Pamela Palmater argues that the Harper government stands out as one of the most racist and aggressive governments that First Nations have had to work with in many generations.
Lorne Sossin
Lorne Sossin examines the tumultuous, but ultimately resilient, relationship between the Canadian courts and the Prime Minister's Office.
Faisal Bhabha
Faisal Bhabha argues that the Harper government has not only failed to protect the rights and safety of Muslim Canadians, but has actively campaigned on discriminatory policy targeting this community in an effort to win votes.
