“More Exposed And Less Protected” In Canada: Systemic Racism And COVID-19
The aim of this Backgrounder is to provide a broad summary of recent research and reporting on the intersections of racism and COVID-19 in Canada. Its aim has been to highlight these intersections in three key areas: Healthcare, Labour, and Housing and Community Support. It is far from a comprehensive analysis, however. Systemic racism is a deeply-rooted aspect of Canadian society that warrants a degree of analysis and action beyond what is covered in this Backgrounder

Environmental Racism
There's Something in the Water
Environmental Racism in Indigenous and Black Communities
Ingrid Waldron
Using settler colonialism as the overarching theory, Waldron unpacks how environmental racism operates as a mechanism of erasure enabled by the intersecting dynamics of white supremacy, power, state-sanctioned racial violence, neoliberalism and racial capitalism in white settler societies. By and large, the environmental justice narrative in Nova Scotia fails to make race explicit, obscuring it within discussions on class, and this type of strategic inadvertence mutes the specificity of Mi'kmaq and African Nova Scotian experiences with racism and environmental hazards in Nova Scotia. By redefining the parameters of critique around the environmental justice narrative and movement in Nova Scotia and Canada, Waldron opens a space for a more critical dialogue on how environmental racism manifests itself within this intersectional context.
