S04E11 Competing Rights and Accommodations

Justice with John Carpay

Lawyer Allison Pejovic joins Kevin to discuss the issues involving the trans community in the City of Calgary, particularly concerning the access to women's change rooms and bathrooms by pre-surgery trans versus the rights of women and children to female-only safe spaces. Allison describes an Ontario human rights case she is involved with from 2020, Yaniv v. Canada Galaxy Pageants, a similar issue, that has yet to be adjudicated.
