Canada's Racial Discrimination in Environmental Policies: Community of Africville
Let's suppose you wake up from a beautiful sleep that you had in the comfort of your home. You look around and recall the many years you spent and worked hard to build this home, providing the best for your family. You walk to your kitchen to get a glass of water, but it tastes awful. You start to feel lightheaded after the sip, so you decide to go outside and get some fresh air. Suddenly, you can breathe the smell of fuel and waste, as trash is thrown near your home by the factory across your street; a factory that your town municipality built. The terrifying thoughts fill your head of this being the reality for you and your family from now onwards, having to drink contaminated water and breath intoxicated air. This is the true story of many coloured residents living across Canada and this phenomenon is known as environmental racism.
