The first — and most important — is to recognize that for all of Canada’s efforts at pursuing racial equality, the nation still remains part of an active global system of white privilege; one that empowers white Western nations to wield economic dominance, geopolitical control, and cultural influence around the world. If Canada really wants to pursue its decolonizing project, it has to take this wider reality into account, or achieving equity within the country will never succeed.
Indigenous leaders in federal and provincial cabinets and on major city councils would be another proof of serious commitment. These transformations should be a baseline for a visibly more effective challenge to white privilege. In education, curriculums are still largely European narratives, approaches to knowledge and perspectives on the world. Canadian universities are not exceptions to this — embarrassing, as they recruit an increasingly non-white student body from around the world.
In geopolitics, Canada remains part of the Anglosphere that exerts disproportionate global influence: including the anachronistic Five Eyes security alliance, whose members represent less than 10 per cent of the world’s population. Canada’s membership in the G7 is not based on its size or economic leadership but its membership in the club of privilege — Canada has a population the size of Malaysia.
And yet Millions have immigrated since the 80's for the sole purpose of BENEFITTING and PROSPERING off a colonial system based on such atrocities. ...... You would think they would not want to come here in the first place
More liberal crap
Bahahahaha 🤣😭 this piece of shit paper is just too much
Youtube a man named Thomas Sowel! Make up your own mind! As for me? My 'white privilege' started at 15 in a ditch with a shovel! Worked my tale off all my life for what i have! F the moron horde and 'white privilege' bull sht!
Why are you so bitter and negative? Everyone still comes to immigrate to the colonies because they are welcoming, full of opportunity, prosperous and a a shining example of humanity. Yet we have to have a media that hates itself for what? Why be so negative? Are you mad at daddy?
cringe+ratio
Why is the Toronto Star spreading conspiracy theories like 'white privilege'? Stop platforming this nonsense.
“It must look at the wider reality.” How specific, and non performative of the star. Tools.
Sure, look at the wider reality, the fact that whites are a global minority lol 🤦🏼♂️
Multimillionaire complains about white privilege...again.
MAYBE our Canadian record is dismal pertaining to white privilege but it's almost for sure we were not helped by the agencies supplied by the Pope and his friends! The moral structure seems to have crumbled right under our feet!
Malaysian elitist virtue signaling 'brown privilege' businessman whining and crying the blues due to current hysteria fad scapegoating so called 'white privilege' and 'colonialism' . A perfect fit to offer opinion at The Toronto Star...
How about reminding the pope of Christianity's shameful past Those residential schools were just another Holocaust , Christians trying to destroy another peoples faith , its culture and way of life
Privileged western countries hog all the wonderful diversity for themselves, leaving places like China and Africa all homogeneous and disadvantaged. So selfish
No thanks. I'll continue celebrating Canadian history.
Shameful past,yes, but it was lead by the Catholic Church which the Pope is the leader of. Not to mention all the other sexual scandals committed by persons of trust. “Canada”is not the evil doer here. You need to look no further than your men and women of “the Cloth”
The pope is gone. His body doubles are pretty bad
Go ahead and hate yourself for being white. As a daughter of immigrants I am a proud Canadian who had no part in the countries racist past. I love me and I love being white. I encourage everyone to love who they are!
