Tasha Beeds, of nêhiyaw, Scottish-Métis, and Bajan ancestry, said Sudbury police detained her under the provincial Mental Health Act and forced her to return to the Health Sciences North hospital, the lawsuit against the hospital and the police alleged.
Beeds lectures at the University of Saskatchewan and University of Windsor. She is also the inaugural Indigenous scholar at the Anako Indigenous Research Institute at Carleton University. The hospital said in an emailed statement that it could not specifically comment "on this matter," but it takes "complaints related to discrimination very seriously."In its statement of defence, Health Sciences North said a nurse "tended" to Beeds while she was on the floor, but she "began swearing at the nurse and taking issue with the length of time it took to see her." The document alleged that Beeds left the hospital against the advice of the nurse.
In September 2020, Joyce Echaquan, an Atikamekw woman, filmed health-care staff hurling racist remarks as she lay dying on a hospital bed in Joliette, Que. A Quebec coroner found that systemic racism played a role in her death. An assistant professor at the time with the University of Sudbury, Beeds feared she caught COVID-19 at a recent conference she had attended with about 2,000 people.While waiting in the wheelchair she called for a nurse to help, because she needed to lie down. "The nurse ignored [Beeds]," the lawsuit said.
A security guard then came by and told her she had to leave, because she was "causing a scene," the lawsuit alleged.
She’s lying.
Was sick twice while passing through Sudbury. First time filled the intake forms employed as a Software Dev from Vancouver. They gave me morphine. Second time I didn't feel like filling the same forms again and left Vocation as unemployed. They gave me aspirin. Same infection.

Why is it that when people of colour claim discrimination it is immediately accepted by many as fact?
She should have identified as a 2 spirit queer tranny, then she could could have sued for 10 times as much. If you're gonna play the race card, may as well really go to town on the other pc hot buttons.
What’s the other side of the story? Sensationalize everything CBC! No credibility to anything!Report both sides or you are useless!
She never said she wasn't drunk
did they release blood results? did she have covid? was there high alcohol or other substances? why is it assumed discrimination? if she's sick/disoriented/dizzy did laughing happen and if so was it about her? any witnesses from ER ?
Guaranteed there is more to this story
So sick of this reality.Sick from it.
oh good morning FakeNewsCBC. Again some horse💩💩story for breakfast!
I’m a Christian illiterate
“collapsed on the floor and lost control of her bodily functions”. If it looks like it’s drunk and acts like it’s drunk, it’s probably drunk.
Not at all acceptable.
Public unions are making people racist. They need to end.
Hey JorgeBarrera – why the quotation marks around “systemic racism”?
The is no University of Sudbury
Is this a legal requirement or a convenient excuse? 'Sudbury police it could not provide comment, because the MATTER WAS BEFORE THE COURTS '
🤡 “alleges” 🤡
