Anti-gay laws in Russia, favela cleansing in Brazil, worker abuse in Qatar . . . when an international sporting event lands anywhere in the world, the host country often faces increased scrutiny over social justice issues. On the heels of the Parapan Am Games in Toronto we turn the microscope on ourselves and ask: what are the tough questions for which Canada should answer? To explore this, Shad checks in with award-winning author Joseph Boyden (The Orenda, Three Day Road). Boyden reflects on reconciliation with Canada's aboriginal peoples and the deeply-rooted racial tensions within our own borders.
