    After the march ended some of the protesters gathered near police headquarters where officers used tear gas to disperse them, Radio Canada reported. Last Sunday's protest also ended in clashes in the evening. Image Credit: Reuters

    "There's a lot of racial profiling, ask anyone of color and they will tell you the same thing. It's unbelievable - and it has to change," he said. Image Credit: Reuters

    "Over the past weeks, we've seen a large number of Canadians suddenly awaken to the fact that the discrimination that is a lived reality for far too many of our fellow citizens is something that needs to end," Trudeau said earlier that day during his daily briefing. Image Credit: AFP
