The House

How Canada’s courts got so damn slow


Listen Later

For too many Canadians, justice delayed is justice denied. It’s not just annoying — delays in the system are causing some cases to be thrown out. The House digs deep into the issue — and the federal minister responsible sits down to discuss possible solutions.


But first, two keen Hill watchers will help break down the whirlwind of political news that swept the country this week, from a pesky PBO report that muddied the carbon tax debate, to former president Donald Trump’s conviction, to why Nicaragua is suddenly in the minds of politicos.


Plus — two youth activists sit down to talk about why they think it’s time for 16-year-olds to get the vote.


This episode features the voices of: 


  • Shannon Proudfoot, Globe and Mail 
  • Stuart Thomson, National Post 
  • The CBC’s Kristen Everson
  • Justice Minister Arif Virani 
  • Jayden Paquet Noiseux, Vote16 Canada
  • Caeden Tipler, Make It 16 New Zealand.
