How anxiety over today's democracy is political

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. That's like a nine, nine and a half.

Probably eight or nine out of ten. I would give it a nine to eleven. Welcome to Ideas. I'm Nala Ayed. And on a scale of one to ten, with ten being like supreme debilitating anxiety and one being like super chill and all great, where would you put yourself?

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
