In 2016, a 56 year old Saskatchewan farmer named Gerald Stanley shot an unarmed 22 year-old Indigenous trespasser named Coulten Boushie in the back of the head. Stanley was acquitted of murder in 2018 — and nobody was happy.Indigenous people considered the verdict proof positive of racial bias in the courts and a tacit declaration of open season on Indigenous people, including hunters, who take their lives in their hands when they exercise their treaty rights to access land.Meanwhile, rural settlers in Saskatchewan formed a facebook group called Farmers with Firearms to protest slow RCMP response times to what they considered a growing epidemic of rural crime. 8500 people joined, and the comment section was filled with anti-Indigenous rhetoric and vows to exercise vigilante justice on anyone who sets foot on their property.How do these two seemingly irreconcilable groups… reconcile?Some Saskatchewan farmers and Indigenous hunters are trying to figure that out. As you might expect, reconciliation isn't always easy.Freelance reporter Kerry Benjoe brings you this true story from Saskatchewan, on this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Kerry Benjoe (Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further Reading: The Treaty Land Sharing NetworkThe Gerald Stanley Case — The Canadian EncyclopediaSponsors: Article, Elijah Craig, RotmanIf you value this podcast, support us!

Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History)
In this podcast episode, Nicole O'Byrne talks to Kent Roach about his book, Canadian Justice, Indigenous Injustice: The Gerald Stanley and Colten Boushie Case, published by McGill-Queen's University Press in 2019. In August 2016, Colten Boushie, a twenty-two-year-old Cree man from Red Pheasant First Nation, was fatally shot on a Saskatchewan farm by white farmer Gerald Stanley. In a trial that bitterly divided Canadians, Stanley was acquitted of both murder and manslaughter by a jury in Battleford with no visible Indigenous representation. In Canadian Justice, Indigenous Injustice, Kent Roach critically reconstructs the Gerald Stanley/Colten Boushie case to examine how it may be a miscarriage of justice. Roach provides historical, legal, political, and sociological background to the case including misunderstandings over crime when Treaty 6 was negotiated. Kent Roach is a professor of law at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law. A thoughtful and prolific author, he has worked on over 13 collections of essays, over a dozen books, and approximately 300 articles on a wide range of topics including criminal law, policing, terrorism, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom. Kent has won numerous research and teaching prizes and has been appointed a Member of the Order of Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. This podcast is produced by Jessica Schmidt.

Episode 256: Colten Boushie was a 22-year-old Indigenous man from the Red Pheasant First Nation in Saskatchewan, Canada, who was shot and killed on a farm near Biggar, Saskatchewan, on August 9, 2016. His death received widespread attention and led to a national conversation in Canada about systemic racism and the treatment of Indigenous peoples in the criminal justice system. The trial and acquittal of the farmer who was charged with Boushie's death, a man named Gerald Stanley, also sparked controversy and led to calls for reforms in the Canadian justice system.

Following Stanley's acquittal, the Boushie family launched a civil lawsuit against the RCMP and made a complaint to the RCMP oversight body, the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission (CRCC). This week the CRCC released its report into those complaints, concluding that the RCMP engaged in racial discrimination and illegal conduct But even more troubling is that it seems the RCMP destroyed evidence and maybe even obstructed justice.Remember, you can self-isolate in The Docket's Discord chatroom.

The killing of Colten Boushie and the trial of Gerald Stanley raised concerns about rural crime and racism across Canada. But the RCMP also faced scrutiny from the start, and new reports offer condemnation of how police handled the homicide investigation, and how they treated Boushie’s family. Saskatoon Star Phoenix reporter Thia James walks through why these reviews were conducted what the reports into the RCMP investigation dug up, and what it means to Boushie’s family.

On this episode of the podcast, Hilary Young and Robert Danay are joined by constitutional litigator and self-styled "Blackademic," Joshua Sealy-Harrington. The discussion primarily centred on the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Chouhan, which was a constitutional challenge to Bill C-75, a law that removed the ability of an accused (or a prosecutor) to remove potential jurors peremptorily. This law was passed in the aftermath of Gerald Stanley's controversial acquittal in the murder of Colton Boushie, a 22-year old Indigenous man in Saskatchewan. Joshua represented the intervener BC Civil Liberties Association in Chouhan. The discussion also touched on the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Fraser v. Canada (Attorney General), 2020 SCC 28, which was a constitutional challenge to an aspect of the RCMP's statutory pension scheme that disproportionately affected women. It was the first decision in which the Court found an unjustifiable breach of the right to equality in s. 15 of the Charter on the basis of "adverse impact" discrimination. In obiter dicta, Hilary recommended the songs of Tom Lehrer, which the math professor/satirical musician recently released into the public domain. Rob recommended the CBC show You Can't Ask That! and Joshua recommended The Alchemy of Race and Rights by Patricia J. Williams. Find us on Twitter and Facebook!

On this episode of Face to Face, Hubbard explains the changes she has seen in the film sector.
In 2018, the public outcry around the Gerald Stanley case, where a white farmer was acquitted in the killing of Colton Boushie, a young Indigenous man, paved the way for the creation of Bill C-75. It's legislation meant to address racism in the jury selection process. But some say it actually does the opposite. The dispute made its way to the country's highest court this week. And while the court upheld the law, opinions remain divided on its usefulness. Today, we hear from two lawyers with different points of view on this jury reform legislation. Peter Thorning and Caitlyn Kasper both intervened in this week's hearings. Thorning represented the Canadian Association for Black Lawyers, and Kasper represented Aboriginal Legal Services.
Colten Boushie was shot by white farmer Gerald Stanley as he was sitting in a vehicle with friends. The story polarized the nation -- especially when Stanley was found not-guilty of the crime. Now, the Boushie family has launched a two million dollar lawsuit against Stanley and the RCMP. Rob Smith presents Justice for Colten, originally aired Mar 16, 2018.

RE-POST: While we work on our next episode, we're re-releasing some of our earlier stuff. This is a re-edit of a discussion we had in 2018 about the books Birdie by Tracy Lindberg and The Break by Katherena Vermette. We explore reading these fabulous Indigenous women as settlers in Canada/Turtle Island, what this does in the larger picture for decolonization, and how to connect fiction to our responsibilities as settlers and treaty people. Content Warning: Both books deal with trauma and violence against women and indigenous peoples and land. We don't discuss the plots in too much depth, but the material is still heavy to deal with. This was recorded a few months after Gerald Stanley was acquitted of the murder or Colton Bouchie and the purchase by the Trudeau government of the Trans Mountain Pipeline, both of which heavily shaped our discussion. Here are some additional resources to expand what we talk about here: https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/ https://yellowheadinstitute.org/ https://reviewcanada.ca/magazine/2018/06/temporary-spaces-of-joy-and-freedom/
Colten Boushie was a 22-year-old Cree man from Red Pheasant First Nation. Gerald Stanley is the white Saskatchewan farmer who shot and killed him when Boushie and a group of friends trespassed on his property one August afternoon in 2016. That afternoon, and the second-degree murder trial that followed it, polarized the province. Filmmaker Tasha Hubbard chronicled the family's story and situates it within a larger one - colonial violence, intergenerational trauma, and intergenerational resistance.
Award-winning APTN Investigates reporter Rob Smith hit the ground just after the decision in Gerald Stanley’s trial that perplexed and divided the nation. We talk about what it was like behind the scenes of the coverage.
Last February, APTN News broke the story of racist social media comments by an RCMP officer who posted that Colten Boushie, the 22-year-old Cree man shot and killed by Gerald Stanley, “got what he deserved.” Trina Roache got the tip from another police officer who was disgusted to see dozens of racist comments about Indigenous people on a Facebook group for RCMP. Trina takes us behind the scenes of that story, and talks about why exposing these stories are important.
The trial of Gerald Stanley, and the arrest of Eddie Maurice brought the issue of rural crime to the forefront in 2018. Amid the discussion last year, many residents in rural communities said they were worried about an increase in property crime, and an overtaxed RCMP that may not be able to respond to calls in far-flung areas. We sat down to talk about at what drove these concerns, how police were trying to respond, and how rural residents took action.

On this week's episode, the second-last show in our Summer Series, we revisit the troubling death of Colten Boushie—the 22-year old member of the Red Pheasant First Nation shot and killed back in August of 2016 by a then-54-year-old white farmer named Gerald Stanley. Featured voices this episode include (in order of appearance): Documentarian and University of Saskatchewan assistant professor of English, Tasha Hubbard, as well as Chris Andersen, then-interim dean at the University of Alberta’s faculty of Native Studies; Ken Williams, an assistant professor with the University of Alberta's department of drama, and, Brock Pitawanakwat, assistant professor of Indigenous studies at the University of Sudbury. Music this podcast includes two compositions by Welcome Wizard off their lunachild album: we heard the tracks “12 Diseases” and “Nautical Fistula.” We also heard the track “Endeavour” by Jahzzar.

Two recent cases show a troubling trend on the part of the police in reacting to Canadians defending their property and families. When an armed gang roared on to the farm of Gerald Stanley, attempted to steal vehicles, and assaulted his wife, Stanley responded by shooting dead one of the home invaders. When Peter Khill found a man on his driveway trying to steal his truck and believed the thief was raising a gun, Khill shot and killed him.
The acquittal of Gerald Stanley in the shooting of Colten Boushie sparked outrage across Canada. The anger was further fuelled by the fact that the jury was all white, in a community that had a significant Indigenous population. After the Gerald Stanley verdict, the government proposed sweeping changes to the legal system in Bill C-75. The legal community has been divided on these proposed changes - some say they are an important first step to make juries more diverse, while other say they will actually make things worse. Kent Roach, chair of law and public policy at the University of Toronto, talks about the legal mechanism that lets this happen. Roseanne Sylvester tells the story of her brother, Donald Marshall Jr., a Mi'kmaq man who was wrongfully convicted by and all-white jury decades ago.
In episode #266 of Talking Radical Radio (April 17, 2018), Scott Neigh interviews Prescott Demas, a Dakota man, originally from Chanupa Wakpa and currently living in Regina. He was one of a number of Indigenous people and allies who, in the wake of the acquittals of Gerald Stanley and Raymond Cormier in February, set up the Justice for Our Stolen Children Camp in a park across from the Saskatchewan legislature. They talk about the verdicts, about the camp, and about what needs to happen for us to truly begin moving towards justice.

Gerald Stanley and the castle narrative, a Policy Options podcast. A complex narrative has emerged in defence of Gerald Stanley, who was recently acquitted of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Colten Boushie, a 22 year-old Cree man, in Saskatchewan. According to this narrative, the incident had nothing to do with race, but was rather a matter of a farmer protecting his land and family – defending "his castle." Gina Starblanket joined the podcast to explain how this perspective is intimately tied to the history of displacement and settlement on the Prairies, and throughout Canada. Starblanket is a professor in the native studies and women’s and gender studies departments at the University of Manitoba. She is Cree/Saulteaux and a member of the Star Blanket Cree Nation in Treaty 4 territory in Saskatchewan. Download for free. New episodes every second Tuesday.

The jury in the Colten Boushie murder trial had ample evidence to convict Gerald Stanley of manslaughter for careless use of a firearm, according to lawyer Tom Rees. The fact that they chose instead to acquit speaks to the racism indigenous people face at all levels of the criminal justice system. Tom Rees is a Winnipeg criminal defence lawyer who has represented a large number of indigenous clients.

One of dozens of protests and vigils held by Indigenous groups across Canada protesting the "not guilty" verdict. PHOTO-CBC It's a trial and decision that is dividing Canada Saskatchewan farmer Gerald Stanley was accused of second degree murder after a group of young adults came onto his property and one of them ended up shot and killed. The farmer said it was an accident, and after long deliberation, the jury came back with a 'not guilty" verdict. Indigenous groups said it was proof the justice system was biased against them. Marc spoke with the head of the Criminal Lawyers Association of Ontario, Michael Lacy, who said though people didn't like the verdict, there was nothing wrong with the trial, and the Prime Ministers comments about the verdict were also out of place. Sears Canada paid billions in dividends to investors at the same time as sales and profits were dropping and the pension plan was going into deficit, say pensioners. (Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press/file) Employees of what had been an iconic Canadian retailer had been concerned for years that the company pension fund was underfunded. This was even as the company was paying big dividends to shareholders. The company went bankrupt and now ex-employees are going to court to get some of that money back.The pensioners want to recover some of the $2.9 billion dividend payments made between 2005 and 2013, much of it from the sale of Sears Canada assets including prime real estate. The pension fund for some 16,000 ex-employees want to recover the $270-million shortfall in the pension fund, and about $400 million in unpaid health and life-insurance benefits.

Not a fun episode this week.On Friday Gerald Stanley was acquitted of murdering Colten Boushie. People are often acquitted of serious crimes but this case was different. Boushie was a young indigenous man. Stanley was a white farmer. Boushie's friends said that they had some car trouble and went to the Stanley farm for help. Then Stanley murdered Boushie - for no real reason. Stanley said that Boushie was trying to steal some of his property and he accidentally shot him. So the best case scenario is that a white farmer shot a young indigenous man over some property.But there was more to the story. The night Boushie was killed the RCMP treated his family like they had done something wrong. In the aftermath of the killing "rural crime" - a dog whistle for indigenous people - was a hot topic in the Canadian Prairie. And then as the trial began the Stanley defence team used their peremptory jury challenges to exclude every potential indigenous juror. An all white jury acquitted a white farmer of killing an indigenous youth.There was justifiable outrage and questions about racial bias in the justice system,The Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice tweeted their outrage and sadness. Those tweets also attracted scrutiny - the government should not be commenting on the outcomes of individual court cases. The government should take action to fix problems in the justice system but so far the Trudeau Government has chosen tweets over legislation.This week we break down the Stanley verdict, talk about the jury selection process, and look at what can be done to make sure there is justice in the justice system.

This episode goes inside the courtroom during the first week of Stanley's murder trial as witnesses — including Gerald Stanley's son and Boushie's friends — testify about what they say happened on the farm the day Boushie was killed.
In 2016 Colten Boushie, a young Indigenous man, was shot and killed on a farm in rural Saskatchewan, polarizing the province along racial lines. In this episode we'll tell you what we know about that man and the night he was killed. We'll also tell you about the white farmer, Gerald Stanley, who was charged with Boushie's death.
Senseless, tragic and disturbing: words that rush to mind upon hearing the news of last week’s killing of Colten Boushie. A 22-year-old resident of the Red Pheasant First Nation in western Canada, Boushie was shot to death after he and four other Indigenous young people drove onto the property of 54-year-old, non-Indigenous farmer Gerald Stanley in hopes of getting help with a flat tire. What happened next is still under investigation, but that hasn’t stopped some from drawing and sharing their own hurtful and hateful conclusions via social media. Our guests this week both hail from Saskatchewan: Tasha Hubbard is a documentarian and assistant professor of English at the University of Saskatchewan; Chris Andersen is interim dean at the University of Alberta’s faculty of Native Studies. They share their thoughts as to what Boushie's death—and its contentious aftermath—might tell us about the state of Indigenous/non-Indigenous relations in that province and beyond. // Our theme: 'nesting' by Birocratic.
