Canada often is praised for being a relatively open and tolerant nation. Yet Canada has not always been worthy of such praise. Covering the period since 1840, this course reviews the complex history of Canada’s response to questions of social justice and human rights, detailing what was learned from previous instances in which human rights were violated and social justice denied, and outlining what still must be done before Canada can become a truly open and tolerant society that offers equality to all citizens.
