The mayor of Montreal apologized on Wednesday for remarks made at a city council meeting that appeared to normalize the middle‑finger gesture toward police. She said the comments were poorly worded and seemed to downplay disrespect toward police.
The apology was offered during a later council session after the earlier comments drew criticism earlier in the week.
