Not Reserving Judgment

On Episode 61, we analyze the proposal to improve protections for property, firearms and medical autonomy in the Alberta Bill of Rights; we discuss a Quebec decision that found repeated random stops unconstitutional; and we tell you about a B.C. librarian's argument that she's facing discrimination because she can't pick her kid up on time from daycare.
