The Hill Times Opinion Piece
A follow up opinion piece on the interview with Ottawa painter and construction worker Kensha Spaulding has been written by Dr. Caroline Shenaz Hossein in The Hill Times.
Dr. Hossein outlines the problems faced my Black and racialized Canadians in the banking system, and steps needed to make a difference towards equality of treatment and equality of access.
It is infuriating that we keep hearing these stories at a time when we are supposed to be conscious of systemic racism against Indigenous and Black people. The CBC has exposed banking harms to Maxwell John and his granddaughter, Dana Mohammed, Frantz St. Fleur, Spaulding, and countless others. For years, I have been contacted by Black Canadians (Americans, too) about these humiliating experiences. It’s time to do away with Black suffering on display and to think about what solutions we need.
