Opinion: Why are Canada’s health care standards so different for Indigenous people? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Residential school denialism and the death of Miranda Mamakwa, a 31-year-old mother of three, on Sept. 8, are inextricably linked. After all, erasure of Indigenous people in Canada was at the heart of the Indian Residential School system – and that erasure continues in the system’s substandard treatment of Indigenous peoples. When the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its 94 Calls to Action in 2015 following testimonies from 7,000 survivors, the report found that 3,200 children died i
Opinion: For First Nations, Trump’s lake renaming is much ado about Niiganii-gichigami (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lake Ontario is Niiganii-gichigami in the Anishinaabemowin language. Elders tell me the lake was always known as this. For First Nations people, I know that regardless of which community you are from, names have meaning. They can provide information, and signify respect. So when an American President renames a body of water on an angry whim by writing “Lake America” over “Lake Ontario” on a map with a marker, it means nothing to us – those who have lived here since before all these lines were dr
Man who threw trailer hitch at Indigenous woman, killing her, is granted full parole, First Nations group says (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A man who threw a trailer hitch at an Indigenous woman from a moving car in Thunder Bay, Ont., has been granted full parole, an organization representing dozens of northern Ontario First Nations said Tuesday, calling the decision “incomprehensible.” Nishnawbe Aski Nation said the Parole Board of Canada’s decision to approve Brayden Bushby’s release comes as “devastating news” for the family of Barbara Kentner, the woman who died months after he struck her with a heavy hitch late one night in Jan
Opinion: Canada is not working together to confront the wildfire crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This summer is shaping up to be one of the worst wildfire seasons in Canadian history – and it is only the beginning of August. Thousands have been displaced across the country. Namaygoosisagagun (Collins) and Whitewater Lake First Nations, in northern Ontario, have burned to the ground. In B.C., Okanagan Indian Band Chief Dan Wilson estimates that at least 200 homes there have been destroyed by the Bradley Creek wildfire. We have seen herculean evacuation efforts, with people fleeing fires with
Globe editorial: Ontario blows fiscal smoke on firefighting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wildfires have become a sadly predictable part of life in Ontario – and so too has the province’s failure to budget for them properly. Last year, Ontario allocated $135-million for its emergency forest firefighting fund, but had spent $271-million by the time fire season was over, a gap of $136-million. The year before that, the budgeted amount was $36-million short of actual costs. The year before that, it was $63-million short. Since 2018, when Premier Doug Ford was elected, the costs have onl
