Indigenous father and daughter file human rights complaint against Canadian Tire and Blackbird Security for alleged racial profiling and racism in Coquitlam.
An Indigenous father and daughter, Richard and Dawn Wilson, have filed a human rights complaint against Canadian Tire and Blackbird Security, alleging racial profiling and racism during a 2020 incident in Coquitlam, British Columbia. Richard Wilson was singled out for a backpack search while other customers were not, and a store mechanic reportedly made a racist comment when Dawn raised concerns. The Wilsons seek an apology, improved training, and financial compensation. Canadian Tire claims to take such allegations seriously and is cooperating with the tribunal.
