1. While I respect the persons who were involved in this ruling deeply, I wholly disagree with them that this was not rooted in racism.
When you call out a racist action, but deny the source is racism, you will never resolve the core issue.

2. There are reasons that restrict tribunals power in making decisions:
- Evidence they’re able to consider
- Perceived reliability of witnesses

5. I don’t blame @CPSA_CA or the tribunal for this. They are trapped in processes that consume and erase Black, Indigenous and other racialized lived experience.
