The Justice Centre loses one when the ruling in the British Columbia smudging case comes down. This pitted a parent's rights against a school that conducted an aboriginal smudging ceremony. The judge decided that the smudging was cultural, not religious and therefore the school could do as it saw fit. In an update on the Ngo case, the Justice Centre will be suing UBC for their cancellation of a speaking event due to "safety and security." Host John Carpay and producer Kevin Steel also discuss the latest happenings with Jessica Yaniv and conclude with a recent ruling in favour of a dad dealing with child undergoing a gender transition.
