Last week, Senegal's government alleged Gatineau, Que., police exercised "humiliating physical and moral violence" on the diplomat by handcuffing and beating her in an altercation that ended with the diplomat's hospitalization.
On Monday, Freeland was asked what about the incident was unacceptable and whether Canada has apologized to Senegal. Senegal's government had called on Ottawa to "vigorously denounce and strongly condemn this racist and barbaric act.""Any instance of brutality, of police brutality, towards anyone in our country, whether they are a Canadian or a visitor or a diplomat, is, of course, entirely unacceptable," Freeland said.
CBC News reached out to Global Affairs Canada to ask about a possible apology to Senegal. The department pointed to a Tuesday afternoon tweet indicating Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly spoke with her Senegalese counterpart, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Senegalese Abroad Aïssata Tall Sall, earlier in the day.
In Senegal, this is how the polices treats the people every day even during peaceful protests to denounce injustice, and lack of liberty with the latest gov. Canada is exercising law in his land. Being a member of the president 🇸🇳 family doesn’t count in Canada. In 🇸🇳 she can
What she didn't condemn was the diplomat trashing the rental unit and attacking police.
Wow! Do I need to explain?
I THOUGHT cafreeland and JustinTrudeau WERE ALL IN ON BRUTALITY.. OH YA ONLY FOR UNVAXED
What was the Diplomat doing in the first place ?
She owed $45,000 to her landlord, shows the type of person she is. Muslims should not be allowed into Canada, plain and simple. Why is it 90% of refugees all come from Muslim countries?
She resembles her father.
How about the government of Senegal pays that landlord the 45,000 that he’s owed… and apologizes to the police for punching and biting them. Then kick that deadbeat diplomat out of the country…
Un manque de respect total. Elle est diplomate et les policiers devraient sont censés le savoir l'inviolabilité de son domicile
She's waking up. Wow!
She condemned police brutality. She did not say the diplomat was brutalized. The headline writer knowingly implied that she did. Ms Freeland deserves an apology.
This was ok and so was illegally freezing people's bank accounts. She is in no position to tell people what's right and whats wrong.
Altercation ?
And what about the police brutality that happened in ottawa this year. Oh ya they were terrorists.
Did you ever see Freeland’s TED speech before she entered politics? She warned about the global technocrats taking over the world. Now she is one of them!?
She would be the one who knows best about FASCIST police!
Trampling old ladies with police horses is cool though.
She and her merry gang of incompetents (ref: gmbutts and the like) should take up other work.
Might want to watch the body cams first before commenting CF. The individual punched one officer and bite another. When did that happen.
Someone needs to clarify: did the diplomat bite the officer? If so, I would suggest Foreign Affairs declare the diplomat persona non grata and request or require her expulsion from Canada.
What really happened?. What did the police do, and why did they do it?
Maybe the 'person' shouldn't fucking bite Canadian police officers. JFC
The diplomat shouldn't have assaulted the officers if they didn't want them to get physical. Don't assault cops, it really isn't that hard.
Stay in your own lane, Freeland.
And she\\him\\her etc. is the biggest conspiracy theorist in Canada When you destroy a country blameRussia TeamTrudeau cdnpoli TrudeauMustGo
ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS A DIPLOMAT OTHERWISE SHE WOULD SAY NOTHING.
Wow!! Way to pass judgement!! Wtf!!? But that’s what your party does!! Excellent distraction from your failures!!
where's the video!!!!!!!!!! denouncing it before investigation is just so typical cafreeland JustinTrudeau
Chrystia Freeland is a nazi .......prove me wrong ........cbc your state news
What's moral violence?
Politics over the defence of Canadian law enforcement done by the book !
Is this the same diplomat who trashed a house with their disgusting behavior and hygiene?
Beatification from the bought and paid for CBC
Police brutality...Let the investigation go on before anyone is accused of it. There is two sides of the story and someone is trying to cover his or her rear end.
As long as it is against Canadians she is fine with it though
She does not get the irony?
The federal government has a habit of endorsing police brutality in the Ottawa area!
She should wait until an investigation is done. Seems to be popular these days to comment on things without facts
can she replace the current PM, who seems to be jetting off on holidays most days?
she's had a rough couple years.. this doesn't make up for it
