At the checkout, Wilson says a guard with the company Blackbird Security asked to search her father’s backpack, despite other customers also having similar bags. A statement from Canadian Tire Corp. says it takes claims of racial profiling and racism very seriously. “They’ve had so many opportunities to own up to it, apologize, and they’ve missed every single one of them. And to me, that says there’s a larger problem here,” she said.
