Where will Tina Fontaine's family find justice? MI 104

On  this week's roundtable: A tale of two trials. Late last week, a jury found the man accused of murdering 15-year old Tina Fontaine to be "not guilty." The decision dealt another blow to those still processing the acquittal of the man once charged with the murder of 22-year-old Colten Boushie.

Our roundtable is among those still working to process these court decisions, trying to make sense of how the Canadian justice system is seemingly incapable of producing anything remotely resembling resolution for the families of two young Indigenous people taken far too soon. We’ll discuss how things got to this point, the response to the verdict and where else justice might be found for Tina and Colten if not the courts.

Joining host Rick Harp at the roundtable are Brock Pitawanakwat,  assistant professor of Indigenous studies at the University of Sudbury,  and Ken Williams, assistant professor with the University of Alberta's  department of drama.
