Michael Bryant on civil liberties and freedoms + the Political Panel with Jenni and Scott

Michael Bryant is Executive Director and General Counsel for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA). He joins us to discuss how our civil liberties are being restricted during COVID-19, and importantly, how we defend our personal data and freedoms in a post-pandemic society.

Michael Bryant was the youngest-ever Attorney General of Ontario. Mr. Bryant has appeared before all levels of court, including the Supreme Court of Canada. He was the Chief Negotiator for the Chippewas of Kettle & Stony Point, resulting in the historic 2016 Ipperwash Settlement Agreement. In 2019, Mr. Bryant was named Canadian Lawyer's Top 25 Most Influential in the justice system and legal profession in Canada.

Plus, Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid are back for The Herle Burly Political Panel. We'll debate the surveillance state in a time of COVID, what it would take to boot Andrew Scheer as Conservative party leader, and Joe Biden's VP possibilities.
