Maurice Gatien - May 18, 2023 - Ottawa, Ontario

Maurice Gatien, a lawyer and real estate agent, cautions people about surrendering their rights, "So when we give up rights, when we treat people as “the other,” as we saw, these are very troubling tendencies in society. And when these institutions of trust—like law societies, like colleges of physicians—go in a direction, a lot of people take it as a cue that, well, it must be all right. And there wasn’t the critical thinking that was applied."
