Loblaw Companies and Blackbird Security show no respect to human rights complainant

Loblaws Companies and Blackbird Companies likes to boast about their human rights and race relations policy.  However, their public relations doesn't match what they do in practice.  


When an Ottawa black man ventured into the Rideau Centre location of Shopper Drug Mart, he was subjected to profound harassment.  Both Loblaw and Blackbird Security did nothing constructive to redress the humiliating experience.

Loblaw's official policies on human rights and race relations is quite different

At Loblaw, our purpose is to help Canadians Live Life Well®. We recognize our responsibility to respect and protect the human rights of all people who support and intersect with our business, and we do not tolerate abuse, discrimination or harassment in any form.

It is apparent that Loblaw Companies need to clear up their act.
