One of the first Indigenous women to join the RCMP in Manitoba is the lead plaintiff in a proposed class-action lawsuit that alleges systemic racism within the force.

A statement of claim filed last week in Federal Court alleges that Margorie Hudson and other employees were subjected to racism by colleagues and management.

The allegations have not been proven in court and a spokeswoman for the RCMP said it would be inappropriate to comment as the matter is before the court. The lawsuit says Hudson had a high success rate in solving difficult cases, but when she asked to be considered for promotion "the plaintiff was told that she should be happy the RCMP had recruited her in the first place."

"It's very similar to what happened with the Me Too movement," said lawyer David Klein, who represents Hudson.

If any police 'farce' is to be defunded, its this Boys club. Constant problems with professionalism as a whole, They control firearms and we have a massive ILLEGAL firearm problem. Racism has been a huge problem since the 60's, that's a lot of racism!

I have questions. Why didn't she do this during her 20 year career? Why is it only now, after another 11 years, that she chose to do this? Seems she only decided to do this after the government started dog whistling about 'systemic racism' in policing...

This is the new way to get promotions/salary increases/fianancial rewards in Trud’s corrupt Canada. Just scream racism. Ideological Multikulti’s amazing.

GailVazOxlade Putting a woman in the lead of a predominantly white male force does nothing to address their systemic sexism issues either

After Gestapo Bill Blair dragged the RCMP Commissioner into a committee expecting her to throw her troops under the bus and seeing it backfire, they found their inside man. I've never seen a government so determined to portray its own people as racists, ever! Organized crime.

trapdinawrpool Alleges because not proven in court, I would like to say “blows the whistle” 3

Much of the Racism in Canada is all to do with, who owns the country, who was here first, who is better. Mediation could be required at the work place, on this. Have been the Middle person. and THE ANIMALS WERE HERE FIRST😂

In other news......

RCMP is kind of screwed. Get ready for big pay out. I mean Trudeau and top RCMP official have said there is systemic racism in the RCMP. They r hooped

There is racism in every job and career everywhere on this planet. Has been forever and will be in the future. Its human nature. 😑

Trash

Get to work on real issues stop the stupidity morons

Well. That didn’t take long...

IRPlawyer Wondered how long it would be before the legal community got in on the act...

All about the money.

It will never be about racism against white men victimized by 30 years of preferential policies. It will never be about systemic racism against poor white Cdns denied sibsidized housing or white cdns males denied entry to med or engineering schools because of quotas

Disband.

No one cares

Racism will never go away, just like viruses never go away. The only thing we can do is educate and manage racism the best we can. So when you see stories like this, it does not shock me or make me gasp, next week it will be a story on racism in Universities.

Honestly? Sounds like a diversity hire that expected special treatment.

But, but, but the RCMP Commissioner said that there is NO RACISM In the RCMP !

wow

Stop the insanity.
