Questioning government policy on China is not fomenting racism, Prime Minister

Last week, Conservative MP Candice Bergen asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau why scientists at the Winnipeg infectious-diseases laboratory had been collaborating with Chinese military scientists. Two Canadian scientists have been fired from the lab, so Ms. Bergen’s question was reasonable. Mr. Trudeau’s response was not.

“The rise in anti-Asian racism we have been seeing over the past number of months should be of concern to everyone,” Mr. Trudeau replied, from left field. “I would recommend that the members of the Conservative Party, in their zeal to make personal attacks, not start to push too far into intolerance toward Canadians of diverse origins.”

More than 800 residential school students died in Alberta — advocates say it’s time to find their graves

The Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement has identified 139 residential schools across Canada — 25 of which were in Alberta. However, that number excludes schools that operated without federal support, such as those run by religious orders or provincial governments. Some schools also underwent name changes, or were relocated.

Please stop apologizing, Justin Trudeau

This week Trudeau delivered his latest plea for forgiveness, a formal apology in the House of Commons for the internment of Italian Canadians during the Second World War. It was in fact a re-apology, as Mulroney had already sought atonement at a gathering of Italian Canadian organizations 30 years ago. According to Trudeau’s office, the repeat was necessary because “the government’s actions violated the values that our country was fighting to secure during the Second World War, including freedom, equality, and justice, and had serious impacts on families and the Italian Canadian community.”

There has been a dangerous rise in anti-Semitism in Canada, and nobody is talking about it!

Alex talks with Shuvaloy Majumdar, Foreign Policy Director and Munk Senior Fellow at the Munk Centre. They talk about the dangerous and disturbing rise in anti-semitism in recent weeks, and how the media is not giving it the attention it needs, and how socially it is not being addressed.
