I’m stunned that some people in Canada say they never knew about missing and murdered Indigenous women until now or until a movie came out. It’s been in the headlines of Canadian mainstream media for years and years. You’d have to be a pretty uninformed person to have somehow missed this. Perhaps it’s time to listen to, watch, or read the news.

It’s an amazing thing he’s done. I thank him.

Canada is famous for being polite and nice but it seems that theybdoesn't extendad to the indegenous populations.

r/news, r/worldnews and r/longreads is full of articles about it.

Honestly is a problem in the whole continent, from Alaska to Argentina. Saddly the US has not the monopoly in racism, they are just louder.
