A February 2015 report by the Legal Strategy Coalition on Violence Against Indigenous Women counted 58 studies in 20 years since 1994.
This waste of taxpayer money will benefit lawyers, corrupt Aboriginal Chiefs/band councillors and the slimy white asshole snivel serpents who make their living off the "Indian industry".
... yes, these "inquiries" are just another form of legal proceedings that are very lucrative for lawyers. they amount to great gifts to the bar. it's sickening how many different avenues the government provides for funneling cash to attorneys ...
Shark hunter ands shen li both have some valid criticisms. We don't need this pricey inquiry to know what the problems are.
... is yet another inquiry being initiated?

I just read that is under way. The new government has agreed to all 94 recommendations in the truth and reconciliation commission. They lifted the previous government's spending increase cap of 2% in Aboriginal transfers. The new government seems to be buying future votes with today's tax dollars.

It sounds like a fabulous idea, but it may help people who don't need it.

This government was elected less than two months ago and I am already sick of them.

Everyone is a victim, the previous government was miserly and Trudeau is the new Santa Claus. We are the elves who make the toys.

The promises he is keeping are the ones I wished he was not and the ones he is not keeping are the ones I wish he was.
... it's almost comical how the news media keeps talking about his promise to withdraw fighter jets from syria, expecting us to believe that means anything. what about all the other ways they are waging war in the middle east?

... withdrawing only fighter jets is the same as saying they'll stop using grenades but missiles will still be deployed ...
Quote from: "the shark hunter"
I don't know anything about this the shark hunter..
But, I hope the inquiry produces good results for all the money they will spend.
... well, if they're sincere then withdrawing the fighter jets is a good start ...
... by the way, dicaprio was excellent in DJANGO UNCHAINED ...

Sadly, what could have easily prevented the murder of Aboriginal and White women in some of the more remote areas of Canada is a decent public transportation service. Many women, white and aboriginal were murdered along the Highway of Tears near Prince George. A number of them were hitchhiking because there is no viable and affordable bus service in that part of British Columbia and they were just trying to get to work or from Point A to B.
So one step toward homicide prevention would be a regular bus service in remote and dangerous highways such as these.
Women shouldn't die just because they were trying to fulfill their daily obligations and complete simple chores or tasks. In part, this is the BC Government's fault for failing to adequately fund public transportation. That alone could save a lot of lives, aboriginal or other.

Because more money is wanted as an "apology".

How many women have been killed by strangers while in transit?
Most women of any ethnicity are killed by someone they know.

The recommendations will be costly and because this federal government fudged their numbers will not be able to implement everything/

...well a shuttle along the Highway of Tears would be a big help in that region of BC, Fashionista.
If they could take a regular service instead of hitchhiking along it, could save a lot of lives there.
So far, the BC provincial government has balked at implementing this service.
They say they can't afford to spare a few million for it, but then turn around and increase funding for rich spoiled brats and their private schools which are getting over $300 million in subsidies courtesy of the taxpayer, which is increasing every year. Imagine that - 99% of the taxpayers subsidizing 1% of the population.
I'm somewhat amazed that so many in Alberta assailed former conservative premier Jim Prentice for being some rich elitist, when I thought he actually did a lot for middle income Albertans. The premier we have in BC does little to help the poor, the middle class, cuts services to protect working women along places like the Highway of Tears. If you want to live in a province where the government is creating and reinforcing a two tiered class system, then BC is your place.

Neither my husband nor myself follow politics that much, but I do regret supporting the current dictator of Alberta, Rachel Notley.
