Globe/wire say Cdn Tire apologizes to indigenous man

2017-07-31 07:48 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that Canadian Tire has apologized after an indigenous man was physically removed from one of its Regina stores when he was accused of stealing. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that Kamao Cappo says he was in the outlet on Wednesday buying a chainsaw, an extra chain and oil. While checking out, he realized he had the wrong model and took the goods to customer service where he put the chain and oil inside the saw box for ease of handling by the clerk. While looking for the right model, Mr. Cappo says a store worker accused him of trying to shoplift and ordered him out -- a confrontation Mr. Cappo captured on his cellphone. Mr. Cappo says he was not stealing. He says he was discriminated against because he is indigenous. He says he was pushed against shelves and ejected from the store after he refused to leave. The video shows Mr. Cappo and the employee exchanging words before the two jostle and the worker accuses the other man of shoving him. Mr. Cappo later says, "You have no right to kick me out," to which the worker replies, "Sure I do. You just told me you were planning on taking something from the store."
