This is a book I come back to often and keep recommending. This is essential reading for Canadians! The author writes beautifully about such dark and cruel things. However, she delivers essential information and highlights what we need to know for an antiracist society.

This book should be required reading for everyone in so-called Canada. As a white settler, I learned so much about the multitude of ways that Black and Indigenous people are affected by our racist, colonial system.
