Show Notes
Duff Conacher, co-founder of the Canadian political accountability group Democracy Watch, discusses his organization's Supreme Court case challenging a decision by the federal ethics commissioner that cleared then-prime minister Justin Trudeau of violating ethics laws during the WE Charity scandal. He argues that allowing politicians to write their own rules and appoint their own watchdogs creates a closed accountability loop that undermines the rule of law and erodes democratic integrity. He explains how much corruption he's witnessed in Canada after nearly 33 years of keeping a close eye on Canadian politicians.
