Veteran Toronto Star editor Haroon Siddiqui, brown and Muslim, has spent a life on the media front lines, covering conflicts both global and local, and tracked rising xenophobia. In his recently released memoir, My Name is not Harry, Siddiqui traces his journey from India to Canada; And his extraordinary career that took him from warzones to the corridors of power in Canada. Upon arriving in Canada in the late 1960s, Siddiqui did what many newly arrived immigrants would not dare do - he refused to change who he was. It was this unabashed self-confidence and sense of dignity that made him a champion of multiculturalism and a pioneer of cross-cultural journalism. And as the world started to become increasingly Anti-Muslim after 9/11, Siddiqui was one of the first Canadian journalists to interrogate the real motivations behind  the war on terror . Q&A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase. Ticket registration for this event is required: Free tickets for this event are available to book via Eventbrite.
