This week's Global Research News Hour explores some of the historic divides along racial lines that have threatened working class solidarity. For the bulk of the show, two in-studio guests: Chris Ramsaroop of the Migrant Justice Network (Toronto) and Louis Ifill, a former program coordinator for the Winnipeg-based Workers of Colour Support Network, discuss how and why obstacles have persisted for migrants and racialized workers in Canada. IN the latter part of the show, Abayomi Azikiwe of Pan African News Wire shares his insights into how and why the labor force in the industrialized northeast of the country has been split along racial lines and who has benefitted from those divisions.
