KJIPUKTUK (Halifax) – I am glad Halifax Regional Police (HRP) chief
Jean-Michel Blais is retiring. I am happy for him, and happy for
Halifax.
Jean-Michel Blais is retiring. I am happy for him, and happy for
Halifax.
In the seven years that Blais was in charge he didn’t do anything to
address racism within the HRP force in a substantive way. Despite plenty
of evidence to the contrary he continued to den= that the problem even
exists.
Racism pervades the department, and I am not talking about bad apples
(although they are part of the problem). I am talking about the
systemic variety.
Let me give you an example.
