A day of reflection
Listen now
Description
The way Elamin sees it, this Canada Day comes after a year full of questions that included: what is Canada about? And who is Canada for?

The past year has also forced the country to face inequalities underscored by COVID-19. What will be asked of governments once the virus is in the rearview?
