A Saskatchewan grandmother who was confronted by a farmer with a gun says changing trespassing laws probably won’t stop crime but could increase racial tension. Angela Bishop, a Métis lawyer, was driving on a rural road in Alberta in September with her two grandchildren who are visibly Indigenous. Officers told her that, in fact, it was a public road and she could be there. Sunchild said the throne speech sends the message that the farmer was right to shoot the Indigenous man and that trespassing fears are justified. Sunchild wonders what advice she would give her own children if they have car trouble or need help on a rural road.
