Matt GreerHOST
You know, I think one of the inspirations for this episode is kinda some of the cross-border collaborations that have occurred between the, the American Bar Association and the Canadian Bar Association.
Matt GreerHOST
I understand there's, uh, there, there's some opportunities there.
Matt GreerHOST
I'm, I'm curious if either of you have any kind of experiences with those cross-border collaborations, any value that you may have found from having those conversations.
Matt GreerHOST

Reinhold KramerGUEST
And some of the, um, uh, some of that eventually caught on and the government, uh, near the end of the testimonies, they basically had to curtail some of the testimonies near the end because the lawyers for some of the, the, um, uh, witnesses, the spies did ask for habeas corpus, and, uh, the government did not want that to become kind of a, a public issue and a battle.
Reinhold KramerGUEST
Uh, the other, uh, reaction that's worth talking about is, um, the Canadian Bar Association.
Reinhold KramerGUEST
So afterwards, the Canadian Bar Association, especially the Civil Liberties Committee, uh, of that association, um, had, um, came up with a report that was, uh, the...
Reinhold KramerGUEST
So this is the Civil Liberties Committee came up with a report that they wanted the Bar Commission to vote on, which said, um, you know, basically criticized the government, uh, criticized the commission, and said this should not have been allowed.
Reinhold KramerGUEST
Uh, ultimately, the Bar Association didn't censure the government, but did accept the committee reports that said we should change things.

Aneka JiwajiGUEST
I really focused on like relationships and, and really leaning into like my leadership sort of qualities in all of those spaces.
Aneka JiwajiGUEST
So whether that be with, you know, various organizations, like I was very involved in the Canadian Bar Association as a younger lawyer, I was on their young lawyers executive for, you know, many, many years.
Aneka JiwajiGUEST
I made some wonderful connections through that.
Aneka JiwajiGUEST
I was really intentional about making great organic connections with people, like regardless of, you know, if I thought that it might serve me like later in my career, I didn't approach relationships with that thought process.
River ShannonGUEST
And that makes me think about the reason for my clinic's existence.
River ShannonGUEST
So the community legal clinic emerged because of a study that was conducted by the Canadian Bar Association And it found that the vast overwhelming majority of queer and trans people did not feel safe or comfortable speaking with a lawyer.
River ShannonGUEST
I think the number was in the low 90s of people that did not feel like they could have a meaningful conversation about anything.
River ShannonGUEST
Not just about issues that related centrally to their identity as a queer trans person.
