Trudeau must understand anti-Black racism has to stop, and he’s got the power to help stop it

The prime minister should appoint eminent Black Canadians to boards and commissions. Canada also needs more Black judges, deputy and associate deputy ministers, and chiefs of staff in government offices. And there should be a Department of Diversity headed by a Black deputy minister. The upper echelons of power in Canada must reflect the diverse faces of Canada, says former senator Don Oliver.

Thousands gathered on Parliament Hill on June 5, 2020, for a rally to call attention to anti-Black racism and police violence against Black people across Canada and the United States. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world have also been protesting against anti-Black racism, police brutality, and racism after George Floyd, a Black man, was killed by a police officer while three other police officers stood by in Minnesota on May 25, 2020.

All of this political theatre, and they didn’t even destroy the uranium they pretended to seek. What a waste of time, money, and military resources.
