DEI trainer Kike Ojo-Thompson (the CEO of the KOJO Institute) led a series of sessions for TDSB higher-ups in which she made a number of familiar progressive arguments, according to Bilkszto’s court filing: Canada is a more racist place than the U.S., Canada is a “bastion of white supremacy and colonialism,”
The rest aside, the NP saying that it's a common take that Canada is worse than the us for racism is crazy talk. That's a fringe view.
A bright spot in Ontario's otherwise dismal government actions. Hopefully we can continue this with more investment down the line.
