Catherine Galliford—a former RCMP spokesperson whose courage spurred a reckoning within Canada’s national police— died earlier this week at age 58 after a battle with liver cancer.

Galliford was the voice of the force on some very prominent cases—the Air India bombing, the search for missing women in B.C., the Robert Pickton investigation. But in 2011, she spoke out on a different front—alleging systemic sexual harassment within the Force.

Guest: Russ Grabb - Author, Traces of a Boy, Retired RCMP Superintendent and spokesperson for “E” Division RCMP
