Quebec’s health-care system is once again facing allegations of systemic racism after an Indigenous woman came forward with her story alleging mistreatment. It happened in the same health authority in which Joyce Echaquan died in September.

The nurses allegedly referred to an Indigenous patient as “Joyce” in reference to Joyce Echaquan — an Atikamekw woman who filmed herself being mocked by health-care workers as she lay dying in a Joliette, Que., hospital in September. That video was shared around the world.

The nurses allegedly made the comments last week in the same city, located about 60 kilometres northeast of Montreal. The health authority had initially suspended the two employees, and late Tuesday it said they had been fired.

There was no recording this time but as Mike Armstrong reports, management appears to have had no problem proving it was true.
