Image of the film star at the centre of an ethics complaint filed by a political-science professor who took part in demonstrations during last summer’s summit
A photo of gun-toting movie star Chuck Norris displayed on a Quebec City police van during G7 summit protests last summer has prompted an ethics complaint from a university professor.
Images of the action film star are widely shared online. The Norris memes typically include absurd exaggerations about the actor’s strength and ingenuity. “Death once had a near-Chuck Norris experience,” reads one. “For me, the G7 summit is not legitimate,” Dupuis-Déri said. “It’s a meeting of the leaders of seven of the strongest countries and the most dangerous, that launch the most destructive wars. And so I think it’s legitimate to protest against these summits.”
“They were detained until the G7 was finished,” she said. “That raises questions about rights to peaceful assembly, rights to demonstrate, freedom of expression.”
