you've been reluctant to comment on the
words and actions
of the u.s president but we do have
donald trump now calling for military
action against protesters we saw
protesters tear gas yesterday
to make way for a presidential photo op
i'd like to ask you what you think about
that and if you don't want to comment
what message do you think you're sending
we all watch in horror
and consternation what's going on in the
united states
it is a time to pull people together
but it is a time to listen it is a time
to learn what injustices continue
despite progress over years and decades
but it is a time for us as canadians
to recognize that we too have our
challenges
that black canadians and racialized
canadians
face discrimination as a lived reality
every
single day there is systemic
discrimination in canada which means our
systems
treat canadians of color canadians who
are racialized
differently than they do others
it is something that many of us don't
see
but it is something that is a lived
reality
for racialized canadians
you
