Racist thugs continue to terrorize Indigenous people simply exercising their rights and trying to exist. The story of Canada, going strong in the year 2020.
My colleagues and I wrote this op-ed for #LabourDay. Instead of more inadequate band-aid reforms, what if migrant workers were treated like peers in Canadian agriculture? Let's use the lessons of COVID-19 to build a vibrant, equitable food system. https://t.co/eMd6hckorg #cdnag
