Canada: All-White Jury Acquits White Farmer over Killing of Cree Man

HeadlineFeb 15, 2018

In Canada, an all-white jury has acquitted a white farmer for murdering a young indigenous man from the Red Pheasant First Nation in Saskatchewan, sparking protests across Canada. In August 2016, the farmer, Gerald Stanley, fatally shot the Cree man, Colten Boushie, when he and a group of friends pulled up onto Stanley’s farmland after they got a flat tire. This is a protester at a demonstration in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Protester: “If Canada and Saskatchewan are serious about reconciliation, we want more than words and tears! We want action! And we want a say in the control and destiny of our rights and for our children and for future generations!”
