Dispersing the Fog - Ep 34 - SCC Strikes Mandatory Minimums, Guest Chief Edgar MacLeod on Policing

Adam Rodgers - Nova Scotia Lawyer

 

Nov 2, 2025 

The guest this week is former police chief Edgar MacLeod, who served in various police forces for 34 years, after which he became Executive Director of the Atlantic Police Academy. Chief MacLeod has a unique perspective on police structures in Canada, and shares his insights. 

 

This week, the Supreme Court of Canada handed down two important decisions. One affirmed the 'Good Samaritan' laws for drug overdose situations, and the other removed mandatory minimum jail sentences for those convicted of possessing or distributing child pornography. We analyze those decisions, as well as the political fallout. 

 

Before all that, the guys give their breakdowns of Game 7 between the Blue Jays and Dodgers, and the great sport of baseball.
