To suggest that systemic racism does not exist, makes me question your ability to investigate stories of the Canadian experience without bias.

Robert Fife, the Ottawa bureau chief of the nation's paper of record, does not seem to know what systemic racism even means. He thinks it's about whether teenagers of different backgrounds hang out together.

Wow. Older, male, white privilege at its finest. 12 years ago when he came into the office of the MP I was working for at the time, I asked his name and he looked at me with disdain and actually said “Don’t you know who I am?” Um, no. That’s why I asked your name.

And FYI
@RobertFife
This is my sister and her beautiful family. When out and about without her husband, she lives with being asked, on a regular basis, “are these your children?” People are clueless. To ask a stranger that question can only be down to systemic racism my friend.
