       “hate-motivated” assault in that city earlier this week is
       speaking out about her experience and calling for stronger

       > Early Wednesday afternoon, Milfrah Abid, who is an anti-racism

       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

       >
       > “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.”

       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.

       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.

       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.”

       and have eroded trust in the Legault government.

       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.”
