With now eight years to reflect and look back, Canada’s so-called ‘security measures’ adopted within the climate of the post-September 11, 2001, ‘war against terrorism’ have inarguably shown that racialized groups - primarily Muslims, Arabs and those that are perceived to be Muslims or Arabs - have been scapegoated and marginalized in the name of national security.
This podcast recounts some of the abuses that Canada is currently committing in the name of ‘national security’.
Interviews include:
Canadian Arab Federation Director Mohamed Boudjenane
