On Episode 97, we tell you about some of the arguments we intend to make when we challenge Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston's ban on walking in the woods. Plus we tell you about a decision that found first-past-the-post voting is not unconstitutionally racist or sexist.
Stories and cases discussed in this week's episode:
- CCF Petition: Tell Premier Houston to Re-open Nova Scotia Trails
- The critics of Nova Scotia’s ban on accessing the woods don’t understand our culture
- Fair Voting BC v. Canada (Attorney General), 2025 ONCA 581
- Access restrictions on wooded areas in N.S., N.B., during heightened wildfire risk face opposition
- Court gets it right in appeal of challenge to constitutionality of first-past-the-post voting system
