‘Policing Black Lives’ book looks at Canada’s problems with anti-black racism
We Canadians like to think we’re a tolerant and progressive people, especially when compared to our neighbours to the south.
However, the author of a new book argues we aren’t exactly in a position to lecture anyone when it comes to racism.
“It’s absolutely endemic, really, in Canadian society,” explains Robyn Maynard, author of Policing Black Lives: State Violence in Canada from Slavery to the Present.
She says racism knows no borders, and Canada has its own problems with anti-black racism.
