An HONEST conversation about COLONIALISM: Nigel Biggar
The Macdonald-Laurier Institute
@macdonaldlauriercaAbout
The Macdonald-Laurier Institute exists to make poor public policy unacceptable in Ottawa by proposing thoughtful alternatives through non-partisan and independent research and commentary. Since 2010, MLI has provided insightful analysis on the full range of subjects that matter most to Canadians.
Video Description
Colonialism is often seen in starkly opposing terms: for some, it is a stain on history, demanding endless apologies and reparations. For others, it represents a legacy of progress and high ideals – something to be celebrated. In this polarized debate, history becomes a battleground, used less to understand the past and more to advance present agendas. It's a contentious point that's being actively debated in Canada, Britain, and all other Western liberal democracies around the world. To discuss this, Nigel Biggar — Anglican priest, scholar, and the author of the book "Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning" — joins MLI Managing Director Brian Lee Crowley in Vancouver for the latest instalment of Voices That Inspire: The Macdonald-Laurier Speaker Series.
