HE SUED THEM. NOW HE’S RUNNING.
With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Roger Song
He challenged the Law Society of Alberta in court. Now he's running to help govern it. Lawyer Roger Song, who grew up under Communist China and was once a member of the Chinese Communist Party, discusses his campaign to become a Law Society bencher, his opposition to mandatory cultural competence training, and recent changes to Alberta's professional regulations. Allan and Corri explore his extraordinary journey from China to Canada, his conversion to Christianity, and why he believes freedom of conscience and the rule of law must be defended.
