Recognize Privilege – Part 2 of “How to be an Ally”

June 11, 2017 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Welcome to week 2! An ally is someone who supports someone else. In the context of social justice, allies support people and communities who are marginalized, in their struggle for equity, human rights, justice, etc. An ally is not a member of the group they are allied with. Last week, we …

The People we Push to the Margins

May 14, 2017 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I have spent the last 8 days in Delhi, India – an incredibly busy and crowded city, with beautiful people, stunning monuments that are older than the “birthday” Canada is celebrating this year, ridiculous traffic, some green spaces, and much poverty. I have traveled to many countries, and poverty …

How Easy it is to Shape Someone’s Perspective

May 1, 2017 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

The other night as my four year old filled up her cup from the tap and had a drink after brushing her teeth, I reminded her how lucky she was to live in a country where she could drink the tap water. We have just returned from a vacation in Cuba, where I had to teach her she couldn’t do that (as a …

The Law and Differential Impact

February 13, 2017 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Let’s talk about Bill C-23, and what it could mean for some Canadians. Bill C-23 is called the pre-clearance Bill because it’s about the powers that US customs officials have when Canadians pre-clear US customs on Canadian soil. You can read more about it here.  Currently, if you are pulled …

Marching for Change

January 22, 2017 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

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 …

Reconciliation in Canada

October 30, 2016 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Last week I attended the Canadian Race Relations Foundation Conference – Inclusive Canada, 2017 and Beyond. It was a thought-provoking and intense two days with a strong theme of Indigenous inclusion. The opening keynote was by Chief Dr. Robert Joseph, Ambassador for Reconciliation Canada. He …

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 …

Why I Won’t be Saying Happy Canada Day Today

July 1, 2016 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Today I put my foot in my mouth, big time. I mentioned it was Canada Day to a new American friend, and cheekily suggested he could wish me a happy one. And he is Indigenous. Yup. That's right. I will give you a moment to let that sink in. I have been doing Diversity & Inclusion work …

The usefulness of identity-based groups

January 7, 2016 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Questions about identity-specific groups often come up when we talk about inclusion. These could be based on race, sexual orientation, age etc. Identity-based groups are often viewed with caution and the accusation of exclusion. Afterall, we don't want to go "backwards". I’d like to suggest they …

September 11, 2015 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

It's the only one I have heard, and the podcast isn’t up yet - but check back to listen at http://www.cbc.ca/metromorning/).
