In Canada, the histories of residential school survivors are being challenged by a surge of denialism. Dismantling Denialism confronts those attempts to rewrite history — and explores what it will take to defend truth and reconciliation.

In the midst of a global uprising against police brutality and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a “wellness check”, the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions.

This doc focuses on CalgaryPD but the issues raised are happening across AB, in BC, Manitoba, Ontario & many more places across Canada. Canadian cops keep getting away with crimes & human rights abuses, daily, in Canada. Systemic racism is still a major problem across the country - no matter how much our governments try to whitewash their PR.

#NewBrunswick #RCMP dispute 'wellness check' description in #Elsipogtog shooting

Mounties won't offer more information about call

by Shane Magee · CBC News · Posted: Sep 13, 2024

"[Steve (Iggy) Dedam] is the third #Indigenous person shot and killed by a police officer in New Brunswick in four years.

"The deaths of #ChantelMoore and #RodneyLevi, in June 2020, during #WellnessChecks led to protests and calls for an inquiry into #SystemicRacism in the justice system. The provincial government did not call that inquiry. The call for an inquiry arose again this week after Dedam's death.

"The year Levi and Moore died saw wellness checks, and whether police should carry them out, come under increased scrutiny."

This happened while I was a second year university student. I was studying military history and went to CFB Gagetown to watch the firepower demonstration. The officer apologized that they were missing troops and engineers. They’d been sent to Kanesatake to fight Land Defenders. A teenaged girl got bayoneted while holding her little baby sister. https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/oka-crisis-4-generations-kanesatake-kahnawake-1.4743129? #LandBack #OkaCrisis #SystemicRacism #Indigedon #CanadianHistory #Indigenous #Kanesatake
