Canada In the Face of Responsibility

Aisha Haji Hussein

Winnipeg, Manitoba

‘The duties of the government [are] not only to take responsibility for past wrongdoings, but take the future into consideration.’

Governments Past, Governments Future

Allegra Chiarella

Winnipeg, Manitoba

‘unacceptable mistakes […]: governance based on emotions, disregarding the rights of the individual and discriminating solely by race’

Responsibility for Past Actions

Su Hyun Lim

Winnipeg, Manitoba

‘[The government] may not be able to directly correct the mistake, but [it] must use other methods to take responsibility.’
