Don’t miss our next Off the Hill political panel, happening February 15 at 7:30 PM ET / 4:30 PM PT.
Black History Month is our lens for a dive into critical issues facing us in Canada this month. This includes the privatization of health care in federal-provincial agreements and the ongoing space right wing sentiment has in mainstream culture (from the response to Canada’s first Islamophobia commissioner, to Jordan Peterson appearing in Ottawa). Our panel will dig into some of the initiatives happening across the country to address systemic racism and inequality.
