What happened in Canada was horrific.
It also happened in the USA. There is no difference. You just haven't had the reckoning yet. If you know any adult Native American, you know someone who was similarly abused.
Both of our countries have done very badly by our aboriginal populations and I wish I could say we're doing better by them now. I'm not sure that's anywhere close to true. Conditions on Reservations are not great, and in far to many cases, outright squalid, with no safe drinking water or electricity.
I'm really disappointed Trudeau hasn't done better in this regard. Yes, he finally funded the search, but it took him 6 years to start this search since the recommendation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015, and has not held any Public Enquiry on missing and murdered Indigenous Women - another national scandal which he promised to deal with in both election campaigns.
