Same old, same old

Failing grade.

Taking children into care in this province has only resulted in many dying of drug overdoses.  The minister of child and family services, Searle Turton, should hang his head in shame.  So should the minister of Indigenous relations, Rick Wilson, because of the 47 deaths from overdoses in care, 35 were Indigenous youth.

Sad, sad story.

Children are taken into care because of neglect, abuse, malnutrition or drug-addicted parents.  But at least they are alive at the time they are apprehended.  Taking them into "care" means many end up just plain dead.

Cindy Blackstock, head of the child and family "caring" society, should resign.  She claims child welfare is her primary concern.  Really?!  I don't buy it.  Her organization gets millions and you can bet her salary is at least six figures while so many native children suffer in squalour and distress.  (But that's another issue.  Where does the $30 billion a year given to native leaders go?)

Doesn't she look cute.

It's unconscionable that such highly-paid ministers and community "leaders" are not doing their jobs.  Shame, shame.
