers and as legal professionals to do this work and we thank you for listening.
These episodes will not be appearing on our YouTube feed. Instead, we ask you to please visit the #ReadtheTRC page on YouTube - linked here. This is an amazing project which provides YouTube videos of people reading the entire Executive Summary report and is perfect for those who wish to engage with the report with both an audio and visual component. We want to ensure full credit is given to Chelsea Vowel (link to work site here) who was one of the organizers of the #ReadTheTRC project. We hope our work serves as a companion piece and allows individuals to engage with the material in an accessible and available manner.

In this new year of 2022, we bring you the eighteenth installment of our Truth and Reconciliation Commission Series. Episode eighteen continues to explore the Challenge of Reconciliation. This section examines Public memory: Dialogue, the arts, and commemoration, Dialogue: Ceremony, testimony, and witnessing, & The power of ceremony, Life stories, testimonies, and witnessing as teachings. This episode begins at page 267 (Public Memory) and ends midway through the page on 279 (The Arts). We will be continuing this section of the report in the next several episodes.
CW: We ask that you take care while engaging with this material.
Please check out the Summary of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada if you wish to follow along while listening and/or see the photos which accompany the report.
This is a project we will be unveiling throughout the summer & fall of 2021, thanks in no small part to the many people who offered to volunteer to guest read. We will be providing a podcast format version of the entire Executive Summary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Final Report, in addition to other TRC content. We hold space for Indigenous people who have been and continue to be harmed by colonialism. This recording is our way of engaging with Call to Action #27 - which calls upon legal professionals to ensure they have appropriate cultural competency training. We hope this can assist both legal professionals and the public in becoming culturally competent on this issue. We feel it our responsibility as settlers and as legal professionals to do this work and we thank you for listening.
These episodes will not be appearing on our YouTube feed. Instead, we ask you to please visit the #ReadtheTRC page on YouTube - linked here. This is an amazing project which provides YouTube videos of people reading the entire Executive Summary report and is perfect for those who wish to engage with the report with both an audio and visual component. We want to ensure full credit is given to Chelsea Vowel (link to work site here) who was one of the organizers of the #ReadTheTRC project.

Today we have the 2018 SCC decision of R v Boudreault, brought to you by extra special guest Teodora Pasca! Teodora does an excellent introduction, discussing victim fine surcharges and explaining how the majority sees those fines in terms of those marginalized by the state. Before Teodora explains the context and outcome of the decision, Z & K wax poetic (quickly) about victim fine surcharges in general. We're splitting Teodora's episode into two parts, so first up is the Majority decision, penned by Justice Martin. Thanks for guest reading Teodora!

Today we foray into the unknown - human rights law! Special thanks to Erin Pervin, who brought this to our attention. We adore Erin and are so thankful she volunteered as a guest reader. Before we let Erin take it away, we chat religion in the workplace, the Ontario Human Rights Code, and discrimination on the basis of creed. We also give an overview of the facts & the surrounding circumstances of the decision. We then explore how this 12 year old decision feels very topical in our current climate.

We've got a wonderful crossover between criminal law & legal professionalism - but a little heavy on the professionalism. Before Karly takes you through the decision, Zach and Karly chat the duty of loyalty, the Rules of Professional Conduct, the bar exam (yuck), commitment to the client's cause, duty of candor... you know - all the duties! We chat conflicts, how to prevent them, and what to do when conflicts occur.

ONE HUNDRED OFFICIAL EPISODES! This is our 100th official main episode on the pod and we could not be more excited! For this special episode, we take it back to our origins, with a 2020 decision from Pomerance J out of Windsor. This decision discusses expert evidence and the role it plays when all other evidence is circumstantial. Pomerance J goes into a lengthy discussion of the history of such evidence, what it means, and what the trial judge's role is in this evidence. Before Karly reads you the decision, Karly & Zach chat law school, circumstantial evidence, and some waxing poetic about the law.

We're back with a recent & topical criminal law decision - R v Simonelli! This decision, stemming from the OCJ in Brampton, concerns systemic, institutional delay at the Brampton Courthouse. The decision, which examines systemic delay - what that means, and what it looks like - is an essential one to listen to become up to speed on delay discussions with respect to bail. Before Karly reads the decision, Zach and Karly talk delay, Covid, bail, presumption of innocence, and court resources & how it all came together in this one decision.

Today we have special guest Tasha Stansbury, frequent podcast decision reader, to bring us this important & recent QB decision. This decision, which falls under changes to the Quebec Civil Code, concerns the ability to change gender markers on government documents for non-citizen residents. There were six provisions of the Civil Code - which applied to non-citizen residents - which were challenged. They were found to be unconstitutional under both the Charter and under the human rights regime in Quebec. It is an important human rights decision which explores the intersection of gender & a civil code. Extra special thanks to Tasha for flagging this one for us!
NOTE: This decision contains some language which is considered to be outdated by some members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Today we bring you the tenth installment of our Truth and Reconciliation Commission Series. Episode Ten begins a new section which explores the Legacy of the Residential School System. This episode discusses the justice legacy of Residential Schools including the RCMP, prosecutions, civil litigation, limitation periods, educating lawyers, the aftermath of the settlement agreement, overrepresentation of Indigenous people in the carceral system, mandatory minimums, offenders with FASD, parole, cultural services in prisons and jails, overrepresentation of youth, victimization of Indigenous people, violence against Indigenous women and girls and strategies for change. This episode begins at page 164 and finishes this section of the report at page 182.
CW: We ask that you take care while engaging with this material.
Special thanks to Noelle Sorrell who recorded this episode.
Please check out the Summary of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada if you wish to follow along while listening and/or see the photos which accompany the report.
This is a project we will be unveiling throughout the summer & fall of 2021, thanks in no small part to the many people who offered to volunteer to guest read. We will be providing a podcast format version of the entire Executive Summary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Final Report, in addition to other TRC content. We hold space for Indigenous people who have been and continue to be harmed by colonialism. This recording is our way of engaging with Call to Action #27 - which calls upon legal professionals to ensure they have appropriate cultural competency training. We hope this can assist both legal professionals and the public in becoming culturally competent on this issue. We feel it our responsibility as settlers and as legal professionals to do this work and we thank you for listening.
These episodes will not be appearing on our YouTube feed. Instead, we ask you to please visit the #ReadtheTRC page on YouTube - linked here. This is an amazing project which provides YouTube videos of people reading the entire Executive Summary report and is perfect for those who wish to engage with the report with both an audio and visual component. We want to ensure full credit is given to Chelsea Vowel (link to work site here) who was one of the organizers of the #ReadTheTRC project. We hope our work serves as a companion piece and allows individuals to engage with the material in an accessible and available manner.

Don't call it a comeback! Today we have a short and sweet special treat. This is an appeal to the ON Divisional Court of a Small Claims matter that was argued by founder extraordinaire Zach when he was a law student at Community Legal Aid! Taken to the Divisional Court by ACTO, this decision is an excellent discussion about the scope, purpose, and jurisdiction of the Residential Tenancies Act and about the responsibilities of landlords under that Act. Spoiler: the decision didn't go Zach's way at Small Claims, but the the court found for the tenants on appeal!

Today we've got Part I in our multi-part release of Canada (AG) v Walsh! The extra special part of this episode is that it is read by our very own friend of the podcast Bennison Smith! We also did something a bit different this time - we brought on Bennison, in the (virtual) flesh, to chat about the decision with us! Before Bennison takes us away, he gives us some context to the decision, mentions that is is no longer 'good law' but it is still taught in law school [for the 'good law', see Quebec (AG) v A], explains property sharing regimes for cohabiting couples, and gets our endless thanks for contributing to our Family Law catalog of cases! Also, apologies it it's a bit glitchy in the intro - we're still working out the kinks with recording more than 2 people at a time!

This provides an overview of what is contained in the report, and a general overview of the history and legacy of Residential Schools.
CW: We ask that you take care while engaging with this material.
Special thanks to Teddy Weinstein, who recorded this episode.
Please check out the Summary of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada if you wish to follow along while listening and/or see the photos which accompany the report.
This is a project we will be unveiling throughout the summer of 2021, thanks in no small part to the many people who offered to volunteer to guest read. We will be providing a podcast format version of the entire Executive Summary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Final Report, in addition to other TRC content. We hold space for Indigenous people who have been and continue to be harmed by colonialism. This recording is our way of engaging with Call to Action #27 - which calls upon legal professionals to ensure they have appropriate cultural competency training. We hope this can assist both legal professionals and the public in becoming culturally competent on this issue. We feel it our responsibility as settlers and as legal professionals to do this work and we thank you for listening.

We're stepping out into another area of law today with our first ever estates case! Antonio Giamberadino, who was a solo practitioner at the time he recorded this (he is no longer - audio production takes time folks) is going to bring you Milne Estate (Re), a 2019 decision which went all the way to the Ontario Divisional Court. Since Karly and Zach know precious little about wills & estates, we leave this one mostly to Antonio to chat about primary & secondary estates, probate, privately held asset wills, drafting conventions and some general context. We're eternally grateful to Antonio for both recording this one and bringing it to our attention!

Today, in honor of her birthday, we have another special guest reading by dear friend of the podcast Claire Allsop! Claire, our resident family law expert, will be reading the 2021 family law decision of Burrell v Burrell. In addition to being a decision out of Z + K's home jurisdiction of Windsor, this is an excellent decision to grapple with the recent changes to the Divorce Act.

Today we bring you Part III of our release of Callow v Zollinger, a 2020 SCC contract law decision. As she often does in cases involving the law of contract, Justice Cote dissents - although she agrees with the concurring opinion's critique of the majority's bijural analysis. If you want to hear us chat about the care or listen to the Majority's decision, head on back to episode 76!

Today we bring you Part II of our release of Callow v Zollinger, a 2020 SCC contract law decision. The concurring opinion, penned by Justice Brown (with Justices Moldaver & Rowe concurring) arrives at the same outcome of the Majority, but takes a different path. The concurring decision disagrees that a bijural analysis is necessary and that an extensive examination of similar law in the Quebec civil code was unnecessary. If you want to hear us chat about the care or listen to the Majority's decision, head on back to episode 76!

Today we've got both a guest reader and a weekend bonus episode. Noelle Sorrell, paralegal extraordinaire, brings you the recent decision of R v Minassian which concerned the 2018 Toronto van attack. We graciously thank Noelle for recording this important decision on extremely short notice. Controversially, the court addresses the accused only by John Doe throughout the decision. CW: This content discusses violence against women and includes depictions of serious injury and death and might be upsetting to some so please take care while listening.

We're bringing you a very special weekend bonus episode - the recent Ontario case Work Safe Twerk Safe v Ontario. The case concerns an application brought by Work Safe Twerk Safe on behalf of strippers in the province of Ontario in light of Covid-19 restrictions. This preliminary motion, dealing with anonymity in affidavit evidence, provides interesting insight and analysis of why anonymity is important in our current digital world.
Note 1 From the Decision: At the beginning of the hearing, counsel for Work Safe advised me that “strippers” is the term used by Work Safe and the term preferred by the individuals it represents.

Today we've got the SCC Majority's decision in the seminal 1992 case of Machtinger v HOJ Industries, which is still a staple in the law of implied terms. Before Karly takes you through the decision, Zach and Karly discuss contract law, how we're still mad about having to learn Pao-On, how brevity in SCC decisions is a breath of fresh air, accessible language, and how it's really the concurring decision in Machtinger which has stood the test of time.
