I lived in T'Bay while attending university. Trust me when I say it is one of the most racist cities I've ever lived in (I've lived in cities and small towns from Ontario to BC).
For a time I volunteer with with a service dedicated to helping street people and sometimes drove people to appointments, etc where I saw how medical staff treated unhoused and poor people ... esp First Nations and Inuit.
I also saw how the community and police services treated the multiple deaths of First Nations people. Cops did lazy investigations, rarely if ever charging anyone.
