The Canadian Museum for Human Rights

March 12, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I was in Winnipeg last week to deliver training for the CGLCC in LGBT+ Inclusion for the tourism industry. While I was there I visited the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Overall, the visit reminded me that when our rights are protected, we don’t necessarily realize their importance or the …

Human Rights – Who Has Them, and Who Doesn’t

August 14, 2017 by Annemarie Shrouder 1 Comment

A few weeks ago, President Trump decided to reinstate a ban on transgender people serving in the military. It was a blow to transgender rights, which had been creeping along in a positive direction in the US. You can read more about the details here. The first thing that comes to mind is how some …

Proud Boys – when private views make it into the public domain

July 5, 2017 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I'm watching an interview with a leader from the Maritime Forces Atlantic (the Navy) about the Proud Boys "interruption" of an Indigenous ceremony in Nova Scotia on Canada Day. You can google the footage of the disturbance and the troubling comments made by the Proud Boys. I'm not going to link …

This Wednesday April 12th is Day of Pink – the international day against bullying, discrimination, homophobia, transphobia and transmysogyny. An act of support It didn’t start out meaning to be a day recognized around the world; it started as an act meant to support one person. Jadrien Cota – …

Kendall Jenner Pepsi Commercial

April 7, 2017 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Well. I’ve finally seen the Pepsi commercial. So many things wrong with it, and so many things to say. But first, one or two positives (yes, I found some): There is cultural diversity. Lots of it. And we see some people in roles we may not usually – a cellist of colour, a photographer who …

Anti-Black Racism in Canada

March 12, 2017 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Last Friday morning, my world felt different. I had watched Desmond Cole’s documentary The Skin We’re In on CBC the night before (if you missed it, you can watch it here). The Skin We're In - a brief overview The Skin We’re In was insightful, personal and thought-provoking. I appreciated …

Silence = Complicity

March 6, 2017 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Many of you are likely familiar with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote: “There comes a time when silence becomes betrayal.” I would argue that time has nothing to do with it. Silence equals betrayal anytime – whether we realize it or not, whether we are alone or in a group – because it equals …

Women's Marches This past weekend, thousands of women around the world took to the streets to show their protest against the new President of the USA, their commitment to each other, and their solidarity towards the other groups also targeted by him during his campaign. It gave me pause to …

Talking about Race & Racism

July 21, 2016 by Annemarie Shrouder 1 Comment

Last week I was part of many conversations about race and racism – in organizations, with the people in my life, in the community. Race and racism are tricky to talk about. People feel cautious - even afraid – to say the wrong thing, or to be perceived as ignorant (or worse, as racist). The trouble …

Black Lives Matter = Opportunity for Growth

July 7, 2016 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Black Lives Matter Toronto halted to Pride Parade on Sunday to make some demands of Pride Toronto. It’s not the first and won’t be the last of their bold activism. And, as Naila Keleta-Mae writes in her Globe and Mail article, the point is that they make people uncomfortable. Here’s my perspective …
