How do you feel about Nancy MacDonald’s Maclean’s article claiming that Winnipeg is the most racist city in Canada?

  • Bill Dykstra , Student

    I think that Maclean’s article left the vast majority of the rest of the country out of the equation, and it kind of puts the rest of Canada off the hook for being racist because if Winnipeg is where racism is, then everywhere else is void of racism, which is untrue.

  • Hannah Owczar, Student

    If it’s a harsh article like that is what it takes to open up the conversation, then I think that’s a good thing.

  • Milena Alem, Student

    It’s halfway true. Like I feel that we are racist but then again most cities have that problem, so I don’t think we should be subjected to that kind of criticism in our province.

  • Trevor Sunley, Student

    I think the whole article was flawed based on the use of a study from BC and the opinion of a woman that’s barely lived in Winnipeg.
