July 20, 2023 - A Corrections Canada review has concluded the agency took the proper steps in transferring serial killer Paul Bernardo to a medium security prison. Power and Politics brings you more details. Plus, we look at the on-again, off-again B.C. port strike, which appears to be off again. We speak with former B.C. premier Christy Clark.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling for the removal of the Commissioner of Corrections Canada after its quiet and unexplained decision to transfer notorious serial killer Paul Bernardo from maximum to medium security lockup. And the federal government has expressed shock over the move that was done in secrecy. Outrage is growing over the transfer leaving many asking about victims rights vs the rights of convicted criminals. We reached Memorial University Associate Professor Dr. Scott Kenney who specializes in criminology and victims rights. AND This week marked the 79th anniversary of D-Day that still resonates today. Historians often refer to it as the beginning of the end of World War II. June 6th 1944 marked the invasion of the beaches at Normandy in northern France by troops from Canada, United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and other countries during World War II. The operation became known as the largest amphibious invasion in military history. Juno Beach is most famous for being one of the five landing spots for the D-Day invasion. We reached Alex Fitzgerald-Black, executive director with the Juno Beach Centre Association based in Canada that runs a war museum in France.

In Canada, England, and Wales, certain convicted persons may be designated as dangerous offenders and subject to a longer, or indefinite, term of imprisonment in order to protect the public. Other countries, including parts of the United States have similar provisions of law. Worldwide. United States. In the United States, "Dangerous offender" statutes are defined on a state-by-state basis and are applied at sentencing such that the enhanced "dangerous offender" sentence stems from the original illegal activity. A person under "dangerous offender" sentencing is typically held for a minimum term that coincides with the sentence the person would have received without the "dangerous offender" sentence, and thereafter is subject to review of the person's state of mind as a determination of eligibility for release. Alternatively, a person can be civilly committed if a judicial hearing determines that a concurrent mental disorder makes the person likely to remain dangerous because of a lack of self-control. This issue arose in the case of sex offenders in Kansas v Hendricks (1997) in which the court did allow limited commitment; the court reversed itself on the very same issue in Kansas v Crane (2002) imposing much stricter commitment standards and a higher burden of proof. Various state and federal sex offender registry laws impose additional post-conviction requirements for sex offenders. Canada. In Canadian criminal law, a convicted person who is designated a dangerous offender may be subjected to an indeterminate prison sentence, whether or not the crime carries a life sentence. This does not apply to convictions of first degree murder, second degree murder, high treason, and treason. The purpose of the legislation is to detain offenders who are deemed too dangerous to be released into society because of their violent tendencies, but whose sentences would not necessarily keep them incarcerated under other legislation, such as the Correctional and Conditional Release Act. Under subsection 761(1) of the Criminal Code, the Parole Board of Canada is required to review the case of an offender with a dangerous offender label after seven years, and parole may be granted as circumstances warrant, but the offender would remain under supervision indefinitely. After the initial review, the Parole Board must conduct subsequent reviews every two years. According to Corrections Canada, on average 24 dangerous offenders are admitted to the Canadian prison system each year. Paul Bernardo is one well-known dangerous offender. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/law-school/support

During his career with Corrections Canada, Robert Clark rose through the ranks from student volunteer to deputy warden. He worked with some of Canada’s most notorious prisoners, including Tyrone Conn and Paul Bernardo, and he dealt with escapes, lockdowns, murders, suicides, and a riot. But he also arranged ice hockey games in a maximum-security institution, sat in a darkened gym watching movies with three hundred inmates, took parolees sightseeing, and consoled victims of violent crime. In his monograph Down Inside, Clark takes readers into prisons large and small, from the minimum-security Pittsburgh Institution to the Kingston Regional Treatment Center for the mentally ill and the notorious (and now closed) maximum-security Kingston Penitentiary. He challenges head-on the popular belief that a “tough on crime” approach makes communities and prisons safer, arguing instead for humane treatment and rehabilitation and for an end to the abuse of solitary confinement. Robert Clark began his career with Corrections Canada in 1980, working in the gymnasium at the medium-security Joyceville Institution. Over the next thirty years, he worked at seven different federal prisons and in almost every conceivable role. Robert lives in Kingston Ontario. Before drafting questions for this podcast, students read the “I’m very careful about that: narrative and agency of men in prison,” a 2006 article by the late John P. McKendy.”

Kilimanjaro, raising over $10K for Men Healing - a national organization dedicated to helping men heal from sexual victimization. Jordan now serves on the Board of MenHealing, acting as the Special Projects Manager. He also has a short YouTube video about his life experiences.

There have been three more deaths and 50 new cases of COVID-19 confirmed in BC since Saturday. BC's death count is 103. The total number of infected is just under 2000. There were no new cases or deaths reported in the Island Health region.Many of the new cases are linked to the outbreak at the federal medium-security prison in Mission. 118 inmates, almost a third of the prison population, along with 12 workers have tested positive for the virus over the past three weeks. Corrections Canada says it has taken the advice of provincial Health Authorities to manage the outbreak. Now, all inmates at the Mission institution will be tested. And, Corrections Canada has installed more hand-washing stations, provided more personal protective equipment and more disinfection of high-contact surfaces. The federal prison has come under fire from the union representing guards, and an inmates group, that has launched a class-action lawsuit, claiming Corrections Canada did little to prevent or control the spread of the virus. BC's Provincial Health Officer says a lapse in reporting to the local health authority meant the virus spread rapidly. Dr. Bonnie Henry says there were further challenges over differing opinions about infection control. The institution has since increased its nursing staff to provide 24/7 care and doctors are available seven days a week. The Mission outbreak sits in stark contrast to the outbreak of one inmate at the provincially run Okanagan Detention Center. That outbreak was declared "over" more than a week ago. BC's Minister of Health praised officials at the Okanagan facility. Adrian Dix says he hopes to share the healthcare model for BC prisons with other jurisdictions.The Provincial Health Officer says she has not set a date for when BC school classrooms might re-open. Dr. Bonnie Henry says she is not considering opening schools over the summer. However, she says some elementary school children, whose parents work, may see some open classrooms in the coming weeks. Henry says any classroom re-openings would be small scale, while the province creates a much larger plan for the fall. The Minister of Education is planning to speak tomorrow, about what schools are doing in the meantime.Written and reported by Lisa Cordasco.

There have been two more deaths from COVID-19 in BC, bringing the total to 50. Both deaths were seniors in hospitals on the lower mainland. There are now 1370 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in BC with 34 new cases reported in the past 24 hours. There has been one new case in the Vancouver Island health region, bringing our total to 82.However, the Provincial Health Officer's update did not mention 14 cases of the virus at the Mission Correctional Center. That's because Dr. Bonnie Henry does not have jurisdiction over federal institutions. The medium-security federal prison is in lockdown as a result of the outbreak. The Corrections Canada website is reporting one COVID case at its Pacific Regional Treatment Centre in Abbotsford, but no further tests are pending there. Prison advocates say federal institutions could have contained the outbreak with more rigorous testing and earlier isolation. Unconfirmed reports say inmates at Matsqui prison are also showing symptoms, but they are not being tested and their temperatures are not being monitored.The City of Nanaimo is taking steps to ease the burden on taxpayers during the pandemic. Utility payments issued after March the 17th have been deferred from 30 days to 90 days. There is a five per cent discount if the bill is paid within 90 days. The city says it's considering a deferral on property taxes, which would be due in July, and it may reduce any penalties for late payments. BC residents can start signing up for some assistance programs that were announced last month. However, you will need confirmation you are eligible for federal COVID-19 assistance first. Once confirmed, you can apply for three month's worth of free BC Hydro on its website. You can also apply for a $500 dollar a month reduction in rent on the BC Housing website. However, the BC Emergency Benefit of $1000 is not open for applications yet, but you can sign up to be notified when it does.

Guest: Dr. Daniel Pauly Principal Investigator of the Sea Around Us initiative at UBC   Chapter 4 Conservative leader Andrew Scheer responds to questions about Clement's resignation after sextortion case Conservative leader Andrew Scheer was asked if there was there a specific allegation that lead to Clement's resignation from caucus, or was it due to all the social media chatter after Clement admitted to sending explicit pictures and video of himself to who he assumed was a consenting adult? Within the last half hour, Clement issued a letter of apology to constituents which revealed there was more than one incident in question. How does Scheer reassure the public that the Conservative Party had no prior to knowledge that this type of behaviour from Clement had occured? Scheer was then asked how he planned to move the Conservative Party forward after such a n embarrassing scandal? Will Scheer have to set boundaries for his party members about what is and what is not appropriate? In his letter to constituents, Clement revealed that he had notified Ontario police in the summer about a similar incident. Scheer was then asked if he had received assurances from Clement that he hasn't been compromised in his work between then and now? Finally, Scheer was asked who sought the RCMP to conduct an investigation? Was it Scheer? Was it Clement?

 Ian talks about leadership, why attitude is so important, why misery is a choice, consistency and why he’s an unapologetic nerd.  Biography Since his years in high school, Ian Tyson has never shied away from the stage. From drama productions to his many years as a student leader, performing and motivating have always gone hand in hand. Ian has parlayed his passion for comedy and entertaining with his desire to inspire change in others into a 25+ year career as one of the top speakers in North America. The middle child of 3 kids, Ian grew up in St. Thomas, Ontario where he still makes his home and is the proud father of two teenagers. Ian draws much of his inspiration from tales of his childhood. From the humorous: Recess! Eating paste, and playing superheroes, to the touching: how we define our friends, and dealing with the loss of his mother at the age of 10. Combine this with his extensive training in leadership and a more than-healthy dose of pop-culture references and you have the recipe for Ian's presentations and workshops. Ian holds a degree in English from Carleton University where he trained to one day become a teacher. However, since he had been speaking to students since the end of his own high school career, he saw a chance and made his speaking career a full time venture. He was the co-founder of Youth Leadership Camps Canada (YLCC) in 1992, and it remains one of the top leadership training programs in Canada. He has worked with student leadership organizations across North America and has been a keynote speaker and workshop facilitator at both CSLC and NASC National Conferences. Ian has presented at national, provincial/state and regional conferences for CADA, SADD, OSAID, 4-H, FFA, HOBY, COLS, ICAA, and CAIS among others. For 4 years, Ian sat on the board of directors for The Canadian Student Leadership Association (CSLA) as a "Director at Large" and was named the Ontario "Leader of Distinction" in 2009 for his outstanding contributions to student leadership. Ian continues to speak to schools, working with educators, parents and conferences across North America, as well as working at corporate events, conducting team and trust building workshops and becoming a talented event MC. His past clients have included companies like; Bell Canada, Union Gas, The Home Builders Association, Jostens, The City of Surrey, Professional Advisors, Corrections Canada, London Life, The Committee of Youth Officers and The National Character Education Conference. Ian now enjoys a career as one of North America's Top Speakers; working with both students and adults in a variety of venues. His first book "Hooray For Everything!: The Optimist Manifesto" is now available, and has been very well received across North America. He has self-produced a successful podcast interview series "Ian Tyson's PositiveCast" which has Ian discussing life, success and positive attitude with people from all walks of life.  To book Ian for your next conference, event or assembly, please click here. ---------- For more information about my podcasting, writing and public speaking please visit my site here.  With thanks to producer Josh Snethlage and Mixed Media Sound.    See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
