This Matters

On class divisions, and why not everyone’s stories get told


Listen Later

Guest: Deborah Dundas, books editor for the Toronto Star

A recent Statistics Canada survey found 1 in 4 Canadians would not be able to cover an unexpected expense of $500 if they had to. Almost half were deeply concerned about their ability to afford rent or housing. It’s an important time to talk about class divisions in Canada. And Deborah Dundas wants to do that through her new book “On Class.” She’s on the podcast today to talk about why we need to talk about class, and what not talking about it means for whose stories get told and by whom.

This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz and Paulo Marques.
