Kim and Reakash discuss Bill S-251, legislation that, if passed, would give judges discretion to decide whether or not to apply mandatory minimum sentences. We speak with Pam Palmater, a Mi'kmaq lawyer and activist about why mandatory minimums disproportionately affect Indigenous people and Neal Nshannacappo, a Saulteaux social worker and graphic novelist who designed a graphic novel on the real life effects of mandatory minimums called Mashkawide'e Has a Strong Heart.
