In Canada, my family and I have benefited from privilege through whiteness, citizenship, and being part of the dominant culture at the expense of those who don't have the same privileges]]> 2021-04-07 18:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/janjolee/a9etgs268jjl8tdk/wish/1392942795 https://padlet.com/janjolee/a9etgs268jjl8tdk/wish/1392942839 My family has been here for a couple of hundred years (originally from Ireland, England, Scotland).
