The session will first look at the legal consequences of civil disobedience when all else fails from the perspective of three lawyers: one familiar with the TransMountain Pipeline protests and KI protests in Ontario, one involved in the Muskrat Falls protests in Newfoundland and Labrador and the third a professor on the impact of the recent Alberta anti-protest legislation on Indigenous rights (45 minutes).
Speakers:
