I am from Canada and the news covers USA news very often so during the summer when there were protests occurring in support of BLM the Canadian news was covering it. Many people might think that this would start a conversation about race in Canada but it did not, instead, many people felt removed from the uncomfortable conversations occurring. But Canada does have racism and a lot of it. Discrimination against Native Americans is very prevalent and is reflected in the rates of missing and murdered indigenous women whose families never get closure in the form an arrest because the police do not try to solve the case. There are countless other examples like this one, Canadians need to realize that racism is not isolated to the USA and there is a lot of work to be done at home too.
