They've hit new heights of ridiculous

"Genocide"?  Really?!  The 'Concise Oxford Dictionary' defines it as, "the extermination of a race.'  So, apparently that is what "we" are doing to Indigenous women and girls:  Trying to kill them all.  But since the commission only focussed on women, what about native men?  If "we" are trying to kill all natives, we would have to include males too.

They get away with calling it "genocide" because they can.  Fifty millions of dollars later and that's what they have concluded.  How incompetent can one be?  Marion Bullard, commission head, should hang her head in shame.  What is conveniently left out of the 231 recommendations in the report are the RCMP stats, which show that the majority of these women are killed by their own people -- not others.  And by the way, the stats are about the same for non-native women.  Oh, but let's forget about that inconvenient truth. 

As an ex-journalist, I do not understand why today's scribes do not write about this?  If you're going to write a story, include all the facts -- not just what Ms. Bullard wants you to publish.  Seriously.  Once again, the problem is the reserve system, from which these women want to escape because they are so remote and there's nothing to do.  They drift to the cities, fall in with other natives and low-life and are killed, thanks to their dangerous lifestyle.  The unfortunate Tina Fontaine is a case in point.  She was out in the public thoroughfare in the middle of the night, exposing herself to street danger and was killed.  Heck, my mother and father would never have allowed me to run in the streets like that because I might have been, guess what, killed!  And to top it all off, Ms. Fontaine's parents were living in the same city while it all happened to their daughter.  Way to go Mum and Dad!
