Our impressive roster of panelists will draw on their respective fields of expertise to try to dismantle many Canadian my ths which contribute to rendering anti-blackness invisible and deniable in Canada today. Is race an “issue of the past” or does it remain salient in contemporary Canadian society? What are the untold historical roots to an ti-blackness in Canada? In what ways does systemic racism and discriminati on manifest itself in a society in which egalitarian values such as libert y\, justice\, and fairness seem to prevail? Are we really much “better off ” than our southern neighbours? How can Black people overcome these variou s obstacles and strive in Canadian society? Such fundamental questions req uire a strong diagnostic\, dialogue\, input and debate and this panel disc ussion will set the stage for it!\n\nCome out with an open mind ready to l earn more about the realities of Black people in Canadian society through a respectful dialogue.\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n The Hon.
