Understanding Hate – Interview with Experts

The Canadian Practitioners Network for the Prevention of Radicalization and Extremist Violence (CPN-PREV) and the Organization for the Prevention of Violence (OPV) hosted their first webinar -in a series of webinars- where experts were interviewed to shed light on hate in Canada, as well as the responses of civil society and government.
This first webinar focused on (1) the manifestations of hate and hate groups in Canada, (2) the impact of hate on communities, and (3) federal government policy responses to this issue.
