More from Thunder Bay
It's true. Jesse Brown has fired himself as a host of Canadaland podcasts.
For over five years, Canadaland has been investigating Thunder Bay, Ontario. Specifically, we have been trying to figure out why there were so many unanswered questions around the deaths of Indigenous people in this one Ontario town.
The verdict arrives in the trial that everyone’s talking about. Can there be justice? As Thunder Bay grapples with the truth about itself, people are still dying. Kids are still dying. So where do we go from here?
When a system is broken, you can work outside of it to create something new, or you can try to change it from within. But what happens when you need the system?
It’s infamous as the homicide and hate crime capital of Canada. And now, Thunder Bay has been officially diagnosed as racist. But so what? Does knowing this mean that anything will change? Welcome to Canada's first post-truth town. Support us here: canadaland.com/join. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
