Family fights to clear Russell Woodhouse's name in 1973 Winnipeg homicide

from This is Manitoba

For over 50 years, Russell Woodhouse has been remembered as a convicted killer, but new efforts are being made to clear his name decades after his death. CBC's Caitlyn Gowriluk takes us through the journey of Woodhouse's family and the lawyers dedicated to seeing him exonerated. She joins Marcy Markusa with details of the fight for justice, and how this case could set a historic precedent for wrongfully convicted people.The Manitoba Veterinary Medical Association has voted to ban the cosmetic practice of tail docking in dogs, a decision hailed by animal rights advocates. While this move aligns with veterinary practices across Canada and around the world, the question remains: why was this procedure ever performed? Dr. Jonas Watson, a veterinarian from Winnipeg, tells host Marcy Markusa about the impact of the ban and what it means for animal welfare in the province.
