Kanika Samuels-Wortley, assistant professor and criminologist at Carleton University and Wendy Gillis, Toronto Star’s crime reporter, are in conversation with Adrian Cheung, about the events leading to—and following—Korchinski-Paquet’s death, how systemic racism and anti-Black violence continues to play a huge role in Canada’s policing. The sounds, videos and pictures of the mass protests against police violence and anti-Black violence in the United States has the world paying attention. Thousands have taken to the streets, in the wake of George Floyd’s killing by a Minneapolis officer. It’s an event that has added to a long history and repeated instances of police interactions and racialized people, that have disproportionately ended in violence and death. In Toronto, 29-year-old Regis Korchinski-Paquet fell to her death after a police call to her apartment last week. The exact events of what led up to her death remain unclear, and now subject to an investigation by Ontario’s police watchdog. Her death has since spurred demonstrations of thousands of people in Toronto, as family and community leaders call for justice—protests that are not apart from the reckoning in the United States but, rather, part of it.
