Why is Bloc Quebec the only party not in favor of this motion? Because they will be able to check, research and monitor systemic racism within the RCMP. If such a motion is passed, it will open door to one day research and monitor Quebec's systemic racism. We all know where this is going: all of Quebec and Canada is well aware of the systemic racism within Quebec and it will be officialized and backed data and Science! The truth must come out.

[@arhamullah36]

Singh is taking politics way too emotionally, will he be acting up like this each time he hears "No". Moreover, the way he acted in the house of commons is also unprecedented. I am saying this as visible minority...he needs to stop hiding behind the "'racist" card. There have been several bills and motions which have been rejected, other MPs have the right to dismiss ideas, just as Singh has the right to bring them up. There are ways that politicians govern themselves and act within the house of commons. With the way he acted he seemed like a high-schooler, who disagreed with the debate of his class mate....

[@2greenfeet]

Tone policing (also tone trolling, tone argument, and tone fallacy) is an ad hominem (personal attack) and anti-debate tactic based on criticizing a person for expressing emotion. Tone policing detracts from the validity of a statement by attacking the tone in which it was presented rather than the message itself.

We need to realize that systemic racism is an issue in Canada as well, and that we aren't better than our neighbours to the south (and west, I see you, Alaskans). But... He deserved what he got for being very unprofessional in a parliamentary setting. Given parliamentary immunity (which does indeed apply here), I wouldn't call his remarks defamatory, but it is unacceptable to call someone a racist based on how they voted on a motion. It is very understandable that he made that remark, but he should have apologized when asked. For the benefit of the doubt, I do not assume malice on his part, but if a federal party leader is unable to control his temper after 6 years of service in a provincial legislature, almost 3 years as a federal party leader and 1 year as an MP in the House, then I am not sure I could support his character.

When someone denies racism exists in Canada, it signals that this person has, at most, a very partial understanding of how systemic barriers are embedded in our everyday lives. It’s alarming when these words come from the mouths of political party leaders.

There are no "systemic barriers". None. If you disagree, start by naming one.

[@marcobernardo2527]

"Institutional racism (also known as systemic racism) is a form of racism expressed in the practice of social and political institutions. It can lead to such issues as discrimination in criminal justice, employment, housing, health care, political power and education, among other issues." Jagmeet Singh is taking things too far and I do not think that he has the support from the Canadian public that he thinks he has. A few incidents with officers does not represent an entire organization having systemic racism. I appreciate efforts to improve accountability and implementing things like body cams to add additional evidence to situations that arise. The RCMP as a whole has had a long tradition of striving for high standards of law enforcement. Canada expanded westward in a much more peaceful manner compared to the western expansion of the United States. That was mostly due to the relatively peaceful conduct of the RCMP. As someone raised in Canada, Jagmeet Singh should respect Canadian history more.
