In city’s across Canada, Canadians are making their voices heard in a powerful display of unity against police brutality and systemic racism. From Halifax to Toronto, and in Ottawa, thousands filled the streets in solidarity with the George Floyd protests in the United States and around the world.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined the protest in Ottawa and took a knee with the gathered protesters. Abigail Bimman takes us inside those protests.
Thousands took to the streets in Toronto on Friday and as Eric Sorensen explains, they’re calling for change in this country, too.
The police shooting of a 26-year-old Indigenous woman in Edmundston, N.B. has raised all kinds of questions. Chantel Moore’s family, Indigenous leaders and Canada’s Indigenous Services Minister want to know why the officer who made a wellness check on her, shot her and killed her. Silass Brown has more on that story.
U.S. President Trump on Friday hailed what he called “a great day” for George Floyd and equality. But that’s not how millions of other people see it. Trump has called on authorities to “dominate the streets.” As Jackson Proskow reports, there are growing concerns police officers are responding too harshly to peaceful protesters.
Canada added 290,000 new jobs in May, which makes it the best month in history. But that comes after the worst two months ever and millions of people are still out of work. Mike Armstrong reports.
In April, charges were laid against three police officers in Ottawa in an alleged tow truck kick back scheme. In this Global News investigation, insiders say the problem is much more widespread. Mike Le Couteur reports.

Way to many people jumping on the band wagon. Multiculturalism haven't worked anywhere over the long term. Certain culture work together and others don't and will only tolerate one another with laws implement by government. So why should the government be allowed to social program the citizens of the country. Just take a look around the world ,it's obvious witch cultures can get along and ones that don't.
5:06 there was a woman using her phone while driving and the cop didn't give a maple syrup. hall monitors
Tell me where systemic racism is.
Tell which institution applies racist ideas as the core of the institution.
The people in this video are saying phrases that makes no difference, they are going home saying to themselves 'I made a difference'
Totally disgust
BTW the media had a RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that the news was provided in an unbiased stance until the late '80's
Now we have media outlets injecting bias/affiliations to upset everyone and they hope we turn on each other because they will cash in on our fear and uncertainty.
Indigenous people are the blacks in Canada, they're the most oppressed group in Canada.
Why are we always shown US news? We are Canada, they talk like we are the same country.
Idiots for taking a knee.
Reform all Canadian prisons.
if aisan lives dont matter then ur lives dont matter either
what a soft human beings wow look at those soft ppl all together in one spot DAMN!!
Be vegan, and you won't get the violence that comes with prey and predator relatioships. Doing so means cleaning up, using soaps and incents in the toilets, in the sinks, and putting a good smell in the aid.
The one guy they shoved in stomach with a shield , if he had an ostomy they coulda killed him!!! Then the elderly man the one officer was gonna help him then officer in back pushes him to go forward , he didn’t trip the cop on left side pushed him
No cameras but should be able to look at time of call coming in , officer being dispatched out, arriving on scene , entering said house , Leaving said house , was he in and out of the house in 3 mins or an hour ? Was she already shot and that’s why a wellness check was called for or did he see an opportunity?
Wait so a cop kills a guy in another country and is charged with murder and this is how Canadians react? Pathetic fml.
Como es que un don nadie aora tiene todo el honor del mundo,en verdad es un mundo loco,e oido de mexicanos que an sido assesinados en el Paso Texas y nadie dice nada
The wheel of Karma is wheeling now in the five eyes countries …..
The chicken is coming home to roost….
Not one indian hindu in support for black lives matter anywhere to be seen.
Where is Trudeau – Batman from Wuhan?
correct me if im wrong but i dont think there is that much racism in canada
What does everyone want? Do they want the officers to back up because the officers who killed George is arrested. Now what do they want? Peace? Alright what do you want now? There's no peace because there are protesters. And they want peace now what do they want? They want peace. They are doing the opposite they are breaking things; also yelling and trashing. THEY ARE SAYING SOMETHING THEY DONT WANT BUT THEY ARE DOING STUFF THEY DONT WANT AND BLAMING THE COPS AND PRESIDENT
you can tell people to turn around but you cant force them OR hit them
I am a little upset
95% of them all are Europeans
Trudeau is destroying Canada. And we are letting him. He locks us down in our homes for months, spends billions of our money and destroys our economy. When the opportunity arise, he runs into a crowd of people. Covid and BLM is meant to divide us. The problem is class warfare and globalists like a Trudeau.
Who trains those police force in brutality ?
The government!
Divide and conquer is at work!… find out who's behind this unrest!
