Racism Allegations at the SPVM in Montréal-Nord, the Community Response, the Political Fallout

In this episode of The Week Is Rover, we’re on the ground in Montréal-Nord for a protest at SPVM Station 39, where the entire night patrol has been sidelined over allegations of racist violence. Back at the studio, Chris talks to comedian Renzel Dashington about the community’s reaction to the news, then Savannah talks to artist and human rights activist Ricardo Lamour about the political fallout.
