This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko break down Canada's new bail reform legislation and how it quietly changes the Criminal Code to bring back discretionary driving prohibitions in serious offences like criminal negligence and manslaughter. They explain what this means for drivers, defence lawyers, and why the timing of a plea could make a difference. Kyla also addresses controversy around ICBC's Indigenous driver support hotline — pushing back on racist commentary and reminding listeners that reconciliation and accessibility still matter in the justice system. Finally, the Ridiculous Drivers of the Week include a Lamborghini driver speeding through winter without proper tires, and a Halifax woman who stole a fire truck and somehow didn't crash it. Listen now for sharp legal analysis, real-world driving law insights, and a little humour along the way.

Dr. Danardo Jones from the University of Windsor spoke with Mike Stubbs about the biggest questions surrounding bail reform in Canada.

On the latest episode of Everyday Injustice, host David Greenwald sits down with David Gaspar, CEO of The Bail Project, for a powerful conversation about the inequities of America's bail system. The discussion opens with an exploration of how cash bail disproportionately punishes poor and marginalized communities, while offering little real protection to the public. As Gaspar explains, the system often criminalizes poverty, untreated trauma, mental health crises, and substance use, leaving people jailed not because they pose a danger, but because they cannot afford freedom. Gaspar shares his own remarkable journey through the criminal legal system. At 22, he was arrested and pressured into accepting a plea deal he didn't fully understand, leading to a wrongful sentence and a decade behind bars. While incarcerated, he earned his GED, taught himself the law, and eventually won his own freedom through a self-written appeal to the state Supreme Court. That experience, he notes, fuels his determination to ensure others don't face the same despair without access to support and fairness. The conversation highlights the devastating ripple effects of pretrial detention. Losing a job, housing, or custody of children can happen within days or weeks behind bars, destabilizing lives long after release. Gaspar underscores that what people need most is not punishment, but stability and opportunity to move forward. He points to the $14 billion spent annually on detaining legally innocent people as a moral and fiscal failure, arguing those resources could be redirected toward real solutions like housing, treatment, and community support. Throughout the interview, Gaspar makes the case for reimagining pretrial justice—moving away from “assembly line” bail hearings toward meaningful due process and investments in services that actually promote safety. With stories of resilience and redemption, including clients who have rebuilt their lives after release, Gaspar emphasizes that human potential doesn't vanish because of a mistake or hardship. Instead, with compassion and support, people can and do thrive.

To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description: What happened when Illinois ended cash bail? As Laura's guests explain, this deeply discriminatory and unjust system puts “a ransom on people's heads,” disproportionately impacts Black and Brown people, and favors the wealthy who can buy their freedom while leaving the poor to languish in jail.

The historic win didn't happen overnight. In this episode some of those most involved explain what it took and describe the surprising results. Sharone R. Mitchell Jr., the Cook County Chief Public Defender was the lead policy expert for the Coalition to End Money Bond. Mitchell also heads the state's largest public defender office. State Senator Robert Peters represents Illinois' 13th District and was one of the main sponsors of the Pretrial Fairness Act. He chairs the Senate Labor Committee.

Larry Krasner was a special guest at a Fraternity meeting of the Philly Nu Sigma of Phi Beta Sigma. We happened to be at the meeting and provided this report for the The Neoliberal News media - The Neoliberal Post, The Neoliberal Journals and The Neoliberal Round. Larry discuss how his work has saved tax payers billions of dollars with the reduction of mass incarceration's thanks to the sentencing and supervision program. However Krasner stated that Supervision only works temporarily as the experience is that after three years they go back to jail. Krasner reports how he has also reduced that. Larry announces that this day in May we have fewer homicide today on this 14th day of the year than any other year in Philadelphia. 1. Lots of money into preventing crime and into solving crime, doing it at the same time - creates better results and it costs the country and the city less incarceration is an expensive activity and thanks to the work of the mayor and the security forces. 2.
