For Shame, Canada!
Such mendacious hypocrisy could not go
unrevealed forever, Canada. Now the world
is aware that mild-mannered Canada despite
its vaunted reputation for fair inclusivity and
punctilious recognition of human rights
offering equality of opportunity to all is an
outright sham. Canadians, it has been revealed
through an internal study struck by the federal
government to research the damning issue
of missing and murdered Indigenous women
and girls is a racist, degenerate society whose
crimes against Indigenous women and girls
amounts to genocide. For the fact is that
vulnerable demographic has been the target
of violence and lethal attacks far in excess
of their non-Indigenous counterparts. Leading
inevitably to the accusation that their lives
of privation and desperation reflect the result
of a country whose institutions fail the needs
of this group abysmally. Mind, it is rather
a complicating factor that Indigenous men
are implicated in the commission of said
violence and murder. But the responsibility
is clear; Canada has failed in its obvious duty
to save these women from the deadly blows
of their tribal men. Men who are themselves
the murderous victims of their own tribe
far in excess of the lives taken of Indigenous
women and girls. Yes, this is a conundrum
of the reality of massively troublesome
dysfunction of a frail culture yet nevertheless
the culprit is genocidal Canada, a hair shirt
its non-Indigenous must henceforth wear.
