If the G&M is reporting a watered down version of a UN report dealing with racism in Canada that describes African-Canadian racism as being so ingrained that it's considered 'normal',  why are Canadian athletes showing unity with the U.S. while ignoring the plight of the same group of people in their own country?

This article offers nothing new that the other 10 or 20 articles on the topic have highlighted. What would be newsworthy is not more of the same but given the conclusions of the UN's observations, why aren't Canadian athletes doing something similar to getting on one knee in their own country?  Why would they ignore the racism in their own country but support American athletes and blacks.
