TIme to unlearn, friends. When Canadians talk about slavery, we often point with pride to the role our country played in the mid-1800s as a safe haven for Americans escaping captivity via the Underground Railroad. This is only half the story. Like the United States, this land has its own history of slavery and it is a history we should never forget.
