I'm watching a French-Canadian movie, "The Fall/American Empire".

I'm watching it right now, but I paused the playback to ask y'all a question. It's a French-language film that's apparently set in Quebec city. There's a scene where two plainclothes cops investigating a holdup are at the door of a residence in what is apparently a black neighborhood. A forty-ish black woman answers the door and the two identify themselves as cops. She says, "Cops aren't allowed in this area."

My question for y'all is: Is this how they handle the problem of police violence against racial minorities in Canada? They just forbid police from entering those neighborhoods? Or is there something about this scene that I'm not aware of that people who are well acquainted with Canada will understand?

I've never been in Canada myself. Pardon me if I'm showing my ignorance. The scene I'm referring to is 26 minutes in.

I'm getting back to the movie now...

1. I was wrong about Quebec city, it's Montreal.
