Something Worth Hearing – Episode #009 – Alberta separatism is impossible & a right-wing win-win

Kyla Lee joined Paul Henderson on the Something Worth Hearing podcast for a conversation about Alberta separation, constitutional law, Indigenous consultation, and why the legal path for a province leaving Canada is far more complicated than many people realize.

Soapbox Social: There’s a new BC Conservative leader in town

The panel discussion covers several developing political situations in British Columbia, including a potential revival of the BC Liberal Party, the leadership of the BC Conservatives, and policing scandals in Surrey.

“I think there is a division in the party, and uniting people is going to be a challenge. The positions she has been taking on things like SOGI may alienate some fiscal conservatives who do not have a particular issue with those types of things. Balancing that, not going too far to the right while also not going too far left and alienating more right-leaning party members, is a delicate tightrope she will have to walk.”

BarTalk Beyond the Bar: Government Rhetoric Undermines Confidence in the Administration of Justice by Kyla Lee

Political talk about crime has increasingly zeroed in on so-called “repeat offenders,” tougher bail, and the need to “strengthen” criminal law. This started with catch-and-release rhetoric heard in the last few elections. Although little more than fearmongering, it was effective. It preyed upon the public’s fear and lack of understanding of the criminal justice system. It became politically expedient to support tough-on-crime laws.

The Premier, Attorney General, and mayors now speak about public safety with a frequency and a tone that blurs the lines between the executive and the courts. This has the potential to erode public confidence in the administration of justice.
