This blog is about the same stuff sister El Jones talks about in her poem Canada is so polite. It’s about dispelling the simplistic, “US bad/Canada good” myth, exposing systemic discrimination and anti-Black racism in Canada – and showing how Black folks are organizing against them – and making Canada greater in the process.
I will use these pages to back up sister El’s words by blogging about my experience as a Black employee of Canada’s federal public service and co-founder of the Federal Black Employee Caucus. (My opinions are my own and are not the official, or unofficial, opinion of FBEC.)
