Winnipeg Mayor Breaks Down While Responding To Most Racist City Label

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 22 Jan, 2015 12:21 PM

    Winnipeg's mayor tearfully promised to fight racism after the city was branded Canada's most racist by a national magazine.

    Brian Bowman stood surrounded by dozens of aboriginal and community leaders and admitted the city has a problem with racism.

    The city's first Métis mayor broke down in tears as he said he wants his boys to be proud of their heritage.

    He says there is no doubt racism exists in Winnipeg and he is determined to do something about it.

    Former national chief Ovide Mercredi says he has experienced racism, but has not let that define him.

    Macleans magazine published a cover story Thursday labelling Winnipeg Canada's most racist city.
