Joyce Echaquan ceremony puts systemic racism back on Quebec campaign

Original: Cérémonie pour Joyce Echaquan 🔸Les chefs appelés à « arrêter de s’entêter » sur le racisme systémique https://www. lapre

A commemorative ceremony for Joyce Echaquan, the Atikamekw woman who died in a Quebec hospital in 2020 after filming staff insults, has become a flashpoint in the Quebec election campaign. Indigenous leaders and advocates are urging party leaders to 'stop being stubborn' and acknowledge systemic racism, an issue several politicians have refused to name.

Why now: The ceremony took place during the Quebec election campaign, reviving pressure on party leaders over their refusal to recognize systemic racism.
