..Many of us had been watching with horror the United Airlines brutally dislodging a passenger from his seat and mercilessly dragging him through the aisle and off the plane, all to allegedly make space for their own employees in a flight the United says was oversold by them. Why did United choose to remove that particular man? Was it because he looked old? Was it because he didn't appear to be rich? Or was it because he looked foreign, not white, and United felt safer to remove him rather than pick on someone else? The insult and inanity of it hadn't fully sunk in when we awoke to the news of a black Canadian in Nova Scotia, forced to leave a trade skills competition attended by Prime Minister Trudeau a few days earlier....
..The RCMP need to level with Canadians as to why Goree was targeted for removal. Was it because he was black? Was it because he didn't look like a student? Was it because he couldn't have been a student because looked too old to be one? Was it because in a crowd of over 150 people he was the only one who didn't look like a student, faculty or a guest?
