Justice with John Carpay
John Carpay, founder and president of The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, talks about the issues--legal, political and cultural--that concern him most. The Justice Centre (website jccf.ca) has been going strong for ten years, so there is a lot to discuss. With facilitator and producer Kevin Steel, each week John will bring you up to date on the latest, as well as provide insights about the law and the fight for freedom.

S03E39 A Primer on the POEC
Lawyers Hatim Kheir and Eva Chipiuk join Kevin to give us an introduction to the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC), which starts on Thursday, October 13, in Ottawa. They explain the format, the rules, the implications, and the knowns and unknowns, of this historic process. This is the first POEC, following the first-ever invocation of the Emergencies Act in February of 2022, when the federal government shut down the freedom rights movement in the capital.
