Podcast appearances and mentions of peter sankoff

As we continue to work towards a greener Canada, a big part of the plan is the ‘move' toward Electric Vehicles, with the Federal Government going so far as to have mandates for them. But, are these EV mandates actually reachable? We discuss with Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy. Next. Earlier this week, “Legal Aid Alberta” announced that its contract with the Province was terminated. What's behind this decision and how will this impact Albertans who use the service? We get the thoughts of Peter Sankoff, Professor of Law at the University of Alberta and Lead Counsel at Sankoff Criminal Law.   And finally, with Stampede kicking off, it's the perfect time to chat about the ‘business' of Stampede and how to make the most of the ten-day extravaganza! We catch up with Ellen Parker, CEO and Owner of “Parker PR” for some timely-tips to help make your ‘brand' shine during the “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”.

In Episode 90 of the Paw & Order podcast, hosts Camille Labchuk and Peter Sankoff discuss the groundbreaking Alberta Court of Appeal decision in R v Chen, in which Animal Justice was an intervenor. The appeal involves the appropriate approach to sentencing in criminal animal cruelty cases. The Court held that because animals are sentient beings that experience pain and suffering, crimes against them are crimes of violence and should be treated differently from property offences. In this episode, Camille and Peter also announce that the Paw & Order podcast is wrapping up at the end of 2021, after four wonderful years. The hosts give a heartfelt thanks to the incredible listeners, and everyone who came together to make the show possible, and reflect on some of the show's big accomplishments.

This episode of the Paw & Order podcast is brought to you LIVE from the 2021 Canadian Animal Law Conference, which was held virtually from October 1-3, 2021! Just like last year's conference, hosts Camille Labchuk, Peter Sankoff, and Jessica Scott-Reid took this special opportunity to come together to host an exciting show.

Episode 83 of the Paw & Order podcast features ALL three hosts: Camille Labchuk, Peter Sankoff, and Jessica Scott-Reid—who are back from their summer break! The show deep dives into an interesting dog custody case, Duboff v. Simpson, including some important comments made by the judge that could help influence future pet custody cases. The case involves two Toronto lawyers who fought for custody over a boxer named Layla. Under the law, pets are seen as merely property—making pet custody cases complex and often unpredictable.

In Episode 78 of the Paw & Order podcast, Camille Labchuk and Peter Sankoff go deep into top stories that are affecting animals right now from both Canada and across the globe. This include an exciting new announcement from the Canadian government that it will be moving away from toxicity tests on animals in an overhaul of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, Laurentian University killing about 200 innocent animals amid lab closures, two cases of a rare swine flu found in people in Manitoba, New Zealand ending the live export of animals by sea over animal welfare concerns, a Nova Scotia breeder acquitted of animal cruelty charges, Alberta ending funding for a group working to help businesses develop in the plant-based protein sector, the CFIA announcing new import rules for dogs, and the B.C. government continuing to kill wolves to “protect” caribou—when wolves aren’t even responsible for decline in caribou populations.

In episode 75 of the Paw & Order podcast, co-hosts Camille Labchuk and Peter Sankoff give an analysis of three Canadian dog abuse cases that are making headlines right now. This includes a case from Newfoundland involving man who was acquitted of cruelty charges because the court ruled he didn’t “wilfully” starve his beagles into emaciation, a puppy mill breeder acquitted of cruelty charges in Nova Scotia, and a dog abuse case being appealed in Alberta to determine appropriate sentencing. Animal Justice will seek leave to intervene in this important case to highlight what principles of sentencing actually matter to animals.

February 19, 2021 In this episode of the Paw & Order podcast, Camille Labchuk and Peter Sankoff catch up on what’s new, including Peter planning to attend an Animal Justice virtual event at Osgoode Hall, his new podcast with his daughter Penny, called Translating Criminal Law: Rated G airing its fourth episode, and a new...

In Episode 68 of the Paw & Order podcast, co-hosts Camille Labchuk and Peter Sankoff discuss an exciting new Senate bill called the Jane Goodall Act, that would outlaw the captivity of great apes and elephants, shut down the ivory trade, and give some animals legal representation in court. This groundbreaking legislation was recently introduced by the legendary Senator Murray Sinclair, who has proven to be both a hero for humans and animals alike.

Today, Karly takes you R v Khelawon, *the* seminal decision about the rule for admission of hearsay evidence.

Peter and Camille discuss legal efforts aimed at having animals considered to be victims of crimes, with the ability to provide a victim impact statement in court. The hosts debate whether this move is merely symbolic, or whether it advances protections for animals in a meaningful way.

Hosts Peter & Camille are back at it after a short summer vacation! There's a lot of animal news in the headlines, so this episode breaks it down. We discuss: Canadian Animal Law Conference tickets are now available, why no criminal charges were laid against the driver who ran down and killed activist Regan Russell outside Fearmans Pork slaughterhouse (and why police and prosecutors have a long history of giving the meat industry a free ride, while targeting animal advocates), a class action suit against the Cargill slaughterhouse in Alberta, for letting COVID-19 run wild amongst workers, animal Outlook's lawsuit in the wake of a fish farm investigation, new Zealand courts throwing out secretly-recorded video evidence of animal cruelty on a dairy farm, a California court ruling that the state's foie gras ban is constitutionally-compliant, two guilty pleas in last year's Alberta turkey farm occupation, and Spain and the Netherlands killing off a million minks following COVID-19 infections.

Hosts Peter & Camille are back at it after a short summer vacation! There's a lot of animal news in the headlines, so this episode breaks it down. We discuss: Canadian Animal Law Conference tickets are now available, why no criminal charges were laid against the driver who ran down and killed activist Regan Russell outside Fearmans Pork slaughterhouse (and why police and prosecutors have a long history of giving the meat industry a free ride, while targeting animal advocates), a class action suit against the Cargill slaughterhouse in Alberta, for letting COVID-19 run wild amongst workers, animal Outlook's lawsuit in the wake of a fish farm investigation, new Zealand courts throwing out secretly-recorded video evidence of animal cruelty on a dairy farm, a California court ruling that the state's foie gras ban is constitutionally-compliant, two guilty pleas in last year's Alberta turkey farm occupation, and Spain and the Netherlands killing off a million minks following COVID-19 infections.

This episode is dedicated to animal advocate Regan Russell, who was tragically run over and killed by a transport truck bringing pigs to be killed the at Fearmans Pork slaughterhouse in Burlington, Ontario. Regan regularly attended vigils outside the slaughterhouse with the Animal Save Movement, and was protesting Ontario's ag gag laws the day she was killed. In the main segment, Camille speaks with renowned biologist and animal behaviour expert Dr. Marc Bekoff about animal sentience, who rips apart claims that animals can't think or feel, recently from farm lobby group the Ontario Federation of Agriculture.

In the face of opposition from legal scholars, animal rights advocates, and associations of journalists, Ontario has now passed unconstitutional ag-gag laws, an attempt to silence whistleblowers who expose animal cruelty. Nate speaks with Animal Justice lawyer Camille Labchuk and University of Alberta law professor Peter Sankoff about efforts in Ontario and across our country to hide animal cruelty on farms. Check out Camille and Peter's own podcast Paw and Order and donate to the efforts of Animal Justice to strike down these unconstitutional laws at animaljustice.caThis episode is dedicated to Regan Russell, a kind and passionate animal rights advocate who was fatally hit by a pig transport truck while protesting the new ag-gag laws outside of a slaughterhouse. We need more people like Regan in the world, those who dedicate so much of their lives to the pursuit of justice for others. She put herself in harm's way to help animals in distress, and it is hard to accept that she lost her life bearing witness to animal cruelty mere days after Ontario's legislature moved to make her activism criminal.

Camille is joined by special guest host Jessica Scott-Reid, Canada's most prolific journalist covering animal protection issues. Jessica speaks about her work writing about animal rights and issues, how she got onto the animal beat, the importance of getting stories about animals into mainstream media publications, and how you, too, can contribute to the public conversation by writing letters to the editor.

So, episode 108 - a new record. But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast - right? You should.I has been a frustrating week.We start with a discussion about the protests that have swept the world following the tragic murder of George Floyd by the police and the hypocrisy of politicians.Speaking of politicians, we move on to talk about the misrepresentations about a recent Ontario Court of Appeal case that found the Criminal Code' prohibition on the defence of extreme intoxication unconstitutional. It all started with headlines that falsely claimed that the Court of Appeal ruled that being drunk was a defence to sexual assault. The NDP started a petition, and again misrepresented the issue. The issue is complicated. The constitutional considerations are intricate. And sexual violence is a big problem. But misrepresentations can do damage - so we break it all down.We end thing off taking about a recent Supreme Court of Canada case on dial-a-dop entrapment schemes. Should police detect crimes or create them?Remember, you can self-isolate in The Docket's Discord chatroom.

Martina recently spoke at the Canadian Animal Law Conference about some of the incredible legal progress for animals that she has made in Austria and Europe, and her interview is a must-listen.
