As we approach the one year anniversary of one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history, the debate surrounding a proposed National Day of Remembrance and Action on Islamophobia in Québec has been instructive.

In this conversation, National Observer reporter Clothilde Goujard joins host André Goulet to discuss the unbearable whiteness of being Québec’s media elite, the anti-Muslim provocations and posturing of the political class in a provincial election year and the hope and optimism that she experienced this week in Saint-Foy, the neighbourhood surrounding the Islamic Cultural Centre of Québec City.

Plus details on the National Observer’s new anti-hate, anti-fascist investigative reporting unit.

This conversation was recorded on January 19th, 2018.
