The first Indigenous head of the Canadian Bar Association was a law school student in his mid-20s when he met his grandfather and learned he'd survived a "horrible" existence at a residential school in Saskatchewan.
"I could barely finish what I was saying," said Regehr, who was adopted by a non-Indigenous family during the so-called Sixties Scoop and met his biological family, including his birth mother, about five years before her death. "If anyone thinks there isn't systemic discrimination within this profession then they're being wilfully blind," Regehr said, adding change needs to start by firms examining their inherent bias, which could enable them to recruit more Indigenous staff.
Interesting that the '...hire more indigenous lawyers' is considered the most suitable headline considering the context of the entire story.
There needs to be qualified people for that to happen!
Lol Yeah... Desperate to uphold the de facto only nature of law here.
No matter if they are qualified or not.whitemanbad
👏👍👏I love It, bring on the First Nations lawyers you worked hard to become a lawyer. Which is awesome.
This is just racism in another form. Had we not hired Tam based on racism reasons, Canada would have not ended up with all the lock downs and deaths. To be honest, don't be surprised if we end up learning more about her real face via the US investigation.
Should jobs not be based on merit? 🤔. Asking for a lawyer friend.
Canada would be better off if we just stopped hiring lawyers.
Trudeau hired Patty Hadju. She’s a graphics designer and went into her job without experience. This is the idea isn’t it? Yes ppl who enable corrupt agendas.
