Does Canada need legislation against Black and Indigenous hair discrimination?

Guests: Angelyn Francis and Annette Ejiofor, Toronto Star journalists

Canada also has a long history of hair discrimination against Black and Indigenous people. Is it time for Canada to make hair discrimination illegal?
