BONUS: Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. v. Carrier Sekani Tribal Council #BCITCollab
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.

Episode 106: R v Jordan Part I
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.

Episode 104: R. v. Boudreault Part I (Majority)
Today we have the 2018 SCC decision of R v Boudreault, brought to you by extra special guest Teodora Pasca!

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!

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.

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.

Episode 98: Centre for Gender Advocacy c. Attorney General of Quebec
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.

Episode 97: PE Real Estate Solutions Inc. v Kelly
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!

Truth & Reconciliation Commission Series: Part VIII: The Legacy - Part I
Today we bring you the eighth installment of our Truth and Reconciliation Commission Series. Episode Eight begins a new section which explores the Legacy of the Residential School System. This episode discusses the child welfare and educational legacies of the Residential School system, including data, delivery of services, lack of funding, outcomes, education and income gaps, education reform, post secondary education, Metis & Inuit education, and early childhood education. This episode begins at page 135 and continues to 1/2 way down page 152 "Language and Culture".
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.

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 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.

Episode 93: Nova Scotia (AG) v Walsh Part I (Majority)
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!

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!

Episode 88: Burrell V Burrell
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. Before Claire takes it away, Z + K chat the changes, "custody" and "access" and how Covid-19 denialism is playing out in family law decisions.
