Victim of 'hate-motivated' incident in Kitchener speaks out,
calls for more action to combat hate
--- Quote ---
>
>
> A Kitchener woman who fell victim to an alleged
“hate-motivated” assault in that city earlier this week is
speaking out about her experience and calling for stronger
action to combat hate.
>
> Early Wednesday afternoon, Milfrah Abid, who is an anti-racism
advocate in the region, attended a busy DriveTest Centre on
Ottawa Street North.
>
> While there, a female patron reportedly uttered racist remarks
against brown people.
>
> “Really, you’re gonna be racist here in the DriveTest,” Abid
is heard saying to the woman in a number of videos posted on
Twitter of the incident.
>
> “Everybody heard you here making a racist comment about brown
people. … You say (explicative) Brown people. A lot of people
heard that. … It’s not nice. It’s not polite.”
>
> The woman in the video then appears to become agitated and is
heard saying, “Ya, and neither is this,” before grabbing Abid’s
phone and throwing it at her, saying that she did not give her
permission to be recorded.
>
> This afternoon, Abid, along with representatives from the
Coalition of Muslim Women of KW (CMW) and the National Council
of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) held a news conference at the far end
of the plaza where the assault happened.
>
> “Nothing really prepares you for something like this,” shared
Abid, who is the coordinator of CMW’s Together Against
Islamophobia program and works to help victims of hate and
racism and train people to be active bystanders in such
incidents.
>
> “And it really begs the question, why would anyone treat
anyone like that? Just because of how they look or how they
dress? Why is hate so easy? And why can we give each other a
chance instead? This is why I'm here to say it again, that our
society should have no place for hate. The colour of your skin
or the faith you follow should never be a reason for someone to
treat you as inferior.”
>
> In her remarks, she also reiterated a call by CMW and the
National Indian Council of Muslims’ for the federal government
to do more to combat hate crimes by establishing a national
support fund for survivors of hate and developing new hate crime
legislation. Abid also said that the province must also do its
part by delivering an anti-racism strategy where social service
agencies are required to provide regular training on anti-racism
and anti-Islamophobia for frontline staff, and investing in
public education about Islamophobia and all forms of hate.
>
> Lastly, Abid urged people to not be passive bystanders and
report hate when they experience or witness it.
>
> “I can tell you firsthand that being assaulted to do something
inside you. It hits you not just at the skin level, but triggers
something some deep fears and anxiety within. This is not
something anyone should have to experience"
>
>

Why do you relativist journalists say "alleged hate-motivated
assault" and put quotes around hate-motivated, its obvious in
the video that this was a racist assault, you dumb asses.

After ‘disgraceful’ remarks, First Nations leaders call on
Quebec MNA to resign
--- Quote ---
>
>
> The Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador (AFNQL) is
calling on a Quebec politician to step down after his
“contemptuous and disgraceful” remarks during a city council
meeting.
>
> Dufour claimed Val-d’Or’s administration inherited a “pile of
s–t,” in part due to bombshell allegations in 2015 that police
officers with the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) allegedly sexually and
physically assaulted Indigenous women in the community. Dufour
went on to claim the Radio-Canada investigation by flagship
program Enquête — which first shed light on the alleged abuse at
the hands of provincial police in the community — was “full of
lies.”
>
> The investigation helped prompt a Quebec inquiry that examined
relations between Indigenous communities and the provincial
government. A final scathing final report by the Viens
Commission called on the province to apologize to First Nations
and Inuit peoples for systemic discrimination as part of 142
recommendations.
>
> During the council meeting, Dufour also criticized the
conclusions of that public inquiry.
>
> Ghislain Picard, chief of the AFNQL, said Monday that Dufour’s
comments before the council were “totally unacceptable” and have
caused damage.
>
> Dufour doesn’t deserve the kind of privilege or responsibility
that comes with representing his riding in Quebec’s national
assembly, according to Picard.
>
> “The most honourable thing for him to do at this point is to
resign,” Picard said.
>
> Picard said Dufour’s initial remarks are still “inexcusable”
and have eroded trust in the Legault government.
>
> “I think it’s really troubling that if you’re a person in
political power to make these kind of blatant — and they are
racist — remarks,” Nakuset said. “It’s not helpful at all.”

It's OK for racist slurs to be "white".
It's OK for hockey to be "white".
Surrey parents pen letter to Hockey Canada demanding action on
racism
--- Quote ---
>
> Nearly two weeks after parents of players on a Surrey minor
hockey team spoke out with allegations of on-ice racism, the
group is taking their concerns to senior officials saying
nothing as been done.
>
> Last Thursday, parents with the U11 team and others in the
Surrey Minor Hockey Association penned a letter to Hockey Canada
saying they want to see action on the issue.
>
> “We’re all kind of getting frustrated that nothing has been
communicated to us at this point. It’s been pretty long since BC
Hockey said they were investigating the incident, and to this
day we still have received no communication from a third party
or from BC Hockey,” Justin Sayson, assistant coach with the team
and a parent of a player, told Global News.
>
> The allegations relate to a tournament game during Family Day
weekend, when players with the Surrey team — the majority of
whom are South Asian — reported their opponents used a variety
of slurs including “banana,” “monkey” and the n-word.
>
> BC Hockey confirmed to Global News it is currently looking
into 65 reports of maltreatment. That figure includes some
racially-motivated incidents, however the organization did not
confirm how many.
>
> Meanwhile, a family that reported allegations of racism in the
Coquitlam Minor Hockey Association also continues to wait for
answers from Hockey Canada.
>
> That family, who Global News has agreed not to identify to
protect them from further harassment and because a criminal
investigation is underway, alleges their son — who is South
Asian — was subjected to racism and bullying that escalated into
an off-ice assault by an opposing team’s parent.
>
> “He was actually assaulted and called a brown piece of s–t by
this dad … We never were once even spoken to by Hockey Canada.
Like for me, if you’re doing an investigation, you should be
speaking to all parties involved,” the boy’s mother told Global
News.
>
> “Hockey, Canada and all these associations need to get their
act together … it’s time to make a change. It’s time to make
hockey for everyone, for people that look like my son.”
>

Collective of community groups demand an end to racial profiling
in Quebec
--- Quote ---
>
>
> Three years after the death of George Floyd, a Black man who
died under the knee of a Minnesota police officer, racial
profiling continues to wreak havoc, including in Quebec,
according to the Ligue des droits et libertés (LDL). The group
is leading a collective of organizations demanding profound
changes in the practices of police officers in the province.
>
> “We can no longer be satisfied with reacting when these
incidents happen,” she said during a news conference on
Thursday. “We need to be proactive and not wait for the next
Black or racialized person to die.”
>
> Exumé regularly hears accounts from racialized people who have
been targeted because of their skin colour or their clothing,
which she says happens far too often.
>
> “For these people, simply existing arouses suspicion from
police officers,” she said. “Everything becomes a so-called
valid reason for them to be questioned.”
>
> Statistics show that between 2014 and 2017, Black or
racialized people were four to five times more likely to be
stopped by police than whites. In Repentigny, from 2016 to 2019,
they were three times more likely to be stopped
>
> “We have people who refuse to go to certain neighbourhoods,
who develop a way of behaving with police officers and who
develop a certain resilience in the face of discrimination
because they experience it too often,” he explained.
> Article content
>
> “It’s all well to say that training will be given and that the
situation is being taken seriously,” Exumé said. “The fact is
racialized people continue to be discriminated against.”

Canada to recognize historical significance of 1920s ban on
Chinese immigrants
--- Quote ---
>
>
> Parks Canada Minister Steven Guilbeault says the federal
government has designated the 1923 ban on immigration by people
of Chinese origin as an event of historical significance.
>
> July marks the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Immigration
Act, which banned Chinese people from entering Canada.
>
> Speaking at a reception for Asian Heritage Month, Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau says the ban was immoral and unfair.
>
> In a press release, Parks Canada says the legislation was the
result of anti-Asian racism, and lasted for 24 years.
>
> The act also required all Chinese persons living in Canada to
register with the government and carry certificates with photo
identification, or else risk fines, detainment or deportation.
>
> Trudeau says the government plaque that will be commissioned
to recognize those events will serve as a reminder of how far
Canada has come.
>
> "Whether it’s the Chinese Exclusion Act or other similar
examples from our past, we know that diversity in Canada hasn’t
always been seen as a source of our strength," Trudeau says.
>
> "It took a lot of work and determination to change this."
