Plante, Dagher to testify at profiling case
Mayor Plante and her new police chief, Fady Dagher, have been called to testify in a class action suit over racial profiling by SPVM police. The head of the police brotherhood, recent police chief Sylvain Caron and other honchos are also expected to be grilled over why, after 40 years of complaints and promises, profiling continues.

At least we know it can’t be due to systemic racism, which doesn’t exist here in Quebec.

The denial of systemic racism and the refusal to even discuss it are perfect examples of systemic racism.

what are you two talking about? is this some woke make-em-up word.

steph are you new here? The woke is strong with many regular commentators here. It is what it is.

Mark, indeed! Wokeism is like a religion, and trying to convince anyone that either a) you should switch to my religion or 2) your religion is wrong; takes more time and space than is appropriate for the little comment boxes here. 🙂

It’s sad that some people think the idea of treating others with respect is a disease.
Chris 11:17 on 2023-02-09 Permalink
Kevin, that would be sad. Happily, no one here has said that.

Haha don’t interpret my comment as an attack on whatever “wokeism” is (the history of the right co-opting terms from the left is fascinating if also infuriating). My point was that there seems to be a lot of sarcasm and facetiousness that is getting missed in the first few comments.

Chris, you were the one reprimanding me a few days ago:
BTW it’s “Türkiye” now, not “Turkey”.
How woke is that?

He’ll likely miss the irony in that as well.

And I assumed he was taking the piss with that comment. Sarcasm has a real hard time on the internet!

It’s hard to tell, but there’s certainly been a pattern of high-handed digs at purported wokeism that’s rather tiresome.
