On another note, I did write the NDP to ask what the position on sex worker safety is. It's unfortunate that LGBTQ and trans rights are part of the platform but sex work is absent.

NDP MP requests a review of dangerous laws that put the lives of sex workers at risk​

OTTAWA – Earlier this week, NDP Justice Critic, Randall Garrison, filed a motion requesting that a special parliamentary committee review existing laws that make working conditions more dangerous for sex workers.

“Rather than criminalizing sex work, we need a harm reduction and human rights strategy that empowers sex workers to take all measures necessary to ensure health and safety in their work,” said Garrison. “This review could be the first step on the road to the decriminalization of sex work and will keep many marginalized people safe.”

Although a review of the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act (PCEPA) is mandated by legislation, legislation on medical assistance in dying, conversion therapy, and training for judges is expected to take priority. This contentious law, passed in 2014, criminalized the purchase of sexual services for the first time in Canadian history.

“The PCEPA review must begin right away because lives are at risk,” said Garrison. “Sex workers have been operating in dangerously unsafe conditions since this bill was adopted and we have to take action to help them stay safe.”

Garrison’s motion (M-44) requires that an ex officio member from the Canadian Alliance for Sex Work Law Reform be included and participate in the meetings of the committee, take part in proposing and questioning witnesses, and be included in the drafting of the report.

“Sex workers must take part in the study of this legislation and not just be subject to it,” said Jenn Clamen, National Coordinator of the Canadian Alliance for Sex Work Law Reform. “Sex workers are tired of being unheard and they need action now.”

“We have a responsibility to act, as legislators in the House, to make this a better and safer country for all workers, including sex workers,” added Garrison.

Don’t know about Singh but Jack Layton was definitely pro sex-work legalization.

He was caught naked in a toronto massage parlour (the masseuse tossed a soggy kleenex in the trash as the police came in the room).

Google it.

 

[Bbw hunter]

Sure. He can afford to act "cool" since he has no chance in hell of ever becoming PM, thanks to his bankrupt Marxist policies.
Come the next election Jagmeet will be dog meat.

Yep and he supported the most corrupt crime minister ever to get away from all the scams he commited like the WE Charity just to save his job.

Jagmeet Singh will no longer participate in large rallies.

 

[just some guy]

Don't see anything cool about him. Considered a terrorist in India with a spotty history and love how this character wants to be PM of Canada and keeps referring to Canada as a racist country all the while being elected as head of a major political party of Canada. Wonder what my chances are of being elected as the head of a major political party in India. He will be popular with the Canadian STUPID vote.

That is because he can't draw the large crowds.

Huh?

Canada *is* a racist country. It puzzles me that anyone can deny systematic racism but I know it's impossible to convince people who hold that belief otherwise.

The terrorist thing is not something I'm aware of but I'm not really sure what India says has much weight or credibility considering the pervasive corruption.. Come on now.

But anyway, this wasn't meant to turn into a political debate. This is about coolness factor.

Jagmeet Singh KILLS it lol

The End.


Not like there are any better options anyway
At least he's charismatic and human.

Yeah the Cons and Libs's policies are so much better. Not.

Yes but that is a good thing.
Would you want him to have a chance?
Problem is we are stuck with JT.

 

[gallantca]

What is scary is he could be the balance of power with the next minority government.
What is scarier is JT will be willing to sign any cheque Jagmeet requests.

 

[marky1234]

The guy is going on 43 and he just married a 30 years old indian beauty. That gives energy!

 

[Bbw hunter]

You would think that after 18 months of lockdowns that the last thing most people would want is a party that advocates more government intervention and control over our lives.
Y'all liking it so far?
An NDP government would increase the reach of the tentacles of the Nanny State. Plus taxes would go up as the economy shrinks.
Wonder how cool Jag would seem then.

No, we have Individuals that are racists as you will find in every country in the world. Canada is in no way a racist country as is evidenced by the immigrants of different racial and ethnic backgrounds that are welcome every year to this country. Much more than most other countries.

That's just an opinion. You should look into the meaning and structure of systemic racism. It is not about individuals and it is not about individual racist words or acts. What you discuss doesn't address systemic racism.

Can you define what systemic and institutional racism means VS racism you talk about?

Honestly, people can continue to reflexively saying we don't have a problem with systemic racism but that doesn't magically make it so.

It's not an opinion, it's a fact. There is an abundance of data and proof of that. The longer we deny, the longer we remain in a society, a country in which we are unaffected by those who suffer as a result of this systemic racism.

And saying it's not a problem because we're much better than other countries is really not a good enough reason to ignore it. Canada was built on a foundation of racist and genocidal colonialism. Of course, our institutions and system are going to have built on that same foundation.

We may say it's just in the past but we deliberately ignore that some of that racism is still entrenched. It may be invisible to us who do not experience it but when people tell us that it harms them, and the data supports this, then we don't have the right to deny it because we don't understand or don't like it.

Unconscious bias is just that : unconscious. The only way to see it is to know what it is and honestly question ourselves. If you are human, you are influenced by unconscious bias ALL THE TIME.

Seriously people, deal with it and we need to fix it. It's not about you or any individual. It's not an obvious racist act (although that is still here).

The idea of systemic racism is not about individual attitudes. It is about how society works. Good people can participate in systemic racism.

There is broad national confusion about this concept. The suggestion that Canadian society is racist can sound insulting, because if Canada is racist, then Canadians themselves must be racist and full of hate.

This sense of insult is an obstacle to understanding what “systemic racism” means. A claim about society blurs into a claim about an individual. “Systemic racism” can come across as an accusation.

a common and troubling problem with these sorts of reflexive denials. If someone were to consider the abundant data and facts related to this issue and comprehensively analyze it, and nonetheless come to the conclusion that there is no structural or systemic issue with racism in our society, then — as curious as that finding would be — at least a reasoned discussion about the issue could possibly be had.

But if someone has not done that work or looked into the empirical facts before making such a sweeping declaration, then the question they need to ask is: Why am I certain that this is the case? Is my sense that this is the way things are just an unsupported feeling? Is it, perhaps, an optimistic projection of the way we hope things are, or is it an indication of something darker — a way of repudiating those who hold the contrary view?

No matter the reason, such an unsupported declaration is an illustration of the very notion that it rejects; it is, in fact, proof of concept of systemic racism and of the implicit bias upon which it rests.

As American University professor Ibram X. Kendi puts it, “the denial of racism is the heartbeat of racism.” In his view, we shouldn’t define people or actions as racist or not racist, but rather as racist or anti-racist. If we aren’t willing to look at our own behaviour, we’re not actively working against racism.

“When a racist is called racist, they deny it, they refuse to talk about their own racism, they shut down the conversation, feeling offended as if they were personally attacked,” Kendi told the Washington Post. “When an antiracist is called racist, they assess whether what they said or did or did not do was racist based on clear definitions, and if they did say something was wrong with a racial group, if they did support a policy that was leading to racial inequity, then they admit they were being racist.”

Institutional or institutionalized racism is defined as racially linked, systematic, differential practices and outcomes, as perpetrated by social, economic, and academic institutions, private and public sector organizations, or legal system.
Institutional racism is distinguishable from other forms of discrimination in that it can occur without individual intent.

Instead, disparate outcomes are attributed to broad patterns of behavior and policies (both explicit and implicit) that support prejudicial attitudes and discriminatory behaviors.
