À propos de cet audio

 Hey, Canadians! Do you know your rights? Or are you more familiar with the rights of Americans? Media and pop culture may give us the impression that we know the laws and rights that regulate the world around us, but our understanding of the regulatory and governing bodies in Canada might be assumptions from what we know about The US. Join Karen and Alex as we sort through Canadian laws, regulations and rights, and review real Canadian cases that reference or even influence the law in question. We’re not Un-American, we’re just not American.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. Politique Sciences politiques Sciences sociales True Crime

    We end up taking a few detours and exploring offramps as we cruise along the B-I-Trans Canada Highway. We end up cutting a lot off the off-topic conversations from our main feed episodes, and compiling them into bonus content that can be found on our Patreon. Here's a little taster from the MMIWG episode for you.
