On the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, Fareed Khan, founder of Canadians United Against Hate, says the government needs to start by acknowledging that the country and its institutions were built upon Indigenous genocide, slavery and white supremacy. Alex Ihama, executive director of the Canadian Congress on Inclusive Diversity and Workplace Equity, says he encourages countries to welcome Ukrainians as they flee the "despicable" war instigated by Russia, but asks them to give the same support to non-European refugees.
