S1 Ep 26Challenging Bill 21, the connection between sleep & intelligence, pedaling around the world, & leaving Twitter for Mastadon
STEPHEN BROWN, CEO of the National Council of Canadian Muslims - The government and groups who oppose Bill 21 - Quebec’s secularism law - had their voices heard yesterday in court. We heard from Lawyer Julius Grey yesterday just after he left court. What did the other opponents have to say?
