The Narwhal and Amber Bracken are suing the RCMP for wrongful arrest. Officers held Bracken for multiple days after raiding a Wet'suwet'en land defender camp in unceded territory. It's one of the most consequential cases for press freedom in Canada... so what's the deal with the lack of coverage? This week, Ethan cox, co-founder and editor at Ricochet Media and Camilo Ruiz, independent journalist who has covered every day of the trial for his Instagram, join Scott to discuss the wider context of the case, the limitations of court decisions and why it's important to hold the RCMP to task.
