In an email sent to students in January, Principal Suzanne Fortier stated that she would communicate her decision by the end of this term. She has yet to release a decision. “I honestly am very optimistic that it will be changed within the next month. In any other circumstances I wouldn’t believe this to be true, but I really do think that we’ve crossed our t’s and dotted our i’s here,” explains Tomas Jirousek, a varsity athlete, SSMU’s current Indigenous Affairs Commissioner, and a major figure behind the Change the Name Movement. “I think this current manifestation of Indigenous students pushing on the R*dmen name is one of the best shots we’ve taken at changing it in quite a while,” he added. The Change the Name movement has received overwhelming support from the McGill community during this academic year. On October 31, hundreds of students supporting the #ChangeTheName campaign participated in a demonstration in front of the James Administration building. During the 2018 SSMU Fall Referendum, 80 per cent of students said they were in favour of renaming the men’s varsity teams. More recently, a large banner that read “Change the Name” was hung from the roof of Leacock before being removed by security in a matter of minutes. “The type of support we’ve received really shows how powerful we can be as a community when we stand together,” says Jirousek. The banner drop took place during the voting period for the proposed Athletics Facility Improvement Fee, a fee to which the Indigenous Student Alliance, and other equity groups on campus, are strongly opposed to. The Athletics Facility Improvement Fee, included in the Winter 2019 SSMU referendum, asked if students are willing to continue paying ten dollars per semester for Athletics Facility Improvement, justifying the fee by arguing that “athletics and recreation is an integral part of student life on campus.” The NO campaign pointed out that “the approval of the Athletics Facility Improvement Fee would only enable McGill athletics and further limit Indigenous students from using facilities which are meant to be open and accessible to all McGill students.” Fifty-eight per cent of students voted “No,” 42 “Yes,” and 20.7 per cent abstained. “Part of the reason why I pushed so hard for this ‘No’ vote was because I don’t think it’s fair or appropriate that Indigenous students are left out in the cold while the other students move forward without us. If we are going to invest in renovating and fixing the athletics facilities it should be done in a way that’s equitable, in a way that’s open to all students,” explained Jirousek. At the March 28 meeting of SSMU Legislative Council, former VP External Conor Spencer read a statement on behalf of Tomas Jirousek, and Christelle Tessono, president of the Black Students’ Network. The statement explains that by letting this question be a support they have gathered on campus, Change the Name leaders recognize that the increasing awareness surrounding the need for reconciliation at a larger scale has given them precious momentum. “If we are going to invest in renovating and fixing the athletics facilities it should be done in a way that’s equitable, in a way that’s open to all students.” — Thomas Jirousek part of the winter referendum, SSMU has failed “in its mandate to stand as an ally with Indigenous students at McGill.” By including the question, SSMU failed to realize that “McGill athletics complexes exist as physically hostile environments for Indigenous students […] [the racism of the R*dmen name] is physically manifested in these athletic facilities.” “Reconciliation sometimes requires sacrifice,” Spencer concluded. While they attribute most of their success to the widespread “Voices are starting to come out. In recent years, we’ve seen Indigenous voices really coming through in the media. It’s a time when we had the right people in the right place. You had a team of students that were really passionate about it and they saw an opportunity, in this day and age where we can actually talk about these things,” points out co-chair of the Indigenous Students Alliance and varsity athlete Vanessa Racine. QPIRG Annual General Meeting Or: A Star Trek Retirement Party Kelsey McKeon The McGill Daily T he Quebec Public Interest Research Group (QPIRG) held their annual general meeting (AGM) last Thursday, April 4. QPIRG is a non-profit, student-run organization committed to social and environmental justice through campus and community activism. QPIRG’s main vehicle of activism is its educational programs, such as Social Justice Days, as well as initiatives providing funding to various working groups. The AGM provides a space for these various working groups to come together and discuss projects they worked on during the previous year. The Star Trek retirement party-themed meeting, held in Leacock 232, began by adopting the agenda and approving last year’s AGM minutes. Becca Yu, QPIRG’s Finance Coordinator, then presented the organization’s financial reports. The organization ended the 20172018 year with a larger surplus than the year before, largely due to the third full-time staff position remaining unfilled for a short period of time, as well as lower working group spending. With this surplus, the organization bought a camera, a projector, and laptops for staff members and working groups to use. QPIRG staff members then proceeded to give their reports. Staff updated attendees on School Schmool as well as QPIRG’s Popular Education Event Series, which includes Culture Shock and Social Justice Days. Coordinators of Rad Frosh reflected on their alternative to SSMU’s Frosh that took place in September. This year’s Rad Frosh theme was “We’ve got the beat,” which the coordinators described as an attempt to “archive the reciprocal relationship of social justice and political activism of the ‘80s in relation to the present.” Rad Frosh took place in September and offered 152 participants events such as radical campus tours, Queer prom, a DIY fair, and benefit concerts hosted by BIPOC artists. According to staff members, it was highly attended and a very successful event. Other presentations included the organization’s outreach report and the summer stipend report, which was awarded to the Third Eye Collective this past summer to construct a zine with resources for sexual and genderbased violence. After updates from the library coordinator, the Community University Research Exchange (CURE), and the Prisoner Correspondence Project, the meeting moved to board reports. The Board of Directors, the radical research committee, the policy committee, and the accessibility committee all presented brief updates from the past year. Their biggest challenge for the year was reaching quorum and disseminating information between board members for time-sensitive issues. The meeting then moved to elections for student members and community spots on the Board of Directors, as well as elections for the Conflict Resolution and Complaints Committee (CRCC). Everyone who ran for the positions was elected; this includes nine students elected as student representatives to the Board of Directors, two individuals elected as community representatives to the Board, and two individuals elected to the CRCC. Finally, all of QPIRG’s working groups in attendance gave their annual reports. A great deal of QPIRG’s mandate is carried out through working groups, who operate autonomously from QPIRG, but receive funding and resources from QPIRG. This past year, QPIRG supported 18 working groups, all of which centre their research and action around social and environmental issues. Working groups include Food against Fascism, Independent Jewish Voice, McGill Students in Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights, Women from the Committee of Women of Diverse Origins, Black Indigenous Harm Reduction Alliance, Solidarity Across Borders, and STAND for Prison Justice, among others. The AGM allowed QPIRG and its working groups to report to its members on the work they have done over the year. For attendees, it was a reminder of all the various organizations that exist on campus and in the community, and what students can look forward to for the upcoming year. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ce «mot-clic» se traduit par «les vies noires comptent» en français. Il fait référence au mouvement militant américain qui se bat contre la discrimination des Afro-Américains par les policiers. Pour l’année 2016, 700 personnes ont été tuées par la police américaine. Parmi les victimes, il y a 173 Noirs contre 324 Blancs. Seulement, ces chiffres sont disproportionnés par rapport aux pourcentages que ces groupes représentent dans la population américaine: les Blancs forment 64 pourcents de cette société contre seulement 13% d’Afro-Américains: ils représentent une minorité de la population et ce chi re laisse penser qu’ils sont plus victimes de la brutalité policière. C’est d’ailleurs après le tristement célèbre décès de l’Afro-Américain Martin Trayvon que le mouvement militant «Black Lives Matter» (BLM, ndlr) a vu le jour, dans le but de lutter contre le profilage racial. Du hashtag à la manifestation L’a aire remonte à février 2012, lorsque Georges Zimmerman, un agent de surveillance de voisinage, tire un coup de feu mortel sur le jeune afro-américain Martin. Lors de son procès, le policier invoque la légitime défense et est acquitté. Cela déclenche une indignation et une prise de conscience d’un problème racial dans la communauté Afro-Américaine aux États-Unis. C’est alors que «Black Lives Matter» est o ciellement créé le 13 juillet 2013 par Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi et Patrisse Cullors. Elles écrivent un billet de soutien à la communauté Noire sur Facebook en utilisant le hashtag «les vies noires comptent», qui sera repris sur de nombreux réseaux sociaux. Après cela, elles décident d’en faire un mouvement et commencent à organiser des manifestations. La popularité du groupe est donc due en grande partie aux réseaux sociaux, qui permettent d’atteindre un large public de tout horizon. Depuis 2013, trois a aires – parmi tant d’autres – sont devenues emblématiques. La mort d’Eric Garner à New-York, celle de Michael Brown à Ferguson et celle de Freddie Gray à Baltimore ont tour à tour contribué à l’expansion du mouvement. Les trois hommes étaient d’origine afroaméricaine et étaient non armés lors de leur arrestation. De même, la quasi-totalité des agents de police impliqués dans leurs décès a été acquittée, accentuant l’oppression et la colère ressentie par la communauté Afro-Américaine. 10 société Face à l’injustice que la minorité subit, BLM organise des rassemblements qui attirent de plus en plus de personnes, notamment des jeunes. Ils représentent ainsi le combat de la nouvelle génération antiraciste contre la violence policière et le profilage dont les Noirs se considèrent victimes. Ils défendent également les intérêts des mouvements féministes, altermondialistes et de la communauté LGBT. Un problème toujours d’actualité Mardi dernier, le 20 septembre 2016, l’afro-américain Keith Lamont Scott a été abattu par un policier à Charlotte. Pour se justifier, les forces policières ont a rmé que Scott était en possession d’une arme et qu’il représentait un danger, ce que sa famille a nié. Depuis, de violentes manifestations ont lieu à Charlotte, qui ont causé l’arrestation d’une quarantaine de personnes. Ces altercations entre la police et les minorités ethniques ne sont pas limitées au continent américain. Le 29 juillet 2016, une a aire similaire a eu lieu dans le Val-D’Oise, en France. Adama Traoré, un jeune français d’origine malienne, est décédé à la suite d’un contrôle de papiers qui a mal tourné. Les proches de la victime sont convaincus de la culpabilité des policiers, mais jusqu’ici, la justice française ne leur a pas donné raison. Dans les jours qui ont suivis, plusieurs manifestations ont eu lieu en mémoire de Traoré à Paris. Ce sont les premiers rassemblements «Black Lives Matter France», directement inspirés du groupe américain et formés par des associations antiracistes françaises. Ceci montre le retentissement et l’impact mondial du mouvement originel. Issu des États-Unis, sa notoriété est donc un moyen de susciter l’attention des autorités locales dans d’autres pays, comme en France par exemple. Un mouvement parfois critiqué «Black Lives Matter» est un mouvement activiste controversé. Il est notamment critiqué pour son slogan «les vies noires comptent». Les conservateurs américains le perçoivent comme un encouragement à la division raciale. Le 7 juillet 2016, pendant une protestation contre la mort de deux Afro-Américains, cinq policiers ont été tués. Le tireur, un ancien soldat de l’armée américaine, voulait «tuer des blancs» pour venger les victimes. BLM a tout de suite condamné l’acte et rappelé que c’était un acte isolé pour éviter tout amalgame entre le criminel et le mouvement. Cependant, pour les Républicains, cet incident prouve que le mouvement a une responsabilité dans l’incitation de la haine envers les Blancs et les policiers. «Black Lives Matter» se dit être un mouvement pacifiste, mais il arrive parfois qu’il y ait de la violence lors des manifestations. Toutefois, peut-on blâmer le mouvement pour les situations qui peuvent parfois dégénérer lors des manifestations? Quel est le lien entre ce mouvement pacifiste et les groupes plus extrémistes qui arrivent à s’immiscer au sein de ses manifestations? Parallèlement, certaines person- 28% des Américains blancs, tout parti politique confondu, se disent contre ce mouvement. BLM: une prise de conscience internationale «Black Lives Matter» fait désormais partie des mouvements les plus influents de notre époque, non seulement sur le continent nord-américain mais également en Europe comme BLM a permis une prise de conscience internationale sur un problème social jugé comme étant le plus important aux États-Unis par 13% des Américains. nalités politiques ont ouvertement accusé le groupe de racisme, dont l’ancien maire de New-York, Rudy Giuliani: «Quand les gens disent que les vies des Noirs comptent (Black Lives Matter, ndlr), c’est fondamentalement raciste. Les vies des Noirs comptent. Les vies des Blancs comptent. Les vies des Asiatiques comptent. Les vies des Hispaniques comptent. C’est anti-américain et c’est raciste.» Les opposants au mouvement seraient aussi plus nombreux chez le parti des Républicains aux États-Unis, car les idéaux du mouvement seraient plus alignés avec ceux des Démocrates. Par ailleurs, nous avons pu le voir avec l’affaire d’Adama Traoré. Internet et les réseaux sociaux – principalement Facebook et Twitter – ont permis au mouvement de s’exporter plus rapidement dans d’autres pays. BLM a permis une prise de conscience internationale par rapport à un problème social jugé comme étant le plus important aux États-Unis par 13% des Américains. Ce mouvement issu de la société civile est désormais un symbole de la lutte contre la discrimination et le profilage racial. Mais plus encore, il incarne les évolutions de notre société vers le haut. x vittorio pessin le délit · mardi 27 septembre 2016 · delitfrancais.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Author Henry Golden discusses the harm segregation has caused to both black and white Southerners, and argues that segregation has degraded Southern culture. February 1961 After a McGill fraternity is accused of discrimation against a Jamaican student, The Daily publishes a feature titled “Segregation at McGill - Yes or No?” that “is not presented with the intention of taking sides, which our readers will do for themselves.” A few weeks later, an opinion piece in the paper claims that fraternities have the right to refuse a student membership on the basis of race, religion, and nationality. The author equates such a right to the NAACP’s right to bar a white supremacist from joining the organization. —compiled by Emilio Comay del Junco and Stephen Davis October 1962 Daily writer Jerald M. Cohen visits the southern U.S., and unpacks the mindset and hypocrisy of segregation. He writes: “The older man spoke highly of the abilities of Negro students to enter the best universities. He seemed a reasonable, moderate man. But one of the last things he said to us was: ‘If the federal government tried to integrate the schools in this town, I’d be the first to go out and burn down a church.’” February 1969 Concordia students claim a professor is failing black students without just cause. Police intervene and things turn violent when protesters occupy the university’s computer centre. Student records are destroyed and computers are thrown from the building’s windows. September 1970 McGill students organized a Black Students’ Association for the University, in response to lack of accessibility and administrative indifference. The organization’s chair, Sally Cools, summed up the feelings shared by many black students: “We’re being fucked around left, right, and centre at McGill.” October 1962 Daily news coverage of demonstrations against the desegregation of the University of Mississippi is accompanied by a text encouraging support for American civil rights: “It is essential that students across the continent clearly express their stand. It is a responsibility which attaches to us as students.” October 1965 Coverage of a talk on Rhodesia questions the possibility of human rights while the right to vote is limited to whites, despite the election of a more moderate government. “Where, from the new Labour administration is the long awaited ‘firm stand’ against the continuation of racism and robbery in this oppressed land?” October 1969 The Daily reports on disruptions of an African Studies program conference by 10 students calling themselves the Black Caucus, claiming that the conference should discuss racism in Montreal. After various letters in The Daily, two writers publish a page-long response entitled “Disruption as a means of self-determination for black people.” December 1971 A noted supporter of trade with South Africa is slated to appear on the TV program Under Attack. One hundred students disrupt the taping and stop the program from going forward. William Kunstler, a U.S. lawyer who has defended Angela Davis, comes out in favour of the students. “Everyone has the right to speak, but others have the right to prevent him if they find his views intolerable,” he says. January 1972 Len Bently, president of the Sir George Williams draw their accounts from the Bank of Montreal (BMO) because of its involvement with the South African apartheid government, while McGill and SSMU continue to deal bank with BMO. McGill does not divest from South African investments until 1985. September 1986 Ten months after voting to divest, McGill is discovered to have acquired stocks in companies tied to the South African regime. The Daily reports that the University’s South African investments have only decreased by 20 per cent. February 1987 The Daily polls black students’ attitudes towards apartheid, revealing that while 84 per cent believe “divestment should be a dominant issue in the West,” only 22.5 per cent describe their participation in anti-apartheid activities as “significant.” The poll comes a week following prime minister Brian Mulroney’s visit to white-ruled South Africa. February 2000 To solicit Valentine’s classifieds, the McGill Tribune runs a cartoon of white male birds trying to impress nearby females, who are distracted by an attractive black crow. The white males remark, “[Females are] easily impressed by spades,” a derogatory term for black people. The BSN’s political coordinator says “Clearly there is nobody with any racial sensitivity working at the Tribune.” November 2000 SSMU rejects the Black Student Network’s (BSN) proposed constitution, calling it “inflammatory” and “exclusionary.” The preamble to the constitution refers to James McGill as a slaveowner and describes the socioeconomic disadvantages facing blacks today. The BSN calls for SSMU to receive racial sensitivity training, though the Society maintains that the rejection was based on policy, and not politics. January 1984 SSMU president Bruce Hicks emerges as a leader for divestment, delivering a 95-point motion to the Board of Governors on South African human rights violations. He is later criticized for not consulting the South Africa Committee, a student group pushing for divestment. Hicks forms his own organization, the South Africa Advisory Group, but admits that some members do not know who Nelson Mandela is. January 1987 In a comment piece, social worker Alix Jean tells the Daily about racial profiling by Montreal police officers. “You meet any black person you see on the street and three out of five would be able to tell you of at least one incident where they had been harassed by the police.” November 1999 Stickers appear on campus claiming that blacks and bisexuals are more likely than other groups to be infected with AIDS. The stickers are produced by a white supremacy organization and refer to white people as an “endangered species.” The BSN calls for a comprehensive, campus-wide response, but McGill’s director of security claims, “The fact is we can’t really do anything.” Illustrations by Jerry Gu | The McGill Daily November 1978 Dawson College’s board of governors votes to with- University Students’ Association, accuses the administration of racism after the board of governors dissolves the union. “Today, the principal views a black student as a potential threat to the welfare and good name of this university,” he says.

According to an email that Principal Suzanne Fortier sent to the student body on June 12, 2020, the plan aims to “confront systemic racism” at McGill by researching the University’s ties to slavery, providing more support for Black students, and working towards creating a more diverse and representative faculty and student body. These measures come after years of student concerns regarding the equity of the university – a SSMU hiring equity report from 2016 noted that the University has not changed its Employment Equity Policy since 2007, and that this equity policy has “produced few results” since being passed. However, Associate Provost of Equity and Academic Policies Angela Campbell maintains that the university has addressed equity complaints, citing reports such as The Report of the Working Group on the Principles of Renaming and Commemoration and McGill’s Canada Research Chair EDI Plan, among others, in an email to the Daily. Renee Corbiere, a member of the Indigenous Student Alliance (ISA), expressed concern over Campbell’s comments: “It was only after tumultuous efforts, protests and petitions that McGill made any indication they would be willing to change the name… McGill has already made it clear on which side they stand regarding harmful iconography.” Corbiere also pointed out that task forces and studies are not productive unless their recommendations are implemented. Aina Louisa-Carter, Vice President Social for the Black Students’ Network (BSN), told the Daily that university administrators have historically been “weak in their attempts” to address the concerns of Black students, though not completely unresponsive. The EDI Plan includes a mandate to “[r]eflect diverse identities” through iconography on campus,” but it remains unclear if these efforts will include the removal of the statue of James McGill. Many students have been advocating for the removal of said statue, with the Take James McGill Down open letter  having garnered over 1,000 individual signatures. According to Media Relations Officer Frédérique Mazerolle, the removal of the statue is “under consideration” as the University continues to work on the “Plan to Address Anti-Black Racism,” https://www.mcgilldaily.com/2020/09/a-program-to-confront-systemic-racism-at-mcgill/ 1/4 �11/6/21, 12:25 AM A Program to “Confront Systemic Racism” at McGill - The McGill Daily to be released on September 30. Campbell also emphasized that the forthcoming plan would take demands from the BSN into account, and that the University has familiarized themselves with the demands of the Take James McGill Down movement. While she said that “there won’t be… an ability to meet all of the demands” of the movement, Campbell stressed that the demands of the BSN would be “centered” when working on the “Plan to Address Anti-Black Racism.” Louisa-Carter said that consultations with McGill’s administration “appear to be going well,” and she is hopeful that slow progress will be made if the University continues to work with student organizations. Corbiere expressed similar sentiments, writing that the plan has “great potential,” but will only succeed if the university continues to work with the student body and is genuinely invested in making McGill more equitable. In addition to working with student organizations, the University has recruited two postdoctoral fellows to conduct research into the university’s historical connections to slavery and colonialism. According to Campbell, these fellows were recruited in order to “nourish their own research” as well as to “animate a series of actions and initiatives” that will be included in the forthcoming Plan to Address Anti-Black Racism; she did not specify whether the university will create more permanent research initiatives, nor how the university will use the research generated in the future. Previously, research on McGill’s connections to slavery had been conducted by former McGill professor Charmaine Nelson and her students in her Art History course James McGill was a Slave Owner: Slavery and the History of Universities. Campbell claimed that Nelson’s research will be taken into account in the formulation of the Plan to Address Anti-Black Racism. While this plan has not yet been released, and it is unclear how it will be implemented, the Daily intends to follow the story.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1994 .. . A racial harassment policy for McCiill? Indisputable evidence presented at hearing BY RoBIN PERELLE In an attempt to sensitize McGill's administration to the existence of racism on campus, the Subcommittee on Racial Discrimination held a hearing on April 7 to gather evidence of harassment incidents. The Subcommittee, created in January by the Joint Senate/Board Committee on Equity at McGill, originally solicited written submissions on the problem but soon decided that an open forum would be much more effective. Ultimately, the Subcommittee hopes to demonstrate that an official policy on racial harassment is desperately needed at McGill. Astrid Jacques testified that she was very surprised to find the uni- ffi versity doesn't already have such a policy, especially since several CEGEPsin theMontrcalareado.In fact, McGill is one of the only univcrsities in Canada without a policy 0 on racial harassment.

It is important for this society to have dose ties with all the faculties, as well as speak on broader political issues that concern McGill." Luz said that the President's Council has "lots of potential, but never had a focus." He is hoping this will change for next year. Engineering Undergraduate Society(EUS) hasnotyet made a decision whether or not to pull out of the President's Council. They arc waiting to see what comes of this umbrella organization. William Phillipson, this year's EUS president, said that the President's Council "grew a heck of a lot this year, but it still needs a lot of work." Unlike Crowley, he does sec value in having IFC on the Council. Phillipson's position is that fraternities represent one facet of student life, and their opinions should therefore be valued.

Lionel fritz adimi J eudi 14 Janvier 2016, à l’Université de Montréal (UdeM), la Ministre du Commerce International, Madame Chrystia Freeland, participait à une conférence organisée par le Centre d’Études et de Recherches Internationales de l’Université de Montréal (CÉRIUM), dans le cadre du processus de consultation publique que le gouvernement Trudeau s’est engagé à tenir sur le Partenariat transpacifique (PTP). Ce traité qui implique à ce jour une douzaine de pays, et qui pourrait représenter près de 40% de l’économie mondiale, vise essentiellement à accroître le libre-échange entre les pays signataires à travers la réduction des barrières tarifaires reliées à l’investissement, le renforcement des règles liées à la transparence dans les échanges commerciaux, la création d’emplois, et l’innovation technologique. Il faut donc reconnaître que la ratification de ce traité représenterait un tournant historique concernant les e orts alloués par les États à la coopération internationale. Et la Chine dans tout cela? Considérant tous les bénéfices énumérés ci-dessus, on peut mahaut engérant toutefois se demander pourquoi la Chine, qui est maintenant un incontournable de l’ordre économique mondiale, n’a pas pris part aux négociations. Cet aspect reste malheureusement très négligé par les analyses relatives à cet accord. Cette absence des radars nous révèle surtout qu’au-delà de l’économie, le PTP, s’il est ratifié, aura aussi d’énormes conséquences géopolitiques sur l’Asie de l’est. La vérité dans ce sens est que, même si le Canada ne ratifie pas le traité, notre pays, en plus d’un potentiel isolement économique et d’une perte d’opportunités vers de nouveaux marchés, devra aussi composer avec les conséquences géopolitiques et stratégiques inhérentes à ce dernier. Ainsi la question de savoir ce que feront les décideurs chinois si ce traité rentre en vigueur, devient primordiale. La Chine sera-t-elle victime de la puissance d’attraction du traité? Finira-t-elle par se conformer aux standards mis en place par le groupe comme cela a été le cas avec l’Organisation Mondiale du Commerce (OMC) en 2001? Quels sont les pays potentiellement en faveur et en défaveur de l’entrée de la Chine dans ce nouveau G12 économique? Une croissance qui dérange Au-delà de l’attraction économique, seule une analyse géopolitique nous offrira les éléments de réponses à ces questions. À cet effet, la non-invitation de la Chine au processus de négociations commencé depuis 2008, est symptomatique des inquiétudes que sa croissance actuelle ainsi que les différentes rivalités territoriales en mer de Chine méridionale, posent à des États tels que le Japon, l’Australie et Singapour. Pour eux, cet accord signifie, par procuration, une présence accrue des ÉtatsUnis, leur allié offshore dans la région. À cela, les États-Unis auront donc un rôle déterminant à jouer concernant le future du PTP et surtout concernant la stabilité de la région. Quant au Canada, même s’il est vrai que nous n’avons pas directement un rôle à jouer dans la présente tentative d’endiguement contre la Chine, cela ne signifie pas pour autant que nous ne devons et pouvons rien faire par rapport au futur de notre relation avec la Chine et nos alliés dans la région. Ainsi, l’approche diplomatique et multilatérale mise de l’avant par le gouvernement Trudeau et expliquée par la Ministre Freeland lors de la conférence pourrait, si elle continue d’avancer dans cette direction, devenir la clé d’une implication canadienne flexible et réaliste en Asie de l’est. Enfin, comme la ministre Freeland l’a expliqué, le traité, après les consultations publiques et les débats au Parlement, sera à prendre ou à laisser. À cet effet, le gouvernement libéral aura la responsabilité de convaincre la population canadienne qu’en plus des retombés économiques, ce traité marquera un pas de plus vers notre retour sur la scène internationale. x Au-delà des préjugés Conférence sur la santé mentale au sein des communautés noires. Vincent MorrÉale Le Délit L e 13 janvier dernier avait lieu une soirée de conversations tenue par des conférenciers jouant tous des rôles importants liés aux enjeux des maladies mentales. Parmi eux, le Dr. Sophia Koukoui, Rachel Zellar, Dré Myrna Lashley, Sacha Obas et enfin Cherrilyn Birchwood. Ensemble, ils ont partagé leurs recherches et leurs découvertes à un auditoire attentif et curieux. Les notions abordées relevaient de la stigmatisation, de la relation entre les genres et la santé mentale, de l’importance du bien-être, ou encore du lien entre l’ethnie raciale et la justice criminelle et de son effet sur la santé mentale d’un individu. Pour cela, ces experts ont choisi d’utiliser une approche scientifique, en présentant notamment des projets de doctorats basés sur des recherches cliniques médicales. 6 ACTUALITÉS L’événement était aussi l’occasion d’entendre le réalisateur et documentariste Sacha Obas sur les enjeux cités dans son reportage The Black Male Mental Health Project («l’étude de la santé de l’homme noir», ndlr). De fait, le documentaire présente l’expérience de la dépression vécue dans la communauté noire de Montréal et ce en examinant les différents facteurs menant à la dépression nerveuse. Il propose des solutions variées afin de combattre le stress et la dépression. Dès le début, les conférenciers ont orienté la discussion autour des maladies mentales touchant des communautés ethniques et des conséquences liées, telle la dépression. Ils ont invité les membres à s’entretenir avec les professionnels présents à cette fin. Ce sujet reste selon eux encore extrêmement sensible car, à partir du moment où ces troubles deviennent un problème pour un individu, ils deviennent aussi tabou, ce qui rend le sujet d’autant plus difficile à aborder. De fait, cet enjeu étant caché et secret, les individus souffrant de ces troubles subissent, à leur grand désarroi, du racisme, mais aussi de l’intimidation. Le Dr. Koukoui parle ici de «stigma»: une sorte de marque, de blessure sur la peau à l’image des traces imprimés au fer rouge sur le corps comme punition. Toutefois, ces punitions sont arrivées sans raison, ce qui oblige les patients à vivre avec des symptômes sans prendre conscience de leur «maladie». La maladie mentale étant un enjeu important, du fait de sa croissance ces dernières années, les organisateurs et conférenciers ont à plusieurs reprises mentionné à quel point ils étaient heureux qu’un si grand nombre de personnes se soit déplacé le temps d’une soirée. Le contenu du reportage The Black Male Mental Health Project n’est selon eux pas pris avec autant de sérieux dans la sphère publique. La conférence aborde une catégorie de maladies mentales qui sont en hausse et ce, malheureusement, tant chez les adultes et les personnes âgées que chez les adolescents. La dépression mentale a ecte non seulement la capacité d’un individu à vivre en société, mais aussi à vivre tout simplement, le forçant à se retirer en silence, honteux d’avouer, ou de s’avouer, qu’il a un problème qui va au-delà d’un simple sentiment mélancolique passager. x le délit · mardi 19 janvier 2016 · delitfrancais.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

While unaware of all the word’s connotations, I knew from a very young age that to be a woman is beyond breasts, Aunt Flows, and unmentionable monologues. Struggle is inherent to every woman’s life, regardless of her appearance, her location, her age, her past. I believed that to be a woman was not only to experience this struggle, but also to realize it, to embrace it, to fight. To never succumb. The realization of the struggle(s) inherent to my womanhood helped me better formulate a worldview that would eventually bring me to peace with several things that had haunted my thoughts for years. Vanity, glass ceilings, career, ambition, opinions, unorthodox language and choices, and unattainable expectations had all carved out comfortable abodes in my head and I was constantly forced to deal with the issues that arose from their sometimes unwanted and sometimes desired presence. I picked up my first piece of feminist literature at the age of 16. It was your basic introductory work, providing a detailed discussion and analysis of various forms of feminism – as an ideology and as an academic discipline – ranging from radical to ecological. The academic foundation of the activist movement attracted me and eventually led me to take a feminist theory class during my first undergraduate semester. A mixture of an activist fetish, first-year depression, and general intellectual curiosity gently coaxed me into joining a collective of sorts and really exploring the McGill feminist landscape. It was angry, fun, filled with ambiguities. I liked it. It terrified me at times, overwhelmed me, but it was something. Alas, somewhere along the way, the relationship went sour. The passion left. The tensions had always been there, but were ignored for the sake of solidarity. Though always aware of my womanhood, I had never been as sensitive to my ethnic and religious identity as much as I was forced to be upon entering university. New ideas regarding power relations, history, politics, gender, and ethnicity were thrust into my adorable 18-year-old face. I embarked on the sort of spiritual and cultural rejuvenation that seems to come with age and paying tuition. I began to re-explore my Islamic identity while also looking into my heritage, beyond the date of my parents’ migration to North America. And as my awareness of racism and ethnic power dynamics’ pervasive nature increased, the paradox involved in maintaining a capital-F feminist self also increased. I became more and more uncomfortable being associated with Feminism – a feeling fueled largely by how mainstream strands of feminism (including the ever-dominant Radical branch) would treat ethnic identities. Generally speaking, feminism, as a socio-political and intellectual movement, has been dominated by white women, along with a select few white transgendered individuals and white homosexual men. Think that’s a gross exaggeration? Send a letter. There has been very little input in the initial and primary construction of feminist discourse by those outside the aforementioned groups. The “white” history and experience – the meaning and implications of which exceed the scope of this column’s word count – defined, created, and have sustained what we understand feminism to be today, specifically the Liberal and Radical strands. Now many will respond that several types of feminism today have evolved into more inclusive movements that take into consideration that so-called “women of colour” have different experiences than white women as women. And that’s precisely where the problem lies: women of colour. “Women of colour” beautifully illustrates the exact problem I discovered with feminism, as a woman who did not fit the mainstream criteria for being just a Woman. As a “woman of colour,” I am not just a Woman. I am a woman with a little something extra; there is a difference struck between women like me and white women. There is no Woman. There are no Women. There are two groups: women and “women of colour.” This tidily, and unfortunately, translates into the “us” and “them” categorization. Because this distinction is made and has been proudly appropriated by “women of colour” without much criticism, this presumption that the white woman’s identity is a sort of “foundational” identity for all women is prevalent within feminism. As mentioned earlier, feminism was created and has been sustained on a very white – and North American – experience and history. This experience and this history have created the framework within which decades of feminist theory and thought have been constructed. This paradigm was most aptly demonstrated when nonwhite feminists began to critique the very real ethnic power imbalances that existed in the discourse during the sixties and seventies. “Ethnicity,” including also faith and culture, was more or less fitted into the existing framework: the framework that was built on the white woman’s experience with and understanding of patriarchy. There was no real attempt to rethink the intellectual and historical foundations of the movement. Those thinkers, like Angela Y. Davis and bell hooks, who did attempt that reconceptualization, have gone into the shadows of academia, existing as mere footnotes at the end of feminist class syllabuses. So, is the white woman the palette upon which the “colours” of all other women can be found and mixed, used interchangeably to create a beautiful “inclusive” portrait of something which is, in many respects, ugly? If we are all equal, why are some “of colour” while others have the privilege of a much shorter identity label? I strongly believe that much of the feminist analysis on sex, sexual identities, capitalism, beauty, and genil y der deconstruction coma D ill prises a powerful tool, buildcG M he ing ideas that require our con/T r se sideration if we want to change s e M a i our status-quo condition. I am not, v i Ol however, foolish enough to believe in the universal applicability of these ideas here in North America (forget the rest of the world). There is a real void within mainstream feminist discourse that has marginalized the very women whom it has allegedly sought to empower and “save.” Feminism is still very much a white woman’s movement and discipline; it has tokenized women it sees as “of colour” in its attempt to be more inclusive and universal. This is not progress: this is not equality. This is a kinder racism: unintentional, and really a part of an institutionalized mentality and epistemic history, but racism nevertheless. What is required for feminism’s return to relevance is a complete reconsideration and questioning of the foundation it was built upon, one sustained by the white woman’s narrative on patriarchy. This reevaluation can potentially lead toward a more holistic feminism – hopefully rebranded as something for all men, women, and everyone beyond – that is based on an understanding that the experiences of all women with patriarchy vary. All women view and interact with “patriarchy” in different ways and more than lip-service recognition of this fact is required to transform feminism. There should be no saving involved. There should be no brackets. There should not be two categories of women, if it is women about whom we speak. There should be realization, embracement, and battle. There should be real inclusivity – of cultures and ideas. Nothing fitted neatly into the existing crevices and cracks. And there should be just Women. Period.
