Conversation Fuelled: Police Killings and Whitest Place

conversation fuelled: It evident here, too, according to Metro News. Black Lives Matter organizers drew the ire of Canadians who imagined we'd somehow escaped the U.S. anti-black bias; the Missing and Murdered Women and Girls inquiry underlines the extreme violence white women just don't see; the killing of an indigenous man by a white farmer in Saskatchewan sparked racial tensions in that province into flame.I also feel it in myself.I was raised in Victoria, a city I've long imagined could be the whitest place in Canada. It evident most noisily in America, where a conversation fuelled by police killings of black Americans, cross-bred with the Republican Party typical play for white Christian votes, under the toxic orange glow of Donald Trump, mutated into an ungainly, vitriolic, spitting monster. I grew up devoid of any sophisticated sense of race. Equality among us was assumed, as was our Canadian immigrant identities and their neutral impact on the country. The sprinkling of diversity in my schools went largely unnoticed, as innocuous as the odd birch in a forest of cedar. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
