| Abstract: | As I read the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal's damning ruling that denunciated Canada for its long-standing racial discrimination against indigenous children, I couldn't help but think of the recent funerals I have attended for indigenous youth who had given up hope and committed suicide. In fact, as the ruling came down late last month, my office was trying to cut through the bureaucratic red tape of a young Cree teenager's tragic and brutal death so that the family could bury her body. She may become yet another statistic in the list of 600-plus young people who have considered or attempted suicide in the northern part of my Ontario riding since 2009. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
