Ricochet's Unpacking The News

It’s November, aka. the month when we are all encouraged to partake in the manufacturing of sympathy for militarism in preparation for Remembrance Day. On this episode of AGSC, Paniz and Tamsyn are joined by Tyler Shipley, author of Canada in the World: Settler Capitalism and the Colonial Imagination published by Fernwood Publishing. Often, those criticizing militarism are labeled disrespectful. Here, Paniz, Tamsyn and Tyler explore how what actually is “disrespectful” is the devastation and destruction that the Canadian state commits worldwide in the name of democracy, human rights, and gender equality.
