Racism not unique or more prevalent in Saskatchewan: Premier Brad Wall
REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall says some of the racism that has come to light since the shooting death of a 22-year-old Cree man is a national problem.
Wall says racism is not unique to Saskatchewan, nor is it somehow more prevalent in the province as some have suggested.
Racial tension has been high since Colten Boushie was killed Aug. 10 after the vehicle he was in drove onto a farm near Biggar west of Saskatoon.
The property-owner, 54-year-old Gerald Stanley, is charged with second-degree murder and is free on bail.
