Calls for a Public Inquiry into the Deaths of two Indigenous people from NB

NBWA cohosts Neil Clements, Matthew Martin and Dr. Timothy Christie discuss the untimely deaths of Joyce Echaquan in Quebec and Chantel Moore and Rodney Levi in New Brunswick and the role systemic racism played in the tragic ends to their lives. 

"There has always been racism," says Dr. Christie. "But in these days of cell phones and immediate video coverage and access to social media platforms, racism is being recorded. And these are clear and visible examples of the racism that has been happening to Black and Indigenous people for years. Everyone is finally seeing it. It's not new, but everyone finally sees it."

"The reality is, there's a Charter of Rights and Freedoms and a Human Rights Act because we have racism and discrimination," says Clements. "But the system as a whole isn't working. The province of New Brunswick needs a public inquiry into the deaths of Chantel Moore and Rodney Levi."

"The systems are not working for those people who are ending up shot and killed," said Christie.
