Professor Bruce Pardy in conversation with Nadine Wellwood
Will the push for recognition of Indigenous rights lead to a fracturing of the rule of law and societal cohesion? The current legal framework treats Indigenous peoples as a distinct group with special rights. Prof. Pardy looks at how this undermines the principle of equality before the law and why recognizing different identities perpetuates divisions, which he argues is a fundamental error in addressing land claims and rights. The culture in Canada has evolved into a new, mixed identity, he says, and the law should reflect this reality rather than cling to outdated notions of separate peoples. Prof. Pardy joins entrepreneur and former political candidate, Nadine Wellwood, to engage in a jam-packed conversation on a range of topics, from the Cowichan Tribes’ Aboriginal title ruling in Richmond, B.C., to Alberta’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Canadian federal government, and much more.
