What has this election taught us about Canadian culture?
Following last night's election, we convene a panel to dissect what the campaign — and the results — say about the state of multiculturalism in Canada today.
Most Canadians like to think of this country as a land of multiculturalism. But two issues at the forefront of the federal election campaign trail — the niqab and the refugee crisis — have caused some to reexamine what that really means.
Following the close of the 78-day race last night, we convene a post-election panel to dissect what the campaign and its results say about the state of multiculturalism in Canada today.
Shad is joined by three guests:
- Randy Boyagoda, author and English professor at Ryerson University
- Tracey Lindberg, author and professor of indigenous studies and indigenous law
- Safiah Chowdhury, community activist and co-founder of Outburst! Young Muslim Women's Project.
