Context Beyond The Headlines

In June of this year, the Toronto Police released a report finding officers in Canada's largest police force used more force against Black people than any other group or demographic. The findings are what the BIPOC community in the city has been claiming for far too long. Then the Environics Institute released a study entitled "Canadian Social Norms and Racism." The national study looked into the different types of racial microaggressions directed at Black and Indigenous people in this country and how aware Canadians are that they are happening. This week on Context's podcast, Maggie John sat down with Keith Neuman, a senior associate with Environics Institute and author of that study, to find out more. Also, Jermaine Morrison, social worker and mental health advocate, reacts to these recent reports.
