That’s why we’re pleased to welcome you to May’s edition of Off the Hill: The bumpy road to pandemic recovery. Join us for a live discussion on Wednesday, May 26 at 4:30 p.m. We need to talk about why that is, whether the government is doing an adequate job of making our pandemic recovery equitable, and where we go from here.
Without radical change to the systems of oppression that enabled the disproportionate illness and death of the working class and those who inhabit its intersections, the road to recovery will be a much smoother ride for some Canadians than others. The last year has been enormously more difficult for BIPOC communities, for women bearing the brunt of care work, and for undervalued yet rhetorically “essential” front-line workers. Consumed with daily pandemic news, it’s easy to see how it slipped by, but did that let the Liberal government off the hook? This budget was also unique in that, according to some polls, the majority of Canadians barely even noticed it. It offered key insights into the Liberal government’s roadmap for a pandemic recovery. Is the government doing enough to account for this?īudget 2021 was the first budget in two years and the first pandemic budget we’ve seen from the federal government. The road to pandemic recovery will undoubtedly be smoother for some more than others.
We know that the pandemic has exacerbated existing race, gender, and class inequities.
