MEDIA INDIGENA 156
Added 2019-04-08 05:32:10 +0000 UTCON THIS WEEK'S INDIGENOUS ROUNDTABLE:
Crashing the Liberal party. It was meant to be a partisan fundraiser in a posh Toronto hotel but it soon became a site of protest—an activist calling on Canada’s prime minister to do right by a First Nation ravaged by decades of industrial pollution. His response as she’s removed from the ballroom by security? A glib, even gleeful “thank you for your donation.”
Caught on video, that quip hit a nerve on social media, prompting some to wonder if it could cost Liberals at the ballot box this fall, prompting retaliation by Liberal supporters in turn.
Joining host/producer Rick Harp once again at the roundtable this week are Candis Callison, Visiting Professor of Canadian Studies at Princeton University, and Kim TallBear, associate professor of Native Studies at the University of Alberta.
