"First, I want to offer my condolences to the family. Second, what happened is totally unacceptable," Quebec's premier, François Legault, said during a press briefing Tuesday.
"The lack of human compassion and dignity shown to this mother, daughter, friend, must not be tolerated in our society," Canadian Senator Leo Housakos tweeted Wednesday."One year after the release of the Viens Commission Report, Joyce Echaquan, a young Atikamekv woman died while facing incredibly racist and insensitive taunts by Quebec health care staff," he
"Discrimination against First Nations people remains prevalent in the health care system and this needs to stop."
💔💔💔💔💔
People can be So Mean!! Not to mention How Totally Unprofessional!!
Don’t care what you say, that nurse or nurses should get COVID! How disgusting are they! 🤢🦠🤢🦠🤢🦠🤡🤡🤡🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
Thats Canada people not America. Lets remember that.
This is unacceptable...always.
I get that this poor gal was treated horribly but what exactly was said that was racist? Didn’t see it in the article unless I’m blind. People often discriminate for all kinds of reasons, I have sadly witnessed over weight patients treated like crap on numerous occasions.
Wtf?!!!
Negligent homicide. They let this woman die . There should be charges filed. JoyceEchaquan
Canadians do this too. eh ?
filmed?
Gross... Should've fired anyone who knew that she did it and said nothing until the video surfaced as well. Hope that nurse got her license revoked.
How non Canadian like can you be
What was actually wrong with her? The article didn't say. Those poor babies lost their mom. Why?
It is Quebec, the Kentucky of Canada.
Canadians !! Being mean !!
She died because of the nurse. A homicide case must be registered.
but... Canada is supposed to be nice...
Why are Indigenous people in all the English-speaking countries on the verge of extinction under democracy?
😭

Lies! Racism only happens in the evil United States.
Unbelievably sad..
This message is for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
filmed?
Just when I thought I was moving to Canada to claim political asylum from the U.S. Next country?
Must be Trump's fault. Have you asked if he has completely and unequivocally denounced this? Then ask again tomorrow too. Then have each of your reporters ask. Then keep asking.
Canadians are detestable in every way.
WTH?!
WTF is wrong with people🤬💔🤦🏾♀️
Filmed?
It seems that all the assholes in Canada all live in Quebec. What, did they get exiled there in their youth for un-Canadian behavior?
I hope these pieces of excrement think of what they did to Joyce Echaquan as she laid dying... -Rest in peace Joyce Echaquan.
Some Canadians are being sucked in by Trump - Mr Racist rhetoric. RacistInChief
Those darn Canadians
How horrible.
There are no limits to what some people are capable of. Heartbreaking.
What is the world coming to?
Canadians are very racist toward Native Americans. This is not news.
Quebecois hate everyone, except French speaking locals.
These folks are beyond sad human beings, and should have NO PLACE in society where they’re responsible for other human beings.
1Knight72 If she hadn't recorded it, no one would have believed her, and this would continue. I've always advocated for body cam straps while medical staff are on shift, just as do the police. Due to lack of supervision and transparency, you are allowing such incidents to transpire.
filmed?
1Knight72 'Discrimination against First Nations people remains prevalent in the health care system and this needs to stop.' any discrimination needs to stop, its everywhere you got the 'majority' in place, the majority could be anyone. In the Netherlands expats are usually the targets.
