Discrimination: Law Enforcement and Identity Checks

discrimination: This year's theme was racial profiling and incitement to hatred, including in the context of migration, according to CTV. Racial discrimination has not been eliminated and we are all called to confront and to address this issue individually and collectively, said senior pastor Rhonda Britton. The service is held every year at the Cornwallis Street Baptist Church on United Nation's International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The UN describes racial and ethnic profiling as a reliance by law enforcement, security and border control personnel on race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin as a basis for subjecting persons to detailed searches, identity checks and investigations. Statistics released in January show black people are disproportionately singled out by police for street checks. It's a concern for many living in Halifax. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
