Premier François Legault’s statement on racism and George Floyd

Quebec Premier François Legault just released a statement on Twitter about racism and George Floyd, the unarmed Black man who was murdered by Minneapolis police on Monday.

“The death of George Floyd is a tragedy of nameless sadness. It reminds us that racism is an evil that still exists. All humans are equal regardless of their skin colour. Let us continue the fight to stop racism.”

La mort de George Floyd est une tragédie d'une tristesse sans nom. Ça nous rappelle que le racisme est un mal qui existe encore. Tous les humains sont égaux peu importe la couleur de leur peau. Continuons le combat pour enrayer le racisme.
