In this episode, hosts Carol and Jeevan sit down with Jonathon Braun (JD’15), Allard Law alum, Legal Director of the Migrant Workers Centre, and winner of Season 11 of The Amazing Race Canada. Jonathon shares the realities facing migrant workers in Canada today—from closed work permits and systemic vulnerability to the human cost of shifting immigration policy—and challenges the myths that continue to fuel anti-immigrant sentiment.

Later, Jonathon pulls back the curtain on his The Amazing Race Canada experience. He shares how the pressure, strategy, and surprising authenticity of reality TV, as well as his lifelong love of games, performance, and community, helped carry him through both law school and the race itself.
