The Fall of Egerton Ryerson and Dr. Lila Pine

For the week of June 11, 2021:

The statue of Egerton Ryerson, an architect of the residential
school system, was toppled and defaced by activists this past week.
We speak with Ryerson University professor and Mi'kmaq artist Dr.
Lila Pine about how the university can hold itself accountable to
the demands of Indigenous students.

After that we revisit Sophia De Guzman's interview with 'X
University' organizer Sam Howden about the impromptu memorial
taking place at the former site of the Ryerson statue on
campus.
