The Rot of Reconciliation in Canada (ep 279)

This week: the racket of Reconciliation. It's been some six years since the TRC issued its final report, complete with 94 Calls to Action. Has Canada listened? How would we know? Well, a couple of years ago we spoke to a couple of scholars who took on precisely those questions, generating a kind of 'report card' on Reconciliation. And suffice it to say, Canada didn't do so hot back in 2019. Did they up their game in 2021? To find out, host/producer Rick Harp has reconvened Reconciliation reckoners Eva Jewell (Research Director at Yellowhead Institute, and Assistant Professor of Sociology at X University) and Ian Mosby, (Assistant Professor of History at X University) to hear their insights into what keeps that needle barely moving, and why they worry survivors' pain is now a new profit centre for settlers. // CREDITS: Our opening/closing theme is 'nesting' by birocratic.
