Coronavirus: The New Reality - June 7 | Ep 8

In this edition of Coronavirus: The New Reality hosted by Dawna Friesen we look into the growing unrest and protests around anti-Black racism and inequality happening in Canada and around the world and the challenge it poses during a pandemic. Even before George Floyd was killed, this pandemic was infected by racism. Robin Gill looks into how Asian Canadians have been targeted during COVID-19 and the old wounds being re-opened. David Akin explores the growing debt among Canadian households during COVID-19 and the pending crisis facing many when the benefits end. The summer vacation for many families may be one closer to home than ever before, Mike Drolet looks into how to plan a vacation during a pandemic. Finally, Redmond Shannon explores the growing problem of disposable PPE waste.

Not gonna lie watching the reporter correcting about slavery only for the Dr to confirm growing up in Montreal and then moving to Toronto. Honestly, this is the problem. This is why people are protesting.

unconscious bias is bias you perceive just because you need to feel it is true.

The new reality? What happened to the new normal? Moved onto another global agenda?

Dawna, you can pride yourself all you want on tolerance and acceptance but it’s not happening in Reality

JFC Dr she asked you about Covid & all the people protesting together. You went on a rant about racism & didn’t answer the damn question!

I am in Canada for last 23 years, there is no Racism specifically targeted towards Blacks. Racism is there for almost every minority community, typically more towards African and Asian immigrants. The real problem is Blacks expect a lot from the system but they are unable to give to the system that is expected of them. Blacks behavior in many environments is not confirming to the other groups. It has nothing to do with intellect or anything else because intellect is there in every community. Some communities try to exploit one or two incidents like Floyd's case for their advantage.

The comment section is full of trolls with fake accounts.

OMG I am ashamed of Canada right now. We are NOT the US! We are supposed to be better than that! I had no idea it was that bad. Under our skin we are ALL the same. Not even animals treat each other worse because their colors might be different. Even male and female of some species are completely different looking. What the hell is wrong with humans to act worse than animals! To those of you who are attacking people. Karma will bite you hard.
