People of all colours, creeds, ages and walks of life flooded the national capital on Saturday, June 6, 2020, to vent their anger over the police killing of George Floyd, encountering two very different, larger-than-life symbols along the way — a study in political contrasts along a fractured America's most active fault line.

Singh invoked the memories of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, whose family has raised concerns about police involvement in her death in Toronto in May, and Stewart Kevin Andrews, an Indigenous man killed by police in Winnipeg in April, to make a point about how Black and Indigenous people have suffered violence or death at the hands of Canadian police.
