The truth about missing aboriginal woman.

[Donald G]

Upon reading the complete report posted by Glacier it becomes very clear that, given the various definitions of "aboriginal woman" it is not possible to accurately determine "The truth about missing aboriginal women" as compared to non aboriginal women.

As pointed out in the well researched and written article different police forces and even the CPIC rules themselves have resulted in a wide variation in who should be considered aboriginal and who should be considered non aboriginal.

I suspect that any number of Metis, especially in parts of Manitoba, have been identified as Aboriginal while in other locations only status Natives have been identified as aboriginal. Given that there are far more non status than status "mixed blood aboriginals" in many parts of Canada, using Stats Canada information to try to determine the information would not, in all probability, give accurate information.

Given the high solve rate for murder in most of the provinces that aspect of the information would appear accurate. There is little difference between the solve rate for aboriginal and non aboriginal murders and the conditions that lead to murders in either "camp" are very similar.

So how should an aboriginal woman be defined ??

Not sure how long you've lived but, try and tell someone of a given ethnic group how to deal with THEIR issues.... just won't work. Therefore, what is the purpose of having a expensive enquiry to conclude what is known?

simple, there are many gaps in the services provided to support this Population, failures in the courts, lack of response from Police Services..

In an interview, and in a 115-page statement given to the RCMP, Galliford said top Mounties had "enough evidence for a search warrant" of serial killer Robert Pickton's farm in 1999. From 1999 to 2002, 14 women were brutally murdered by Pickton, a fact that haunts Galliford.

She says she will testify that both RCMP and Vancouver Police Department officers, even after the Missing Women Task Force was formed in 2001, engaged in sexual liaisons and harassment, watched porn and left work early "to go drinking and partying."

There is a reduced sense of Value of human life in marginalized populations. The system is failing this population, it needs to explored and resolutions uncovered.

To MadHue ...

All of the questions were dealt with during the seven MILLION dollar inquiry that was held into the matter. Unfortunately the inquiry did not in any way deal with the actual CAUSES of the prostitutes (native and non native) being at the Pig Farm. The Castanet string was a little more informative as to the causes and conditions that led up to the deaths.

Cpl Galliford was discredited due to her own sexual misconduct which included sex with her recruiter to get accepted.

One thing that was never published was the outcome of her personal lawsuit against the RCMP.

[Madhue]

Anyone else notice that instead of stating the RCMP did an exemplary job in dealing with marginalized and vulnerable persons, instead offered a fist full of excuses, rationales and an attempt to speak to the Character of a Mountie speaking out, one who has made allegations of harassment against the RCMP, which in turn prompted other Female Mounties to come forward with allegations of harassment. Nice touch.


Its pretty clear that RCMP and other Police forces are failing in this arena, no other then pandering excuses and blaming the victims you have anything to offer that might suggest they've done their due diligence?

To Madhue ...

According to the findings of the seven million dollar inquiry your last comment mixes a little bit of truth with a whole lot of fiction regarding the police willingness and ability to deal with missing women, including aboriginal women.

The police solve rate for murder is very similar for both aboriginal and non aboriginal victims. A fact that does not at all support the far fetched extremist allegation that the police do not care about Native women being murdered.

Nor do you address the fact that the statistics from Stats Canada can not be relied upon as to which murders actually involved Native women due to confusion as to what constitutes a Native woman for record purposes.

Hey kids here's why Donny G couldn't state why the Police did an outstanding job... They didn't!

"I have found that the missing and murdered women were forsaken twice: once by society at large and again by the police," Oppal wrote.

"What we're here to discuss is a tragedy of epic proportions.

"The women didn't go missing. They aren't just absent, they didn't just go away. They were taken, taken from their families, taken from their friends, taken from their communities.…We know they were murdered.

Think the headline says it all... Donny I know you are a fanboy of the RCMP but seriously even the top cops are not defending these accusations instead they are fixing the flaws in their systems. Feel free to embrace fiction.... But we only grow from the facts.

Isn't Truth and Recreation Day coming up soon?
Where will Justin be celebrating it this year?

[monilynno]

Here's the facts 86% of murdered aboriginal woman were killed by another aboriginal persons. Will Trudeau take back his lie that there's a "Genocide" being committed in Canada?

[Glacier]

Using Trudeau's logic, this is actually a genocide because white people did bad things to Native people, which caused them to kill their own people. So white people are still to blame.
