To round out our first year as podcasters, we talk to Cree and Métis lawyers Mandy Wesley and Amanda Driscoll about their experiences representing Garry McKay, an Oji-Cree man who was arrested by a Toronto Police officer who said he thought that Mr. McKay had a stolen bicycle. Mr. McKay knew he had been racially profiled, so he filed a complaint with the help of his legal team at Aboriginal Legal Services (ALS). In 2011, he won his case. A decade later, we talk to Mandy and Amanda about what happened to Mr. McKay and what still needs to change, and they tell us that us young folx give them hope!

Discussed: racial profiling, white supremacy, human rights, policing, nice bikes.
