One of the biggest barriers to racialized people in Canada being able to access critical resources, such as employment, housing, and education, is that their political and governmental representatives do not necessarily understand, thus they cannot meaningfully address the systemic and institutional obstacles they face. Canada prides itself on being a multicultural nation that welcomes people from all across the world who proudly call this country their home. This emphasis on diversity and open inclusion, cannot simply be a national or global slogan.
