Barr’s com- ments, in an interview Tuesday with the The Associated Press, contradict the concerted effort by Trump, his boss, to subvert the re- sults of last month’s voting and block President-elect Joe Biden from taking his place in the White House. Barr told the AP that U.S. attor- neys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific com- plaints and information they’ve received, but “to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.” The comments, which drew im- mediate criticism from Trump at- torneys, were especially notable coming from Barr, who has been one of the president’s most ardent ROBERT F.

  • We the North Finalsubmission
    We the North? Race, Nation and the Multicultural Politics of Toronto’s First NBA Championship Funké Aladejebi, Kristi A. Allain, Rhonda C. George & Ornella Nzindukiyimana1 Abstract The Toronto Raptors’ 2019 NBA championship win, a first for the franchise and for a Canadian team, “turned hockey country into basketball nation” (CBC Radio 2020). Canadians’ growing embrace of the team and the sport seemed to point to a growing celebration of Blackness within the nation. However, we problematize the 2019 championship win to tell a more expansive story about how sport and national myths conceal truths about race and belonging in Canada. We explore two particular cases, the We the North campaign and the media coverage of Raptors superfan Nav Bhatia, to highlight the contradictory ways that the Raptors coverage mobilized symbols of the North and multiculturalism in order to produce the team as quintessentially Canadian and rebrand basketball for Canadian audiences. We further explore how these stark contradictions manifest in the racialized policing of basketball courts in the Greater Toronto Area. These cases demonstrate that the celebrations of the Raptors and basketball not only continued to police racialized bodies, but also ensured their inclusion was contingent on the maintenance of the status quo. Keywords: basketball, Canada, Raptors, the North, Blackness, Whiteness, Toronto 1 Introduction In June 2019, at the close of a long victory parade and in front of thousands of fans, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, and Toronto Mayor John Tory handed the keys to the city to Kawhi Leonard, the hero of the Toronto Raptors’ historic basketball season.
