The viral video of Canadian Amy Cooper calling the police on a Black man in Central Park is still the talk on social media today.
Cooper, who is from Ontario and went to school at the University of Waterloo, was fired from her job at Franklin Templeton after she was widely condemned for her racist behaviour.
Following our internal review of the incident in Central Park yesterday, we have made the decision to terminate the employee involved, effective immediately. We do not tolerate racism of any kind at Franklin Templeton.
More details keep getting revealed about Cooper, like where she adopted the Cocker Spaniel she's seen wrangling in the video and that she's since surrendered that dog back to the shelter.
Turns out Amy Cooper, the latest racist white lady in the news, is a Waterloo grad, so this seems as good a time as any to reiterate that it's a shitty look for white Canadians to treat anti-black racism as a uniquely American phenomenon.

Oh yes, she's also Canadian, according to her Instagram bio before it became private.
