A man arrested for drug offences was racially profiled by Ontario Provincial Police in Leamington, a Superior Court judge has ruled, deeming evidence against him inadmissible as a result. "Anti-Black bias, whether implicit or otherwise, must be denounced," the judge wrote.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she has asked the Auditor-General to expedite his review into allegations that government officials interfered with the provincial health authority’s contracting and procurement processes to the benefit of private companies.Ms. Smith said in a statement issued Saturday that she has ordered her staff to co-operate fully in that work and has also told Alberta Health Services to speed up its own internal review.
