S04E41 The Injustice of a Woke Justice

Justice with John Carpay

In a follow up to our January 16 podcast (S04E02 Another Institution Captured?), lawyer Glenn Blackett goes over the latest from the Law Society of Alberta, a Professional Development Profile. It is, he says, full of "woke" concepts that threaten to undermine the rule of law. This past summer, an informal group of lawyers sent an open letter to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to alert the government about the situation.
