Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying: Eugenics Under Another Name
This paper is a study of the Canadian Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program initiated in 2016 and undergoing expansion ever since. It tries to understand how it is that the Canadian government frames assisted dying as a viable and beneficial practice to both individuals and the public purse, while also exploring the rationale for its decision-making. The study begins by examining MAiD and its projected expansion (expected for March 2027) to …
The academic left, human geography, and the rise of authoritarianism during the Covid-19 pandemic
In this paper, we critically analyse the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting not only the breadth of knowledge geographers have already contributed to this assessment, but also the surprisingly limited critique within geography, social sciences and the broadly defined ‘Academic Left' of the authoritarian dimension of the public health policies of 2020 onwards. We conclude with a number of research questions for the aftermath of the pa…
On the right to accommodation for Canadians with disabilities: Space, access, and identity during the Covid-19 pandemic
In this article, I explore the societal reluctance to accommodate and include persons with illnesses/disabilities, which has rendered them “second-class” citizens. This reluctance exists despite several pieces of legislation whose goal is to create an inclusive and accepting social as well as physical environment across Canada. In October 2020, the Ontario government introduced a mask mandate as a non-medical procedure to limit the spread of COVI…
I Cannot Hide My Anger to Spare You Guilt”: On BLMTO and Canadian Mainstream Media’s Response
In this paper, I examine Canadian mainstream media’s response to Black Lives Matter Toronto, focusing in particular on two events that occurred in the city in the Summer of 2016 and Winter of 2017. By relying on Critical Race Theory, I argue that a White-dominated press has been unwilling to engage with the message presented by Black activists under the excuse that the tone of the message is overly harsh and threatening to White audiences. After …

Defectives in the Land: Disability and Immigration in the Age of Eugenics
Omar Khadr, Hannah Arendt, and the Racialization of Rights’ Discourse
In this paper, I focus on the story of Omar Khadr, a Canadian minor who was held captive in Guantanamo Bay for a decade, to demonstrate that, at times, neither citizenship nor human rights offer any protection to those who, like Khadr, are citizens of a country and are certainly human beings, yet have been deprived of the rights associated with those statuses. By drawing on Hannah Arendt’s argument in The Origins of Totalitarianism, as well as so…
Women as individuals and members of minority groups: How to reconcile human rights and the values of cultural pluralism
The Medical Admissibility Provision vis-à-vis the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Left History features articles from a variety of theoretical approaches; these include feminist, marxist, and postmodernist deliberations on topics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, culture, the state, labour, the environment, theory, and method
