Learn About Rights Issues

What are your rights, anyway? Justice Vs. was a podcast produced by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association exploring the landscape of civil liberties and human rights in Canada. Across its episodes, the show unpacked the story of civil rights in Canada to empower listeners to realize their own position as advocates.

Hosted by Maria Rio, each episode discussed major civil liberties cases and foundational human rights concepts. Conversations featured activists, lawyers, CCLA staff, and individuals directly impacted by rights violations across the country.

While the CCLA is no longer producing new episodes, past episodes remain available to stream below.
