The Canadian Court Rundown
Calum McCracken and Carter Bobbie

Summary: The Canadian Court Rundown explores how the courts can be used as a tool for citizens to seek policy and constitutional reform, as well as remedies. The hosts welcome Wolfville lawyer Derrick Kimball to the show as he describes his own experience of bringing a case to the Supreme Court of Canada and reflects on the balance between parliamentary and constitutional supremacy.
