Black Montreal family removed from Air Canada flight alleges racial profiling

A Black Montreal family says they were victims of racial profiling when they were removed from a Florida-bound flight after telling staff their bags hadn't been loaded on the plane.

Members of the Wright family are calling for accountability today as they describe the situation July 28 at Montréal-Trudeau International Airport.

Keith Wright says that after his daughter informed a flight attendant the family's bags were still on the tarmac, the plane returned to the gate and the pair were asked to disembark and not told why. 

Wright says seven other members of the family — ranging in age from five to 60 — were also removed from the plane bound for Orlando, despite them having no interaction with staff.
