Quebec party leaders urged to stop denying systemic racism at Joyce Echaquan ceremony

Original: Cérémonie pour Joyce Echaquan 🔸Les chefs appelés à « arrêter de s’entêter » sur le racisme systémique https://www. lapre

A ceremony honouring Joyce Echaquan, the Atikamekw woman who died in a Quebec hospital in 2020 after facing racist abuse, has put the province's election campaign leaders under pressure. Indigenous representatives called on the party leaders to 'stop being stubborn' and finally acknowledge systemic racism in Quebec institutions, an issue several politicians have long refused to endorse during the provincial campaign.

Why now: Quebec's election campaign has revived the unresolved debate over whether the province will officially recognize systemic racism.
