Now more than ever, Canadians need to call out racism when they see it GlobeBC
The Vancouver Police Department released this surveillance footage video of a suspect who assaulted a 92-year-old Asian man with dementia at a convenience store in East Vancouver on March 13, 2020. The suspect yelled racist remarks at the victim that included comments about COVID-19. Outside the store, the suspect shoved the elderly man, who hit his head on the ground. The suspect left the store before police arrived.
The President’s remarks are certainly egging on those looking to place blame. But to say Mr. Trump is responsible for racist displays here in Canada is to deny our own history.

This week singer Bryan Adams, who is vegan, unleashed a profane Twitter rant against “bat-eating, wet-market-animal selling, virus-making greedy bastards.” After he was excoriated for what sounded to many like a racist diatribe, he issued a lame apology and claimed he was only taking a stand against animal cruelty.
