the truth is already understood: the canadian government is kidnapping these women and killing them to keep the birth rate down.

nobody will say that because nobody can prove that.

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.

the place i recently moved to is bordering on this property:

i made a request to bylaw on mar 24th about baiting rats in the backyard, after finding dead rats on the 18th and 23rd. there were firefighters here on the 4th but not the 12th. i mentioned that there was an encampment and the rats were connected to the encampment.

the tenants on this property that are getting evicted (enforcement is april 14th) appear to have been dealing drugs to the encampment, and i'm not sure what role the property owner has in the supply chain at this point. i would describe the ownership situation here as 'weird'. but i'm pretty weird, myself. i have no evidence and don't want to make assumptions but i'm going to assess the issue after the 14th. i've been told there are crackheads upstairs, and they're getting evicted due to starting fires. i can see they're connected to the encampment. i expect the issue to be resolved, but i realize it won't be if the property owner is the drug dealer. i can't prove that but i am not going to stay here much longer if it isn't. 

i made several calls to the sheriff in february and march asking about enforcement and didn't get an answer until april 1st. police showed up at my door for a "wellness check" on mar 30th, for shady reasons. somebody thought i was dead. apparently.

my issue is with the drug use, and with the rats, because they're an issue. this property has a serious rat problem. they seem to be dead, but the clean-up is going to be substantive and it's going to take some effort to get it under control. the encampment was attracting rats and attracting thieves because it was attracting drug users. it's not the drug use itself, it's the lifestyle required to pay for the drugs and the fact that drug addicts tend not to cleanup their shit. leftists tend to be ignorant and stupid on this point  - yes drug users steal shit to pay for their drugs and there is no utility in denying that. denial doesn't fix it.

a hypothetical homeless camp of drug-free people that are vigilant about keeping the space clean wouldn't bother me. that's not what this was. i'm glad they're gone.

if my request to bylaw or my calls to the sheriff helped clear the situation out, great.

hopefully, the situation improves and i can finish cleaning the place up this month.
