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. 

Link to the full decision: https://www.canlii.org/en/ca/scc/doc/2010/2010scc43/2010scc43.html?autocompleteStr=Rio%20Tinto%20scc&autocompletePos=1

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).

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! Teodora does an excellent introduction, discussing victim fine surcharges and explaining how the majority sees those fines in terms of those marginalized by the state. 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!

Truth & Reconciliation Commission Series: Part XVII: The Challenge - Part VII

As we wrap up the year, we bring you the seventeenth installment of our Truth and Reconciliation Commission Series. Episode seventeen continues to explore the Challenge of Reconciliation. This episode explores TRC public education forums: Education Days and Youth Dialogues, the Role of Canada’s museums and archives in education for reconciliation, Canada’s national archives: Sharing Aboriginal history versus keeper of state records, Missing children, unmarked graves, and residential school cemeteries, and The limitations of archives. This episode begins at page 246 and ends midway through the page on 267. We will be continuing this section of the report in the next several episodes.

CW: We ask that you take care while engaging with this material.

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.

This is a project we will be unveiling throughout the summer & fall of 2021, thanks in no small part to the many people who offered to volunteer to guest read. 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 hope this can assist both legal professionals and the public in becoming culturally competent on this issue. 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 103: Streeter v. HR Technologies

Today we foray into the unknown - human rights law! Special thanks to Erin Pervin, who brought this to our attention. We adore Erin and are so thankful she volunteered as a guest reader. Before we let Erin take it away, we chat religion in the workplace, the Ontario Human Rights Code, and discrimination on the basis of creed. We also give an overview of the facts & the surrounding circumstances of the decision. We then explore how this 12 year old decision feels very topical in our current climate.
