The Rundown

Ten years after Ontario passed legislation aimed at addressing sexual violence on college and university campuses, questions remain about its impact. What protections does the law provide, how have post-secondary institutions responded, and what can students expect when they come forward with an allegation? Then, in an era where sexual-assault allegations are debated not only in the media but across social platforms, who has the right to privacy, and what does the public have a right to know? We explore the challenges of campus safety, accountability, and anonymity with Farrah Khan, CEO of Possibility Seeds; Jillian Sunderland, a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at the University of Toronto; and Dreeni Geer, executive director of the Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic.Donate Today : https://tvo.me/

Then, University of Toronto law professor Kent Roach explains what ICE agents can and cannot do in Canada. Finally, immigration law scholar Audrey Macklin discusses whether Canada's relationship with the United States, including the Safe Third Country Agreement, makes it complicit in a system facing growing international scrutiny.Donate Today : https://tvo.me/
