Closer Look (formerly Inside the Village) - Insightful, credible, unfiltered conversations that matter
Is the justice system broken? We ask a judge
A rare chance to draw back the curtain this week on Inside the Village as Frisco and Scott go one-on-one with retired Ontario judge Norm Douglas. After years as a respected prosecutor who then served on the bench, Douglas has penned his first book: You Be The Judge. Inspired by the visits he used to make to high school classes, the book recounts the details of 24 cases from his career — and asks the reader to decide. In a wide-ranging interview, Douglas shares his thoughts on numerous hot-button topics, from the state of the country’s bail system to Premier Doug’s pursuit of “tough” and “like-minded” judges. On a less serious note, we also discuss what “Stormin’ Norman” does for fun: impersonate Elvis. Also on the podcast: a love story 75 years in the making.
