Shake La Cabane cancelled after race scandal
Shake La Cabane was a family event planned for Sunday in Rosemont but it’s been cancelled after La Presse did a piece about its ticket pricing policy: white adults were to pay $25.83 while Indigenous adults and people of colour would pay $15.18. It’s become a bit of a scandal.

I’m reading through some of the comments, which are really harsh. People are saying this organization should basically be shut down because of they’re racist. I wonder if this level of vitriol and outrage is intensified because it’s Quebec.
If this happened in any other province, would people have just simply pointed out that pricing based solely on economic situation would have gone down better with the general public than skin colour?

I hope there is no place in Canada where one 10-year old child has to pay $13 to attend a public event and another has to pay nothing, because of the colour of their skin.

If you consider how income inequality and race intersect, that’s basically all of Canada.

I’m sure a lot of black/Indigenous/POC people find this to be very condescending. “Oh, you’re black (/Ind/POC)? Well OBVIOUSLY you’re poor.”

Completely racist policies, this charity is a joke and makes Quebec look like a joke. Can you imagine the protests and store-smashing that would happen by certain people on the community if white people were given free entrance while black people had to pay? They would literally burn down streets.

Michael, Demarcus, you white guys, you’re so funny.

“They” resort to fire and burning when they don’t get their way. Okay.
