Discrimination: Media Thursday and Marginalized Groups

discrimination: They acknowledged racism, discrimination and violence that has led to areas, including Halifax and Toronto, banning police in uniform in the parade, but went in another direction, according to The Chronicle Herald. We recognize there are very serious concerns about discrimination and violence towards marginalized groups in communities across Canada and it is na ve to think there is zero racism, homophobia or transphobia in the CBRM, the statement said. We've fostered a strong, progressive working relationship built on collaboration and mutual understanding; we're grateful for the positive impact it's had and it's something we want to keep building on, wrote the two organizations in a joint statement released to media Thursday. But, when it comes to policing here, there is absolutely zero tolerance for discrimination. Toronto's chapter of Black Lives Matter halted the parade last July for a half-hour until Pride organizers signed a list of their demands and in January, Pride Toronto adopted their demands for the next parade. The union for Toronto's police asked the city in early May to pull their annual 260,000 grant to the parade after police floats were banned. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
