On April 20, Toronto Star columnist and Newstalk 1010 host, Desmond Cole, gave a powerful deputation at a Toronto Police Services Board meeting. He then stood in protest, calling on the board to restrict police access to \\u2018carding\\u2019 data. The meeting\\xa0eventually adjourned, and Cole was escorted out by police officers.

For almost five years now, Cole has\\xa0been using his platform as a journalist to report on and push back against \\u2018carding\\u2019\\u2014which disproportionately affects\\xa0Black people\\u2014by the Toronto Police.

Cole\\u2014former host of CANADALAND COMMONS\\u2014joins Jesse Brown to discuss recent criticism he\\u2019s received from fellow journalists and the public, how mainstream media has failed to highlight the damaging effects of carding, and his\\xa0new CBC documentary The Skin We\\u2019re In, which explores anti-Black racism in Canada.
