In 2000, Canada passed the Modernization of Benefits and Obligations Act—a landmark law that formally recognized same-sex couples under federal statutes, a quiet but powerful shift that changed how queer relationships were seen and protected. In this episode, we meet writer and performer Steen Starr, whose art and activism captured the spirit of the time, and former MP Libby Davies, who was in Parliament when the Act was passed. Together, they reflect on the debates that shaped this milestone and the freedoms that came from it.

25 ans de reconnaissance : les couples de même sexe et la route vers l’égalité
En 2000, le Canada adoptait une loi historique qui reconnaissait enfin les couples de même sexe dans les textes fédéraux, un changement à la fois discret et profond, qui a transformé la façon dont les relations queer étaient vues et protégées. Dans cet épisode, on rencontre l’autrice et artiste Steen Starr, dont l’art et le militantisme ont marqué cette période, ainsi que l’ancienne députée Libby Davies, qui était au Parlement lors de l’adoption de la loi. Ensemble, elles reviennent sur ce tournant majeur et sur les libertés qui en ont découlé.
