Tragedy and Justice: Unpacking Political Agendas with Trish Wood
We know that affluent offenders benefit all the time through this process, so it's a dehumanizing, degrading, stigmatization process that I believe calls into the very credibility of the justice system, and we've seen this play out in numerous wrongful conviction cases in Canada.
When politics meets tragedy, the outcomes can be unsettling. In this gripping episode of 'Trish Wood is Critical', award-winning journalist Trish Wood dives into the murky waters of political exploitation and judicial controversies.

Trish doesn't shy away from these tough questions.
She chats with Prof Darryl Davies about the politicization of Canada's judicial system and the controversial case of Tamara Lich from the Freedom Convoy. Lydia Perovic also joins to discuss her new book, which paints a vivid picture of our fractured relationship with a nation in cultural turmoil. Trish’s empathetic yet unyielding interview style brings out raw truths and challenges the conventional narratives, making you rethink what you thought you knew.
