Hey Phil, Canadian here. First Nations Canadian, actually. My heritage roots are that of the Algonkin. My father, with his five siblings and both parents grew up on a Reserve in north eastern Quebec. My father left home at age 13 because he no longer could stand the living conditions sanctioned by the Catholic Church and Federal Government at that time. He shared very little of his childhood with us because he claimed there was nothing good worth sharing. Miss you Dad... From the bottom of my heart I just want to thank you and your team for covering these recent horrific discoveries with your audience, as it has rocked the country that I so fiercely love to the depths of its core.

that's how mental illness works in this country. As soon as you need any kind of help or register any sort of notion of mental illness, your rights are gone. Anyone can accuse you of anything. Any family member can force you into subservience "for your own good". And even mental health "professionals" will seek to exploit you for profit. HUGE profit. It's one of the main reasons that better help service is a scam. It's not designed to get you help. It's designed to create targeted pharmaceutical leads and they sell curated access to their servers to Government Agencies. This means you are registering as a mentally deficient human and as such WILL be targeted. Our society is predatory. Fact.

"In one case, campfires at a multi-day rave on private property attended by around 50 people got out of control, growing to 1.7 hectares. Provincial staff from the Clearwater and Kamloops fire zones attended the scene, and the unnamed owner of the property and party organizer was ordered in 2017 to pay $12,463 to cover firefighting costs." "For his role in the blaze, Parke was eventually handed a penalty of $921,958. The government’s itemized claim against Parke included $299,448 for wages and overtime, and $237,733 for helicopters. The smallest amount, $616, was to cover the repair and replacement of equipment. A mandatory overhead fee of 20 per cent of expenses was included in the total."

Opposite for the wealthy of course, you won't see Telus officials ever go to jail even if they intentionally ignored something resulting in a fire.

Hi! Canadian here... And yes I am white...

Now in my 30's and all these recent discoveries I have started to educate myself more and more and talked to people both white and indigenous and looked online for things I can find and the one thing I have noticed from my side... the side of those only just choosing to educate themselves now.... It was because they were called schools and not what they really were. It was equal to reprogramming camps the church put out for the LGBT+. They were reprogramming these indigenous kids to be European and 'accepted'.... It was NOT a school....

Clear examples of Indigenous people (especially women) being targeted by violent crimes and by our police agencies isn't new. Recognizing what is needed to repair the damage done to Indigenous people and communities isn't new. These mass graves are just harder to ignore and people have finally snapped to attention and started to act. But the juries out on if these actions will be meaningful or sustained.
