when this finally gets out..
i've never heard anybody openly state what everybody who has looked into this is well aware of is happening: there has been a systemic, and probably ongoing, attempt by the rcmp, particularly in the western provinces, to eliminate indigenous women of child-bearing age. this is the reason that these girls keep disappearing, and the reality is that everybody knows it.
it is a part of the country's ongoing genocide against the indigenous peoples of the continent.
....but nobody will say it. i think it's partly out of fear of being branded a nut, and partly out of fear of opening a can of worms that everybody seems to think is necessary to open very slowly. others may be concerned about their own safety.
but, fuck it. this isn't going anywhere. government after government drags it on, because - well, it's going to take a government of singular character to really deal with this, let alone end it.
i'll stand up and say it: the inquiry has to be independent, because the government is deeply complicit.
