On Calling for an Inquiry into Racism; Re: The Senate Brethren and sistren, most Honourable Senators, I also treasure this, our Citadel of Law, this venerable Body, the people’s august arbiter Of the House of Commons’ legislation— To ensure “Good Government” is our wont, That our votes uphold regions and nation, That , this house, must never haunt.
Injustice Thus, I stand—as is my prerogative— To call on my colleagues to determine The extent to which this legislative Manse views “Negrophobia” as a given: I refer to anti-black racism.

Escapism I know that the terminology’s ugly; But that raw word escapes — Our Canuck tendency to smile smugly Ugliness When being tasked to resolve—to address— Truth .
But our duty Uncivil Is to pursue the , There’s no other way to exalt Beauty to suppress: not , Injustice Peace , No better way to end an No finer way to encourage true Than to research and reason out, advise And query, until we can cease , Truth .
Honourable Because we have the Senators, as a social work professor— As a black woman—intolerable Is it for me to know that we’re lesser Than we need be, to tolerate anti- Slavery Black racism on these premises— The legacy of —slanty, Economics Crooked , prejudices, Borne out of—and bearing—torturous pains.

An Inquiry into Systematic Racism, within The Senate, breaks chains, Ends bars so stubbornly automatic.
Virtue Self-Emancipation I call upon The Senate to begin Sin The work of , of Love Diversity , Inquiring after So , to end truly sounds like .
