  • Most of them are indigenous against indigenous violence. RCMP are basically unable to investigate if they wanted to, but it's Alberta so they probably don't want to.

    Unfortunately, reserves and First Nation culture is extreamly patriarchal where abuses towards women are very common. My family originally left the reserves because of that exact reason.

  • You just linked a far right news source and expect me to take you seriously?

    There have been two alleged cases where a disabled person was "suggested" MAiD. One of the was a lie and the other was done by veterans affairs who has no authority to prescribe such a procedure.

  • Yes they do reach out.

    You fail to see the full history of RCMP and the indigenous peoples.

    Canada created the North-West Mounted Police shortly after the west was bought specifically to displace natives and force them into reserves, seperate children from families.

    The North-West Mounted Police would later become the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. So now you have this same paramilitary group that harmed you as the main Police force.

    So the natives tend to not speak with Police on matters and when they do their issues tend to be ignored, especially in the west where first nation hatred is very strong.

  • Could you explain or provide an example?

    AFAIK the malicious genocides happened in the 18th century with forced integration and relocations happening in the 19th and 20th century.

    There was the settler genocide of the Beothuk peoples from loss of access to food and foreign illness in the 19th century though. Although that wasn't trying to kill them.

    There was the culture genocides of the residential schools but again, that isn't an example of trying to kill them all off.

  • Kent Micronite filters contained blue crocidolite asbestos. Of the 6 known types of asbestos, crocudolite is the most toxic/harmful.

    One study revealed smoking a pack of Kent Micronite cigarettes every day for a year would expose a smoker to 131 million carcinogenic crocidolite fibers.

    A 1989 study of 33 people who worked in the Hollingsworth & Vose filter factory in 1953 found 28 of them died from asbestos-related diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.
