Liberals set to talk about racism in Canada

[Wazzzup]

OTTAWA — The Liberals will soon launch small-scale consultations on a national anti-racism strategy promised in February's budget.



Canadian Heritage Minister Melanie Joly, who will oversee the work, said the government wants to "find real solutions to real problems," particularly on fundamental rights and access to justice and jobs.



Previous efforts to talk about racism have not gone well.



Concerns about free speech forced their way into discussions around a Liberal MP's motion condemning Islamophobia. Similarly, the Quebec government's plan to consult on systemic racism was met with objections that forced the province to tone down its plans.



The Liberals are now looking to avoid the same pitfalls.



Liberal MP Greg Fergus, chair of the parliamentary black caucus, said federal consultations must ensure debate doesn't devolve into accusations of racism, but rather examine how discrimination manifests itself.



"Systemic racism exists in Canada," Fergus said in French after a Liberal caucus meeting.[/quote]

A recent House of Commons committee study on combating Islamophobia and systemic discrimination and racism recommended the government craft a national anti-racism strategy — which will happen as part of $23 million in spending over two years for multiculturalism programs.



The committee also pushed the government to do a better job of collecting and analyzing data on diversity and inclusion, which Statistics Canada received $6.7 million to do over five years.



NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he wanted the government to take actions like reforming the justice system — noting the disproportionate number of black and Indigenous Peoples in Canada's prisons — and improve access to education for marginalized communities.



"It's not a problem to study, but it's a problem if you only study all the time, but don't have actions," Singh told reporters in French.



"We want the government to act."

Two points here. First, what does opposing islam have to do with race. Secondly, $6.7 million analyzing data on diversity and inclusion is a total waste of our money.

The Trudeau government likes spending millions of our dollars on "talk."

Even our dumbshit PM doesn't doesn't indulge in this kind of pointless expenditure.

The last pm to show such disdain for taxpayers was his father.

The importance of these talks about white Canadians racism of today and past need to be addressed no matter the cost. Justin Trudeau can clearly see this. White Canadians racism past and present is what justifies the need to replace them and these talks will help all of us understand this better.

Justin Trudeau himself risks being replaced.

MONTREAL — Concerned that the tide of far-right ideology could become mainstream in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government has for the first time earmarked millions of dollars in the national budget to counter racism.[/quote]

Right out of orwell.  A favorite stratagy--The left pretends the "far right" is a huge looming threat when its not, so progs can accrue more power, take more freedoms, and in this case spend more money



what will it all accomplish? --prediction- 1. further, destroy free speech 2. divide people even more by tribes/races and 3. waste millions that should be spent elsewhere or returned to taxpayers..

Lol I laugh my ass off every time the liberals talk about racism in Canada, tbveryhonest and have been living here for over 30 years there's no personal/individual discrimination that doesn't have a good reason.  Mean while someone should called the waaaabulance if they don't like it here so much or just simply move to a place they think is better.

Caucasians in Canada are the least racist people I have ever met.

The law and social custom have made it unacceptable. That is not the case in most places in the world.

I would like to see the emphasis move to social harmony like Singapore does rather than dividing people by ethnicity like Malaysia and Canada do.

Absolutely.  They like using ruses, like pick pockets do.  "Hey look over there its the far right" and then while your head is turned they take away your money or your freedoms.



The left can't govern worth squat, but when it comes to underhanded tactics, they are the masters.
