#66 - Manjot Bains & Tonye Aganaba

Vancouver writer Manjot Bains was a senior advisor for the Government of Canada on anti-racism initiatives - that is, until she and her father made brief comments on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's brownface/blackface-wearing past in an interview. Manjot shares her incredible story with Call the Question. We also talk about Arielle Kayabaga, a city councillor in London, Ontario who dared to speak against the elimination of funding for a WiFi Hotspot lending program at the London Public Library. We'll tell you what happened at City Council in response to her comments.We mentioned on the pod an upcoming summit on February 23, Women Shaping Surrey: Towards a Women-Friendly City. The summit will provide an opportunity for participants to share their views, experiences and perspectives and explore how to amplify the diverse voices of women and girls, and to ensure that a gendered perspective is applied to all city policies, programs, and activities.
