'It isn't really high on our radar, to be honest'? Seriously?! Over 1,000 women murdered and it isn't considered a high priority? This issue is an outright scandal. Thank you so much for publicising this.

[@jonturner8516]

Stephen Harper is a disgrace. What a flippant comment concerning these missing women. It's nauseating listening to this individual dismiss these women as a mere afterthought. His track record speaks for itself, with these allegations proven: Since he became leader of the country’s Conservatives, the party has been fined for breaking electoral rules, and various members of Team Harper have been caught misleading parliament, gagging civil servants, subverting parliamentary committees, gagging scientists, harassing the supreme court, gagging diplomats, lying to the public, concealing evidence of potential crime, spying on opponents, bullying and smearing. Harper personally has earned himself the rare rebuke of being found to be in contempt of his parliament. A biographer of Harper's called John Ibbitson, concluded that “No prime minister in history and no political party have been loathed as intensely as Stephen Harper and the Conservative party.” My heart goes out to the missing women, but even more so to those left behind who are having to deal with not knowing what happened to their loved one's. 🙏

As an Indigenous woman, I really want to thank you for covering this. This was a surprise to me as most true crime channels rarely cover cases of MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women). It's always nice to see more exposure of incidents such as this because we know it's not nearly as talked about as it should be.

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

It breaks my heart that evil targets indigenous women to murder. Their vulnerability is sickening. It is far past time to assign equal concern for the indigenous peoples and not only provide them the means to thrive not just survive. Survival is as basic a right as there is. Any innocent human is entitled to be treated far better. It is shameful how horribly your people have been and are being treated. Please know my heart goes out to the families of all of these beautiful souls lost.

Have a wonderful weekend. 😊💖💗💞.. its so sad to hear how alot of fosters treat kids, and indigenous children are often treated badly anyway by prejudice people. I have 1st hand experience with this because my grandchildren, 7 of them are half white and half Navajo, and have been looked at weirdly when they're with me, and treated bad by other children. It pisses me off, because theyre kids, and we never treat people differently because of the color of their skin, or someone with a disability, we teach them that evone is special.

[@mbr0916]

*Sending you and your grandchildren all the love!* _They are uniquely their own and I pray the world seems them as such._ _Coming from two different cultures is such a blessing that needs to be acknowledged and loved._ 💗 Kids can be *so* brutal to each other and it physically aches my heart to hear such things. Unfortunately kids that bully other kids due to their DNA typically learn to think so judgementally by their parents or some sort of guardian.

[@LiveFreeOrDie2A]

Ya.. like she knew she was about to run off and leave her son with her brother. Triggered by the recent break up with her long time partner and father of her son. She became depressed, disillusioned, and wanted to disappear. 99.9% of the time I can’t stand how it’s always assumed a missing person “ran off” when they obviously didn’t, but this case really does point to that. Her brother, who knows her better than most others, and had the most recent interactions with her before her disappearance- made multiple comments about her comments to him that clearly struck him as odd and notable.. his gut was telling him (accurately) she was about to not come back.. why? Because she was in the process of choosing not to.. ie running off

[@jorobs4935]

It's so important to draw attention to these cases. The way native people, especially women, suffer without any apparent alarm or interest from the police is horrifying. These women matter. They have people who love them. They deserve the same commitment of police time and resources any other person would receive.

[@annaburgos7521]

They don't bother, most girls are taking from there native parents and given to non white Foster care providers and adopted to white families only. It's complicated but a certain political party gets a percentage of all native children adopted to white Foster care. Bush tried to stop it but when he found out that the RNC Were getting a percentage he didn't stop it. This is true. That's when I said I'll never vote for them. MITUKÀYPI OYÀSIN OYÀTE.

[@LotsofLisa]

What’s also disgusting and totally unacceptable is that yet another husband and father gets to just walk out on his family into the sunset and do whatever he wants, while everyone suffers. Before they just shuffled them all off to foster homes, they should’ve looked for their father and drop them off with him first! This whole tragedy started because the father walked out!

[@reneecaballero9624]

​@@LotsofLisa Sounds like the mother was an alcoholic and she's also to blame. But, governments need to do more to make sure that foster care children are in a safe place, because a lot of them end up in worse situations than they were with their parents. I can't believe that no one on either side of the biological parents would step up and offer a home for these children. At least they would've been with family, even if they couldn't all go to the same home. I don't understand how family members can see and know about these situations and not step forward for the children..

I am ashamed of my country’s history with indigenous peoples. You mentioned the highway of tears and the residential school system. It really is just the beginning of a shameful past that includes the 60s scoop (removing children from homes and adopting them out to white families with no access to their family or culture),forced sterilization, broken treaties and terrible access to basic necessities like clean water and safe housing. It’s horrible. I try to use my privilege as a white Canadian woman to make sure people know about these things. New Canadians especially are led to believe that Canada is this great place without racism. We are multicultural in major centres but indigenous communities don’t have the same experience. We can’t pretend we have an enlightened country until genuine and lasting changes are made to make amends and reconcile.

How tragically sad that so many Native American women like Macky go missing without a trace & are never found! How does this happen so often to so many indigenous women? Is it incompetence & a racist lack of real effort by the police? Is it that horrible stretch of road & the many evil people who drive it? Is it lack of public transport options that mean too many people need to hitch-hike in order to get around & have a social life? Or is it that despicable criminals target this particular racial group of women because they know they have less chance of being caught due to police & media inaction & seeming lack of priority towards investigating or reporting these women's disappearances? Or is a disgraceful combination of all of the above? Whatever is going on, it is unacceptable that more efforts are not made on behalf of these innocent women by those in authority, in order to find them & bring them home to their grieving families!!

My gosh!! SO many viewers.and commenters from BC!! I think KZbin creators are able to see the breakdown in demographics of their viewers, so Ms.Truly (Scrumptious!) probably knows she has a lot of fans there but it's so nice to see the gratitude. 👍 thanks from 🇬🇧 too!x

[@brucej.willson4764]

May I ask whats the name if the ambient background music you use jn this particularl video? I notice it in a few ither od your videos, also.

[@cheyennes7681]

It's not just Canadian indigenous women that go missing at an alarming rate. I know they do in the USA too. It's honestly sickening!

[@cusny01]

The number of missing women in this area is worrying 😱

[@marcop8875]

It makes me SO mad when I hear of foster parents who abuse the children on their care and I know of so many people who are so caring and are not allowed for whatever bullshit non logical formality reason to adopt children and are literally playing with Reborn dolls to satisfy their parental needs this is an absolute upside down world

[@JustJezBeingJez]

Speaking of Highways of Tears Australia has a giant stretch of road called the Stuart Highway. It's notorious for people just disappearing to the point it's safest to travel in convoy along it if you're visiting.

[@bdsaints1986]

Love your channel! Its always something new not the same 10 stories beaten to death

[@written2382]

It seems the person involved with the disappearance of these women is trusted and most likely within the indigenous community. This unfortunately means the suspect is being protected.

[@_HimToo]

Yeah, cuz it's probably many different native men who the victims knew!

[@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826]

That's why they don't get solved.

[@ashleyswihart4138]

Perfect time just for my break at work 🥳

[@tessiethompson7303]

Im an indigenous woman from the u.s. Its very shameful for the canadian governenent can get away with forcing native children from there homes and taken to residential institutions. Now they are still an embarassment to law enforcement for nit solving all the murders and disappearances of indidegenous women. The same for our country. I have a cousin that was murdered and no answers. Its just a no win situation for our sisters.😢

[@TSC-hr7ir]

That You for Sharing this Video of one of the many many Missing indigenous Women

[@selenared123]

Wow I have never heard of the Highway of tears, it’s crazy that so many go missing that they now have a sign up! SMH So sad that’s so many are overlooked!

[@crystalphillips696]

This is horrible all those women murdered for no reason. They should be home with their families. Bless all the souls lost and their families with strength to endure these horrible tragedies. Please let them find who is doing this.

[@h3684]

Very silly of her hitchhiking on a highway which is well known for missing women …. The fact she was also drinking would have made her so vulnerable. So sad….but why would she pick up a lift or even risk taking a lift from a highway with such horrid history ?! So frustrating. The Canadian authorities or government seriously need to do something in regards to this highway. Placing cctv in every entry and exit points possible ? The technology is there along with the reasoning behind it. I find it disgusting that they v chosen to ignore this ?!?!

[@reneecaballero9624]

Who knows, it may be someone in the local government or several of them doing it, and that's why CCTV has never been installed and why the cases are basically ignored and both done. Most of the time when law enforcement make pathetic excuses, and don't do anything it's because they're involved somehow or they've been threatened by those who are doing it.

[@jimmyjohns7866]

Unsolved disappearances always give you that sick uneasy feeling, you know the poor girl if never found probably fell victim to traffickers. Hope one day she is able to come back. Sad story

[@deathbycheese850]

I doubt she was trafficked. More likely murdered. The remote location leaves plenty of space to hide a body.

[@_HimToo]

If never found you know she probably fell victim to traffickers??? No, that's on some conspiracy theorist bs. If she's never found you know she was ironwork murdered the night of the party! Much more realistic & probable

[@jimmyjohns7866]

@@_HimToo there's no way you called human sex trafficking a "conspiracy theorists" lol.. wow. There's literally thousands women missing and never found from all over b.c and Canada

[@missborderline]

Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@haleyguthrie3113]

Thank you for covering this issue for our indigenous Women. No more stolen sisters

[@lesflynn4455]

This sad story is presented with great sensitivity and respect to the victi7m and their family. This is not often the case with true crime on KZbin. I hate to be pessimistic, but the RCMP have had way more than their fair share of catastrophic failures when investigating cases of missing women, enabling serial killers to laugh at their incompetence and carry on with their activities with seeming impunity. . On the other hand, they have been catching dozens of international drug shipments. It's easier to catch a boat or air cargo full of gear. Priorities also play a huge factor. yeah? A long time missing indigenous woman has little appeal to the Murdoch press compared to a 200kg shipment of Colombian marching powder.

[@imalittleeggroll]

TC video = HAPPY Saturday!!! ☺️

[@johnf4279]

I'm on the side of Immaculate Basil. No justice that I can see.

[@johnf4279]

It's crazy stuff that needs more exposure in my humble experience. It's just awful to know about. My sympathy lies always with Immaculate Basil. Always. I don't apologise for that. Ever.

[@Scipio_Americanus]

You're such a hero john. Lol

[@ernestTbass23]

Thank you for bringing light to this problem.

[@elisabetamicske5717]

Such a sad case! 😪

[@kwakester]

People who come from broken families, have drug and/or alcohol problems and make dangerous choices regarding their own safety will always be the primary targets for the world's predators. Always has been, always will be. The people who care most about their own safety will have the least chance of falling victim and the opposite is also true.

[@emusaurus]

Parents were cruel naming her immaculate. Geez

[@pickledragonrebel]

As a cdn I'm so ashamed of the actions of law enforcement and govt alike. This needs to change. My heart aches for these women and their families

[@thedustiev1]

What a lady, all she did after all she had gone through, helping other foster kids. Have seen so many cases no related to this Highway of Tears, very sad.
