Presents DOXA Fest Films Ask: ‘What Does Hope Look Like?’ The feeling has many faces as Vancouver’s documentary film festival moves online. Catch it from anywhere in BC starting June 18. Changing province’s name from ‘British Columbia’ is not a bad idea, but it’s also not enough. (click to read in context) Not a bad idea Crawford — however, that kind of symbolism, like the furor over toppling statues, is pretty much smoke and mirrors unless we’re willing to tackle the real day to day problems of racial and economic inequality based — as those things largely are — upon power relationships endemic to the political and economic associations and structures that actually ‘rule’ the province and the country. Canada’s Militarized Police The sight of U.S. police treating protests as battle zones invites an examination of Canada’s own ramped up militarization of law enforcement. Researchers here found “routine policing represented the majority of SWAT team use.” Such force tends to be visited on “minority groups, those with mental health issues and those exercising democratic rights associated with political expression.” That impulse was on display in B.C. when RCMP in battle gear cleared peaceful Indigenous land defenders opposing pipeline construction. Time to demilitarize police? The Tyee is a reader-supported publication. Ifyouvaluewhatwedo, helpusmakeit. Join Tyee Builders
