“…The government has repeatedly condemned anti-Black and other forms of racism (Trudeau, 2021), emphasizing, for example, the importance of a diverse population for the economy (Department of Canadian Heritage, 2019). Such pronouncements belie public resistance to challenges to white legitimacy especially in positions of power (Puwar, 2004).…”

Research has shown that Black politicians in the Global North contend with higher instances of abusive language on social media platforms. The study investigates how public interactions engage with the intersectional positionalities of nine Black Canadian politicians. We collected all the replies to tweets posted by the politicians from 2006 to 2021. Results from the manual analysis showed that 56% of the tweets had a neutral tone, meaning that even if they contained abusive language, they did not directly address the politician. They were also not complimentary. There were more negative tweets than positive ones; 23% versus 21%. The themes of the tweets with negative tones centered on opposition to the politicians’ discussion of racial inequalities or racism, or their party affiliations, especially affiliation to the Liberal Party or relationship with Prime Minister Trudeau. The manual analysis showed women politicians received higher rates of abuses, while in the sentiment analysis stage that covered the entire data set, men were more trolled with 66.6% of words directed at them being negative, compared to 55.7% for the women.

“…Similarly, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated in his 2022 Emancipation Day (August 1) communiqué: ‘Although slavery was abolished nearly 200 years ago, its effects continue to live on today. The legacy of systemic anti-Black racism is still embedded throughout our society, including in our institutions’ 45. Indeed, Canada has a long history of systemic racism including colonialism, the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the Indian Act, Residential Schools and more.…”

IntroductionLiving donor (LD) kidney transplant (KT) is the best treatment option for many patients with kidney failure as it improves quality of life and survival compared with dialysis and deceased donor KT. Unfortunately, LDKT is underused, especially among groups marginalised by race and ethnicity. African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) patients are 60%–70% less likely to receive LDKT in Canada compared with white patients. Research from the USA and the UK suggests that mistrust, cultural and generational norms, access, and affordability may contribute to inequities. To date, no Canadian studies have explored the beliefs and behaviours related to LDKT in ACB communities. Research approaches that use a critical, community-based approach can help illuminate broader structural factors that may shape individual beliefs and behaviours. In this qualitative study, we will investigate barriers to accessing LDKT in ACB communities in the Greater Toronto Area, to enhance our understanding of the perspectives and experiences of ACB community members, both with and without lived experience of chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods and analysisHospital-based and community-based recruitment strategies will be used to recruit participants for focus groups and individual interviews. Participants will include self-identified ACB individuals with and without experiences of CKD and nephrology professionals. Collaboration with ACB community partners will facilitate a community-based research approach. Data will be analysed using reflexive thematic analysis and critical race theory. Findings will be revised based on feedback from ACB community partners.Ethics and disseminationThis study has been approved by the University Health Network Research Ethics Board UHN REB file #15-9775. Study findings will contribute to the codevelopment of culturally safe and responsive educational materials to raise awareness about CKD and its treatments and to improve equitable access to high-quality kidney care, including LDKT, for ACB patients.

“…Throughout the pandemic, mental health continues to be discussed regularly by the general public as well as world health organizations, health care providers, the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, provincial and territorial Chief Medical Officers, and politicians at all levels (Canadian Mental Health Association, 2020; Mental Health Commission of Canada, 2020a, 2020b; Morneau Shepell, 2020; Pfefferbaum & North, 2020; Trudeau, 2020a, 2020b; World Health Organization, 2020). Although these conversations do not focus solely on rural mental health, many themes of concern overlap between urban and rural populations.…”

The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has dramatically impacted Canadians' mental health, including those who live in rural areas. Rural psychologists have long faced unique challenges associated with practice related to accessibility, isolation, and technology. They also have extensive experience in practicing with flexibility, creativity, and complex ethical considerations such as competency (generalist vs. specialist, cultural competence vs. content competence). Therefore, they may have adapted relatively rapidly to the dramatic changes that came along with the pandemic and be well positioned to lead their urban colleagues and organizations as we move forward. Whereas new and pre-existing challenges have been exacerbated by the pandemic, strengths of rural psychologists (e.g., managing geographical isolation, familiarity with telehealth) have emerged. This article looks at the strengths embedded in rural psychology that facilitated service provision during the pandemic. It also reviews future directions to build upon within the rural Canadian context. Public Significance StatementRural mental health needs during the COVID-19 pandemic have not been widely discussed within the existing literature. Challenges and strengths specific to rural Canada are reviewed within the context of COVID-19 with recommendations for future directions provided to the reader. These recommendations are important for practitioners and policymakers to consider, as they provide future directions for policy development. Recommendations include ensuring mental health policies and practices implemented in rural and remote communities maintain a rural perspective.
