IDENTITY, JUSTICE & INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP (with Mélanie Vincent)
How do you turn a dream into a collective movement?
How do identity, culture, and law come together to create real impact?
​
In this episode of Sans Maître, in collaboration with the Observatory of Human Rights at the UN, Legal Sensus welcomes Mélanie Vincent, a member of the Wendat Nation, entrepreneur, founder of the KWE! – Meeting Indigenous Peoples Festival, and trainer at the First Nations Executive Education School.
​
From her beginnings in law to her leadership in governance and human rights, Mélanie has built a path where culture, entrepreneurship, and social justice intersect.
​
With her, we dive into:
-
The challenges and victories behind creating a festival that unites 11 Nations and 20,000 visitors.
-
The uniqueness of Indigenous leadership — and why so many women are its bearers.
-
The role of law: a tool for empowerment or an instrument of control?
-
Urgent issues: self-determination, land, social justice… and what Canada still has to learn.
-
Her perspective on the international stage — from the UN to class actions — and the concrete hopes that remain.
A rich, sometimes striking, always honest conversation — to better understand, question, and reinvent the bridges between Indigenous Peoples and Quebec society.
EDUCATE TO TRANSFORM (with Fabrice Vil)
Can we talk about crime without talking about ecosystems, inequality, and public health?
Is success measured by titles… or by the quality of the relationships we build?
​
In this episode of Sans Maître, Fabrice Vil — lawyer by training, social entrepreneur, founder of Pour 3 Points, columnist (Le Devoir, La Presse), author of Bon garçon, and new father — joins Charles-Antoine Hallé for an honest conversation about the meaning of success, the role of law, and what truly transforms lives.
​
We talk about:
-
Redefining success: shifting from an individualistic model toward collective contribution and solidarity.
-
Justice and youth: understanding violence and crime as public health issues, not just matters of public safety.
-
Pour 3 Points: from basketball to coaching as a way to equip young people — and the lessons learned from a major strategic shift.
-
Leaving legal practice (2013) for social engagement: doubts, a failed competition… and then the real beginning.
-
Fatherhood: disrupted schedules, renewed purpose — and the art of choosing the depth of relationships over their quantity.
-
Writing: from column writing to literature with Bon garçon — and what writing allows us to heal.

A human, unpretentious conversation where law meets real life: schools, neighbourhoods, Cité des Prairies, sneakers, and… baby bottles.
