Quebec has turned down funds aimed at addressing systemic racism in the courts The Quebec government has turned down federal funding aimed at combating systemic racism in the criminal justice system, saying it doesn’t agree with the program’s approach.

“We are not party to any funding agreement involving Impact of Race and Culture Assessments, as Quebec doesn’t subscribe to the approach on which the funding program is based, namely systemic racism."

Because it does not exist in QC...

Parents decry police protest response after baby exposed to tear gas at Montreal family event | CBC News Parents share how their family day turned into a nightmare after they were caught in the middle of a police intervention.

The incident of the family getting tear gassed at the pride event shows how this illegal practice by the SPVM affects all citizens. The mayor Valerie Plante needs to make the SPVM end this policy or even more people will be harmed.
www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Contrary to the statement by the SPVM, it is used by the police even when there is no danger to public safety. The real danger is how the overuse of these harmful chemical substances by police undermine our democratic rights.

Our clinic has seen an increase of use of tear gas and pepper spray by the SPVM at peaceful protests. It has sadly become routine, particularly at protests by marginalized communities.

I’m Facing Prison for My Climate Activism. Here’s Why. I’d planned to block the taxiway at Manchester Airport by glueing my hands to the tarmac.

"We had been planning to enter Manchester Airport’s airfield — provided it was safe to do so — to block the taxiway by glueing our hands to the tarmac.

We didn’t get near the airport, but I have been held in HMP Styal, a women’s prison... ever since."

Terminal pétrolier bloqué à Montréal: trois mois de prison à la maison pour un candidat du Parti vert Un activiste qui se présente pour le Parti vert est condamné à trois mois de prison à la maison pour avoir bloqué un terminal pétrolier de Montréal.

Neither the judge nor the journalist have their facts straight about Michèle's involvement in the bridge action. One small point for the record. The bigger point lost in this trial is the violence, destruction & death perpetrated by fossil fuel companies.

So many times it’s this— people pleading guilty for the sake of a plea deal or to get out of (at least here in Canada) provincial jails, which are dangerous, overcrowded institutions where folks facing bogus charges are forcibly mingled with folks on trial for murder and worse.
