Reminder that Canada is fucking evil

Canada continuing genocide against Indigenous Peoples, international tribunal finds | CBC News

An international tribunal has ruled that the Government of Canada’s current policies constitute an ongoing genocide against Indigenous Peopl

[tiredlazyfrog]

This week, May 4-8, is national week of action for MMIW. Here’s a few facts:

1: Homicide is roughly the third leading cause of death among Indigenous women ages 10-24.

2: 56.1% of indigenous women have experienced sexual violence, 55.5% have experienced physical violence by an intimate partner, and 48.8% have experienced stalking.

3: The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that there were 10,248 missing Indigenous persons reports in 2024. 5,614 were women, and 4,626 were men. Most women (girls) reported missing were under the age of 18.

4: The 10 states with the highest rates of American Indian/Alaska Native missing persons cases in 2025 were AK, AZ, OK, WA, NM, CA, MT, NC, SD, and TX.

5: Because of limited data, there is no reliable nationwide count of how many Native women go missing or are murdered each year.

And finally:

Indigenous women are murdered at 10x the national average in the United States alone.

U.S citizens: I hate taxes but I love national parks!

Me: So here's the thing about national parks. Most of them are on Indigenous tribal land. That's what this entire place was like before colonization.

Land back could be as simple as allowing people that care deeply about nature to protect it and help the earth mother

instead of the U.S government and their agencies allowing a "zone of death" for us to go missing or be murdered and poisoning the environment.

I've& been meaning to raise awareness of this but two Mi'kmaq children, six year old Lily & four year old Jack Sullivan, have been missing in rural northeastern Nova Scotia & this is the fourth day. They were reported missing around 10 a.m. Friday. They were last seen on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne Station. They have yet to be found. Their mother Malehya Brooks-Murray & stepfather, Daniel Martell, have told local media "they were sleeping with their 16-month-old baby on Friday morning as the older children played in the house. But when they awoke later in the morning, the two children were gone." The RCMP believe the pair, members of the Mi’kmaq First Nation community of Sipekne’katik, wandered off from their home and probably entered a heavily forested area. Now, to me&, as a survivor myself&, this is VERY suspicious.

Please keep your eyes out for them. This is yet another case of MMEIP/MMEIWG2S+. This is going on constantly, all the time. Please share this around. These are literal tiny indigenous children.
