Ottawa -An Indigenous employee with the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. (CBC) is taking up the fight against what he describes as systemic racism by his employer. Richard Agecoutay, 61, has been granted a human-rights hearing over claims of discrimination at the public broadcaster, where he's worked since 2001. Documents filed with the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal detail several instances in which Agecoutay said he was denied work. "The experience was psychologically and emotionally devastating because the company had basically shut down my claims of discrimination, and that's why I went to the Canadian Human Rights Commission," said Agecoutay. Asked to respond to a detailed list of allegations from Agecoutay, CBC said it would not discuss human resource matters that are in litigation.

Read this CBC News article for the a balanced perspective on the recent “Indigenous Identity Fraud Summit.”While the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) supports efforts to strengthen legitimate Indigenous citizenship and self-determination, the summit organized by the Manitoba Metis Federation (MMF) and Chiefs of Ontario (COO) had the opposite effect.
