In recent years, far-right and extremist beliefs have become more openly expressed and accepted and there has been a large increase in social groups and political figures who support these beliefs, such as MAGA and Donald Trump. While this shift is most visible in the United States, Canada has also experienced the spread of hate-based propaganda and far-right beliefs.

Join Connor MacMillan, a Research Associate with the Collaborative for Racial Justice, for this talk hosted by Capilano University in conjunction with the North Vancouver District Public Library.

Each panelist turns to CRT to interrogate the histories and continuities of slavery, settler colonialism, and border imperialism in the management and criminalization of racialized migrant mobilities in Canada.
