PT 2 | An injustice system where 'you can buy your way out'

Phelan Johnson here, and I host a podcast about the legal cases that changed Canada. It's called See You in Court. And we've been working on a story about residential school survivor Willie Blackwater. At just thirteen, Willie held a knife to his rapist's throat. It was the first time he stood up to his abusers at residential school.

But it wasn't the last. And it leads Willie on a years long quest to hold the church and government to account. The story of Willie's fight for justice is in your feeds this week, wherever you get your podcasts. This is a CBC podcast.
