Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller responds to a question during a news conference in Ottawa, on June 5, 2020.Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller says Canada needs a reckoning over a repeated and disgusting pattern of police violence against Indigenous people.
Miller was there to provide an update on the status of COVID-19 cases in Indigenous communities, but spent most of the nearly hour-long event answering questions about police violence and racism in Canada. “We need a larger reflection on changing the systems that do not do right by too many Indigenous people and racialized Canadians,” Trudeau said. Each of the incidents needs to be investigated fully, he said, but there are clearly larger issues that need to be tackled.“We have, continue to have, systemic racism in this country, systemic discrimination, that means racialized Canadians are vulnerable in these situations.
Quebec’s independent police investigation agency is going to help with the Edmundston shooting at the request of the RCMP, which is providing forensic support.
WRONG for MarcMillerVM to comment on Chantel Moore incident while under investigation and racist using race to fault police without facts yet known. He wants RCMPNB police to stand still if an attacker is 1st Nations? What would he have done differently?
Trudeau is the expert on treating 1st nations people. puglass
He hasn’t seen all the evidence in either situation and he’s already formed an opinion. Just the kind of person we need in a position of power
When is fordnation going to call BLM, yahoos for breaking social distancing rules?
Don’t the First Nations have independent police forces?

U.S. Embassy in Ottawa dimming lights for nine nights in honour of George FloydThe U.S. Embassy in Ottawa is dimming its lights in response to the widespread protest movement in the U.S. decrying police violence against Black people. If I can get to Ottawa can I gain refuse in their embassy claiming political asylum? Or maybe we can get 1,000's of people to do this at the same time and create a mass exodus from Canada, or at least make it look good and it would make the turd look bad. Will Trudeau be wearing his blackface?
