An HONEST conversation about COLONIALISM: Nigel Biggar

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.
