Montreal police are investigating a racist video that is circulating widely on social media and is believed to have been published by two West Island high school students. The song is dubbed over the video and it begins with the introduction of the two women by name. Véronique Comtois said the Montreal police service (SPVM) was alerted about the video at 9 a.m. Monday after a 911 call. However, John Rennie High School issued a statement on its Facebook page Monday, saying the administration immediately reported the video to authorities and is co-operating with the investigation. Noel Burke, chair of the Lester B. Pearson School Board, told CBC News the video is particularly shocking given the current context of heightened anti-racism awareness.
