Show Notes
Brandi Morin is INCREDIBLE. She's one of Canada's most influential journalists. She's an author, advocate, and mother who was arrested for covering Edmonton Police's violent indigenous tent community.
She's been targeted for her reporting before, but this was different. Brandi has been a journalist covering Indigenous issues for 20 years, and the story of her arrest for the crime of doing journalism while Indigenous is appalling.
Brandi details her experience, what it means for journalism in Canada, and how performative Canada's "Truth and Reconciliation" movement is in Alberta, especially.
Wait till you hear what Edmonton Police did for the people they beat and cleared out of that community to give them "better lives."
This is a must-listen/must-watch podcast for every Canadian with empathy who gives a shit about democracy and humanity.
