Today, we remember the abolition of slavery on August 1, 1834. Emancipation Day is a significant moment to reflect on our nation's history and honor the resilience and strength of Black communities. Let's use this day to educate ourselves about the past, acknowledge the injustices faced, and commit to building a future rooted in equality and justice. We remember the struggles and celebrate the progress, while recognizing there's still much work to be done. #EmancipationDay #RememberHistory #BlackHistory #Equality #Justice #FederationOfBlackCanadians ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Réflexion sur la Journée de l'Émancipation au Canada 🕊️ Aujourd'hui, nous nous souvenons solennellement de l'abolition de l'esclavage le 1er août 1834. La Journée de l'Émancipation est un moment important pour réfléchir à l'histoire de notre nation et honorer la résilience et la force des communautés noires. Utilisons cette journée pour nous éduquer sur le passé, reconnaître les injustices subies et nous engager à construire un avenir fondé sur l'égalité et la justice. Nous nous souvenons des luttes et célébrons les progrès, tout en reconnaissant qu'il reste encore beaucoup à faire. #JournéeDeLEmancipation #SeSouvenirDeLHistoire #HistoireNoire #Égalité #Justice #FédérationDesCanadiensNoirs

Widespread discrimination at the highest levels of Canada’s public service was revealed today. The Coalition Against Workplace Discrimination released an internal report obtained through the Access to Information Act regarding discrimination at the Privy Council Office, which serves as secretary to the Prime Minister (Justin Trudeau) and leads the public service. Dr. Rachel Zellars discovered a workplace where racial stereotyping, microaggressions, and verbal violence was regularly practiced and normalized, including at the executive level, and a culture that discouraged reporting, and lacked accountability mechanisms. Further, Dr. Zellars found that White employees and executives detailed career-advancing opportunities that were in stark contrast to those of Black, Indigenous, and racialized employees, who were clustered in temporary and lower-level positions. This should be troubling to all Canadians. The Coalition Against Workplace Discrimination consists of the Black Class Action Secretariat (BCAS) the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), The Canadian Association of Professional Employees (ACEP-CAPE), the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE), Canadian Black Nurses Alliance CBNA, The Enchanté Network / Le réseau Enchanté, Red Coalition Inc., Federation of Black Canadians, 613-819 Black Hub, the Black Canadians Civil Society Coalition (BCCSC). The Coalition previously highlighted discrimination at the Canadian Human Rights Commission which is currently being investigated by an international accreditation body.
