“The member said the noose means something different in Canada than in the United States. A few years ago, nooses were left at Toronto construction sites to scare Black people. I want the member to explain what they think a noose means in Canada.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have a question about the fact that the member just mentioned that the noose has a different definition here in Canada. I would like to know what the member thinks the noose symbolizes here in Canada that is different from the United States. Just a few years ago, in order to intimidate the Black community, nooses were found on several construction sites in Toronto. Do you think that the noose was placed there for a friendly purpose?”
