Our MP Niki Ashton took the time to address racism in Canada in the wake of the George Floyd murder.

She stated that in April three indigenous people were killed by Winnipeg police and we must accept the fact that systemic racism is alive and well in Canada and we must end the poverty faced by indigenous and black communities’ poverty that was exposed by the COVID 19 pandemic.

Ashton added that we must respect the rights of indigenous people defending their lands from corporations and we must speak out against those inciting hatred and violence.
