Also on Thursday, a Quebec nationalist group distributed anti-immigration stickers around the city of Sherbrooke, 150 kilometres east of Montreal. The group, which describes itself as a federation of old-stock Quebecers, had been passing around the stickers for the past few days. Weil said police need to act with force and determination against those whom she said were spreading hate speech. Remi Tremblay, spokesman for the anti-immigration group handing out the stickers in Quebec cities, said the concept of systemic racism is a myth. “And if they occur, we will conduct investigations and make arrests.”Weil says the public consultations on systemic racism will be led by the province’s human rights commission and will begin in September.
