About this listen
Why does the justice system show compassion for some trauma — but not for others? In this episode of Unwritten Chapters, I explore the unequal application of empathy in Canadian courts. From PTSD and veteran struggles to the racial lens of the Gladue ruling, this is a raw breakdown of how pain is politicized — and why true justice must include all stories.
We’ll cover:
The real impact of Gladue Reports and racial bias in sentencing
Why veterans with PTSD, first responders, and white addicts are often criminalized — not contextualized
What the media got wrong about the Kamloops 215 mass grave narrative
How trauma is not race-bound — and why selective empathy isn’t justice
👉 Whether you’ve felt ignored, misjudged, or erased — this episode is for you.
