Season 2 Episode 05: Cease-and-Desist
The Legacy of Abuse Podcast
Today’s episode is a little different than usual, because instead of a guest, we’re featuring our very own cease-and-desist letter. Yes, we were legally threatened by a former leader at our old church who quietly moved away, rebranded themselves, and started their own church. We read you parts of the letter, break it down, and discuss: so tune in if you want a good laugh. Apparently accountability didn’t make the relocation move.

Season 2 Episode 04: The John Olubobokun Sentencing
The Legacy of Abuse Podcast
This week on the podcast, we dive into the long-overdue sentencing of John Olubobokun: the former private Christian school director who racked up nine counts of assault with a weapon while insisting he “operates by God’s law, not man’s law.” Spoiler alert: man’s law absolutely had its turn, and it came with a sentencing decision he couldn’t pray his way out of. This is also the same guy who told the courtroom, “Only God can judge me,” right before learning that judges, in fact, judge for a living. And if that isn’t enough, we also get into the shocking incident that went down...

Bonus Episode Christmas 2025: 1989 and The Education Act
The Legacy of Abuse Podcast
Join us for a special holiday episode as we rewind to 1980s Saskatchewan, when the hair was big, accountability was apparently optional, and one parent decided to challenge truancy laws because their child was attending an illegal school. Festive. We unpack what the court actually said about compulsory attendance, because “we tried our best,” personal beliefs, and creative loopholes don’t override The Education Act. Attendance isn’t a suggestion, and it doesn’t become optional just because enforcement was inconsistent or oversight was asleep at the wheel. We translate the legal...

Season 2 Episode 03: A Stay of Action
The Legacy of Abuse Podcast
Join us this week as we try to unravel whatever the hell just happened in civil court. Apparently, our class action lawsuit has been stayed for “abuse of process”, which, fun fact: is a reason no judge in Saskatchewan has ever used before. So basically we’re out here setting legal precedents we never asked for, while the justice system free-styles like it’s had three glasses of wine at brunch.
