Montreal Mayor’s Black Husband Repeatedly Stopped By Police For No Reason
Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada has voiced her support for a moratorium on police checks as a necessary step towards addressing allegations of racism within the city’s police service. This stance is bolstered by new research indicating that Black and Arab individuals in Montreal are significantly more likely to be stopped by police than their white counterparts. The study highlights that these disparities persist even when accounting for criminal offense rates, reinforcing concerns of systemic issues rather than isolated incidents. Calls for a public inquiry into police racism and racial profiling are also gaining momentum from community and civil liberties groups.
