S04E02 Another Institution Captured?

Kevin is joined by Justice Centre lawyer Glenn Blackett who discusses his column about the Law Society of Alberta. Last year, the LSA forced its members, on penalty of losing their ability to practice law, to take a course on indigenous culture. Glenn describes the problems he sees with it and says this is a sign of institutional capture. He draws parallels between the LSA re-education and what is happening to Jordan Peterson in Ontario.
