    1. There’s more to the gorge Floyd story he did not want to get in the back of the police cruiser there is a video on that just came out you’ll probably be seeing it in the very near future. If I was that officer I don’t know what I would have done either now that I know the full truth about the situation with mr. George Floyd……

  1. Never in my life have I seen racism towards indigenous worse than in Orillia and its just the tip of the iceberg.

  2. Nothing is going to be enough for First Nations. There is already special treatment fo First Nation that was pass by the supreme court of Canada. That has to be followed when sentencing FN.
    You would know that Evan if you were a real reporter

  3. In Canada they protest for something that happened in the states. Most deaths in police custody are aboriginal. Where is the outrage and protests for something happening in your own country. Hypocrites!

  4. *Muh Systemic Racism!* If you say it enough, it has to be true. Perhaps those complaining should light their neighborhoods on fire!

  5. Mr. Bellgrarde , how did you get where you are. Education is available to all first nation peoples with government assistance. You can only help those who want to help themselves!

  6. the “Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP” are just as criminal as the police. Why is it they always side with cops and believe their false information??
