Black Judges Matter - 6CR #104

Black Justice Donald McLeod's integrity is in question from Toronto's chapter of BLM, activist Desmond Cole & the Judicial system. In Dec 2020, Donald McLeod had a disciplinary hearing to evaluate a claim that he committed perjury during a statement of facts from his 2018 disciplinary hearing. Darnell & Joel consider the following questions as they evaluate this story: Is the Federation of Black Canadians a lobbying group? Is there an ulterior motive from the black opposition to Donald McLeod? Is it possible for Justice McLeod to be both a judge and an advocate for the black community? https://www.sixcentsreport.com/ Produced by https://www.myphoenixcreative.com/ Song from our intro: Sho Baraka - Pedantic References: Justice Donald McLeod Judicial Investigations Articles Feb 2018: Activists question Federation of Black Canadians' leadership, ties to Liberals Nov 2018: Black community shows support for embattled judge ahead of disciplinary hearing Dec 2018: Black community advocacy consistent with administration of justice, argues judge’s counsel Sep 2019: Controversial judge suspended nine months after being cleared March 2020: Brampton judge faces a second disciplinary hearing over what he told his first disciplinary hearing Dec 2020: Hearing for judge accused of perjury over Black federation role begins Dec 2020: Justice Donald McLeod facing ‘capital crime for a judge’ in disciplinary hearing: lawyer Dec 2020: Hearing for judge accused of lying about involvement in Canadian Black Federation Other References Federation of Black Canadians Principles of Judicial Office 'Not in mixed company': The tensions in Black Canadian advocacy Black Tea—the truth about the Federation of Black Canadians Steeped Tea—An update on the Federation of Black Canadians Tonight with Jamil Jivani - December 7, 2020 Give us your two cents via: Facebook Twitter [email protected]
