It was the opportunity for him to experience Chinese culture – the food, the landscape, the people and their dialects, even the smells in the air. It was also a reunion with my parents, time for me to take care of them so that my sister could have a break. When China started to lock down the city of Wuhan in January 2020, I worried about my family and friends in China, but I thought it would pass in a few months, like SARS some years ago. Unfortunately, I still cannot enter China with my Canadian passport. I immigrated to Canada almost 14 years ago and became a Canadian citizen in 2015. It has been a good decision, and I have successfully built my new life.

While ‘traditional’ television is still a significant method of consumption, long-form video content streamed through a connected device is a regular part of Canadian viewing patterns. In some cases, viewing through a connected device is the only way Canadians are consuming content. Whether ad supported (YouTube, CityTvNow, Tubi), paid subscription (Netflix, Disney+, Sportsnet NOW etc.) or a hybrid of both, streaming is a growing method of content consumption in Canada. With enforced isolation and restrictions brought on by the pandemic, streaming consumption has been accelerated. Canadians are spending more time and money with streaming services. From our research, we estimate that Canadians spent $2.7B on streaming services in 2020.1 Is this a one time aberration, or a sign of things to come? Now, as we enter what appears to be the final phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, this report takes a look at the state of Methodology Rogers Sports & Media (RSM) in partnership with Tubi commissioned this study through MARU/Matchbox using their Streaming in Canada: What streaming content are Canadians Voice Canada panel.

    Nexus: The Canadian Student Journal of Anthropology, Volume 25, 2017: 44-51 The Othering of the Black Community in News Media Reports During the 2014 Ebola Epidemic Meenadchi Mohanachandran McMaster University The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze the racial undertones found in news media reports on the West Africa Ebola outbreak of 2014, focusing on the portrayal of North American cases on television. As with many political activist issues, the first step to making a change is recognizing where and how the issues are presented in and to society. This is especially apparent in cases of democratic racism – the conflict between the realities of racism and the ideology of equality. Through the analysis of television news reports from major North American news channels, this paper identifies three recurring themes that support the existence of democratic racism in North American portrayals of the outbreak: superfluous fear of Ebola, the protection of ‘Us’ from ‘Them’, and perpetuating the Othering of the Black community. This creates an apparent conflict between Them (the Black community) versus Us (the White population) that exacerbates pre-existing racial tensions and contradicts the ideology of equality that allegedly exists in Canada. This form of racism is further discussed in terms of two social determinants of health; the racial tones of news media outlets impact both social gradient and stress. This has further negative impacts on the Black population, and provides evidence of systemic institutional racism within the media industry. By understanding the key recurring themes of racism surrounding the event of an epidemic, society can be better prepared to confront this situation when it arises again.

Voting rates are declining. Canadians have a low opinion of politicians and do not engage in political activities or discussion. These issues are particularly pressing among Canada’s youth who already feel burned out and fearful for their future. In this era of misinformation and polarization, the generation raised on social media is at risk of lacking the knowledge, skills and resources to make important political choices and decisions. To lesson the impact of misinformation and polarization on youth, Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada has partnered with the Samara Centre for Democracy to develop a non-partisan initiative aiming to engage youth in a series of activities on digital citizenship called “Let’s Talk Digital”.
