Canada prides itself in its multiculturalism, with its “unity in diversity” claim. However, how much of that stands true? This episode of ConvHERsations reveals the ins and out of racism in Canadian institutions. As a neighbour of the United States, Canada is able to portray itself as picture-perfect, which is nothing but a façade. Sherouk and Taamara open a discussion regarding Canada’s racist acts, joined by guests Jason Seguya and Yanaminah.
