Understanding Gender with Tammy Plunkett

True Justice with Judge John Reilly
12 JUL 2021 · In 1977, John Reilly became the youngest person ever appointed as an Alberta Provincial Court Judge. After twenty years on the bench, he began to notice a disproportionate number of indigenous accused appearing in his court and resolved to learn the reasons for this overrepresentation. Through his research he discovered information about residential schools, treaties, poverty and dispossession, and the intergenerational impact this had on indigenous peoples.
Equipped with this knowledge and a corresponding shift in perspective, John began to apply a more progressive lens to his role in order to address the issues of bias and systemic racism so rampant within the justice system. He quickly realized that he was working within a broken system, and that the establishment was resistant to change. After thirty-three years on the bench, he became so disillusioned with the Canadian criminal justice system, he resigned his position more than ten years before retirement would have been mandatory.
John is now a public speaker, writer, and advocate for transforming the justice system and creating better understanding between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples.
In this episode:
1. Shifting perspectives on justice and indigenous peoples (Intro).
2. Systemic discrimination and understanding customs (10:00).
3. Can we move forward together, considering our history? (17:25).
4. Preserving culture, language and identity (24:26).

6. A chat with my younger self – reframing wrongdoing (39:43).
7. Community justice forums and restorative justice (43:03).
8. A progressive view of the prison system (52:17).
9. A final word on autonomy (1:00:21).

Shoring Up the Gaps with Sharon Henifin
28 APR 2021 · When you go through something as serious as surviving breast cancer, it is often said that your
perspective on life changes and you realize what is truly important to you. But what happens in between the treatment and a return to so-called ‘regular life’ as a cancer survivor?
Having gone through treatment for breast cancer, a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery herself, Sharon was asked to help guide women going through the aftermath of cancer treatment. Realizing there was a much broader need for support, Sharon co-founded Breast Friends, an organization that helps cancer survivors take back their power, with programs, retreats and workshops designed to help women create a road map for their life beyond cancer.
Later, Sharon was given the opportunity to make an impact on women’s health in countries where
education around breast health and cancer was severely lacking. As the co-founder of Breast Advocates International, her mission is to educate and support women, advocating for early detection of breast cancer in the hopes of reducing mortality in countries that do not have access to diagnostic imaging.
