‘Systemic racism exists,’ says new CAQ adviser on Indigenous affairs

The day after being appointed a special adviser to Quebec on the issue of missing Indigenous children, Anne Panasuk said Wednesday she believes systemic racism exists in the province — in direct contrast to the ruling Coalition Avenir Québec’s insistence it does not.

“Yes, I believe it exists, and I have spoken with (Indigenous Affairs Minister Ian Lafrenière) about it,” Panasuk said in an interview on the Radio-Canada morning show Tout un matin.

While the pandemic has exposed structural inequities in everything from health care to education to housing, less remarked upon has been the institution of the great outdoors. And like most American institutions, outdoor space—and, crucially, access to it—has been socially and physically constructed by white supremacy and settler colonialism.

The Left wants ‘racial accountability,’ and that can only mean one very bad thing that should never happen on a national level

Liberal activists say they want a “conversation about a race” — they’ve been saying that for decades — but they rarely ever get around to explicitly stating what the point of that conversation is.

Washington Post liberal writer Christine Emba got sort of close, though. She wrote Wednesday that conservatives oppose critical race theory being taught in public schools, not because there’s anything wrong with it academically (though of course there is) but because it “might result in a real rethinking of the order of things, which might result in culpability, which might result in recognition that recompense is needed.”

There it is. Compensation. She also suggests “racial accountability.”
