people outside of canada may not understand that indigenous women in this country have had a tendency to disappear for decades, and it's long been understood - but never been clearly proven - that there is some government body killing them in an intentional act of genocide. there was a government-funded inquiry, but it was little more than a cover-up.

i'm not sure why she connected the two acronyms together. they are not directly related concerns. in fact, the general understanding is that the women are being targeted to prevent them from breeding, so connecting it to the queer community would be missing the point.

but if there's an opportunity to raise awareness about the longstanding very serious genocidal concern of missing and murdered indigenous women in canada, it should be taken. this isn't something historical. this is ongoing. our government is never going to come clean on this without outside pressure.
