Being Black in Canada

This isn't your average Black History Month conversation! Drs. Chika C. Daniels and Veronica Fynn Bruey accepted our invitation to share their personal thoughts on Black History Month, and WOW do they ever deliver. 

2:20 | Prepare to be informed, educated, challenged, and inspired by the dynamic duo from Athabasca University, who share their personal experiences as immigrants to Canada and Black women in academia and industry. 

1:05:25 | Who would have thought 67% of Alberta NDP leadership candidates (to this point) would be campaigning against a consumer carbon tax? Is anybody surprised to see one of them capitalize on the awkward relationship between the provincial and federal New Democrat parties? Ryan recaps the first couple weeks of the race to replace Rachel Notley.
