CCP's actions are inflammatory, thus leading to the racists using the rope they have been given. I'm not saying it is good, justified, or anything like that, it's the reality of humanity. If you want to fix racism, go ahead, good luck with that. Until then, governments should probably do their best to avoid inflaming it. That does not mean the RCMP should not investigate when they see reason to.
Yikes...

How about, calling out and working to eliminate or reduce racism, and at the very least not contributing to it or dismissing people's experiences of it? That sound good?

Do you not see this as troubling that should be investigated? Or is it all slander?
I don't know if it's unusual or not either. Why just make an assumption about it and give the benefit of the doubt one way over the other without knowing?

As for my views on whether or not potentially illegal activity should be investigated, I've consistently been clear on here that Canada should ensure Canadian laws are being followed and stop any illegal activity going on inside our borders. Pretty simple.
