In today’s Big Story podcast, amid the current rhetoric around protests across Canada, it’s worth examining what successful, peaceful protest looks like, and what we can learn from it. It took more than half a decade, work by Indigenous women and leaders and non-Indigenous allies. It took a deep understanding of treaties and laws and relentless positive commitment.

GUEST: Cheryl Maloney, protest leader, M’ikmaq woman, former national environment coordinator for the Native Women’s Association of Canada
