The Longue Durée of Housing Justice
This editorial frames housing justice as a question of spatial and temporal struggle, engaging the longue durée of dispossession, endurance, and collective transformation. From the weaponisation of space–time in conditions of settler colonial domination to the quieter bureaucratic violence of eviction, precarity, and financialisation in global cities, housing injustice emerges as a slow, iterative process rather than a sudden rupture. The contrib…
Tracking (In)Justice
There is a lack of knowledge on deaths related to police use of force across Canada. Tracking (In)Justice is a research project that is trying to make sense of the life and death outcomes of policing through developing a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and open-source database using publicly available sources. With a collaborative data governance approach, which includes communities most impacted and families of those killed by police, we docum…
Socio-spatial insights into evictions governance and tenant movements during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic effects have served to thrust rental housing insecurity into the public spotlight. Documenting the extent of pandemic displacement in the City of Ottawa and province of Ontario, Canada, this article provides insight on evictions governance, urban marginality, and social struggle. The socio-legal developments surrounding pandemic evictions offer a compelling case in which to analyze the governance of urba…
Strategic incapacitation, scaled up
In June 2018, the 44th Group of Seven (G7) Summit was held in La Malbaie in the Province of Quebec, Canada. Drawing from geographic and sociological literature on protest and social movement policing and applying the concept of scale, we examine techniques of summit security deployed for the event. Analysing the results of access to information requests, we investigate pre-summit planning as well as the surveillance operations undertaken by milit…
Rethinking housing insecurity
The word “crisis” has come to define the housing field in Canada; that is, housing is being defined by crises that embody the institution of shelter. There simultaneously exists a housing shortage crisis, a real estate bubble, and a crisis of housing affordability. These forms of crises have dominated headlines and political party platforms in recent years. However, public discourse surrounding the housing field is predominantly focused on homeow…
The racialized logics of settler colonial policing
Over the past 20 years, critical infrastructure has become a central organizing node of national security policing. At the same time, ongoing Indigenous resistance to settler colonialism in Canada has highlighted the centrality of critical infrastructure as a network of dispossession, a focal point for insecurity governance practices, and a fixation of settler colonial policing efforts. Scrutinizing an internal police report released under Canada…
Reverberations of empire
This article engages with internal records produced by Canadian government agencies surrounding the conflict in Sri Lanka in 2009 to examine techniques and discourses of surveillance and criminalisation directed at Tamil refugees and their supporters in the diaspora. These records demonstrate that the Tamil diaspora was framed as terrorist-sympathisers, human smugglers, and unlawful protesters, and that Tamil asylum seekers were framed as terrori…
Settler governmentality in Canada and the Algonquins of Barriere Lake
In September 2009, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper declared to the global media that Canada had ‘no history of colonialism’. Such expressions of the post-colonial Canadian imaginary are common, despite Canada’s dubious legacy of settler colonialism. This article uses Canada’s Access to Information Act to examine how mechanisms of security are mobilized against members of the Algonquins of Barriere Lake (ABL), whose persistent calls for sov…
