Trust, cameras and cops
Fady Dagher finally bringing down the hammer on abusive police in Montreal North has met a deadpan lack of surprise among Black men in the area.
SMF has to say something about abusive police, but the situation went well beyond trust being broken between police and communities a long time ago.
Maybe our cops will get body cams now, but after this fuss has died down, maybe she’ll hold some consultations and have a report written eventually.

I notice nothing real from the premier, who I assume can’t figure out how to say this was bad but don’t worry, Quebec has no systemic racism.
That said I had no idea SMF was with a Black man, and she really did just say “there’s systemic racism and profiling and we need to talk about it”, which is a pretty big statement. That was my biggest problem with VP.

After the fuss dies down the party line will be that there was an isolated racism problem, but we took care of it, and there is no systemic racism in Quebec.
