About this listen
As people around the world react to the killing of Charlie Kirk, a vigil was held in Winnipeg this week for the American conservative activist. The CBC's Rosanna Hempel talked to people at the vigil, held at the Manitoba Legislature ground.
Meanwhile, Winnipeg criminal defence lawyer and author Zilla Jones says that vigil left her concerned for the community. She also explains why she’s demanding an apology from the prime minister and Manitoba's premier, after some Canadian politicians stood to honour Kirk.
Also on the podcast: videos of Kirk's shooting on Sept. 10 quickly circulated online. Laura Cavanagh, a registered psychotherapist and professor of behavioural sciences at Seneca Polytechnic, joins us to talk about the effect viewing graphic violence has on people, especially youth.
