Show Notes
In triple Vision’s 63rd episode we tackle the issue of diversity, equity, and inclusion. President Trump’s second term has placed DEI under attack in the United States, and there are rumblings of discontent in Canada around the practice as well. To answer some of the questions around this, Karoline and Peter speak with Varsha Naik of the Regional Diversity Round Table (RDR). Located to the west of Toronto, RDR’s mandate is to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion amongst some of the largest organizations in the area. WE ask Varsha what is the continuing value of DEI in the face of cutbacks to immigration, as well as where is accessibility in this conversation?
“We are creating a lack of acceptance. We are creating a polarization in our communities. We are creating communities where hate will fester. We will be looking at an eventual violent society and that’s not where we want to go.”
