Lawyer says B.C. Mountie should be fired immediately or quit over group-chat remarks

The RCMP seeks dismissal or resignation of three Coquitlam constables after racist, sexist, and homophobic comments were posted, with all suspended on pay, authorities said.

  • A lawyer for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police says a constable accused of making racist and sexist group chat comments should be fired immediately or resign within 14 days.
  • Constable Ian Solven admitted to denigrating colleagues and vulnerable people in his comments, which included describing a naked woman at a homeless shelter as 'his entertainment'.
  • While Solven said he regrets his actions and will never repeat them, the lawyer argued that allowing him to return would be 'tone deaf' given the national attention the case has received.
