the broad

just because some of the women you contact say they were raped or were forced to blow a cop means nothing

because these lazy red bums are to blame as much as the murderer

these women need to start leaving their cultural comfort zone and begin starting families with real men.

maybe it was a snatchsquatch?

does not sound too unusual.

sad, for sure but not out of line.

The term Aboriginal merely describes a person who is not only resident in, but native to an area. For instance, an aboriginal Australian would be one of the people there who is related to persons who were living there before European settlers arrived. The same thing can be said of aboriginal Canadians. Rather than being partly French or British in terms of ancestry , they are gene traceable back to a point before European settlement. The term also applies to the North American tribes, who can also trace thier history back to before Europeans settled the Americas.

Drop the racism bit..and do some thinking..

In the summer of 2008 Carolyn Connolly and Katelynn Sampson (pictured left), two Aboriginal women, were murdered days apart in two different neighbourhoods in Toronto. Local newspapers reported the murders, but no real action from police and government was seen, and still hasn’t been seen.

The Jane Creba tragedy is not the only tragedy that has happened in Toronto. Many women of colour go missing and are murdered without any media attention or care from society. Over 500 Aboriginal women have been murdered and have gone missing in Canada in the last twenty years and most Canadians don’t know or care about this. When a white woman is killed it’s a tragedy and the whole country mourns.

Women's status ministers declared solidarity with the hundreds of protesters who took to Parliament Hill on Tuesday to raise awareness about violence against aboriginal women. But the ministers won't set up a national action plan on the issue, despite repeated requests from women's groups over the years.

"Our missing and murdered women and girls are suffering from neglect — neglect by the Canadian government that does not recognize them,"

"Our missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls, their rights have been violated. They have not received the proper investigation and support that they deserve,"

OTTAWA — Over the past year, 62 names have been added to the list of missing and murdered aboriginal women in Canada.

A total of 582 women — up from 520 last year — are now on that list; women who were mothers, daughters, and friends...

While aboriginal women make up three per cent of the population, they represent 10 per cent of the reported homicides, almost half of which are unsolved. By contrast, the overall clearance rate for homicides in Canada is 84 per cent.

The homicide rate for aboriginal women is almost seven times greater than non-aboriginal women.

Do you think that's funny? Really? 'Snatch' - a sexually degrading word used for women?

Look, we're talking GENOCIDE here. Were talking HUNDREDS of women - missing - murdered.

A HIGHWAY of TEARS...

And you're being the cornball of the class yucking it up.

It's these kinds of jokes, and attitudes that get women killed. Like it or not.

does not sound too unusual.

As for your assumptions?

In 2009 Canada had murders in the 600's. That's all. Now, if you can do the math, figure out the percentage of those murders involving Aboriginal woman and you'll soon see that this is absolutely 'out of line'.

So, for you this doesn't sound 'unusual'. Hmm, forgive me if I'm not surprised.

peace

Yellowhead Highway


Borden Bridge divided highway bridges with old bridge showing arches in the background
The early Provincial Highway 14 in the east and Provincial Highway 5 to the west were built and driven on the square. In 1957, the Trans-Canada Highway opened, and soon after, the Yellowhead became eligible for federal funding.[58] The opening ceremonies for the Yellowhead were held in 1962, and the highway was finished in 1965.[59] Provincial highway 14 was widened in 1957. The route was straightened bypassing Plunkett and Viscount.
The 1957 road specifications were a right of way of 150′ and a road surface of 38′. The centre 22′ of this road was oiled, leaving 8′ gravel shoulders on each side.[34]
In 1968 the road was once again rebuilt...the right of way was widened to 180′ and the road. Improvements were made on this northern route, and on August 15, 1970, the Yellowhead Route was officially opened.[60]
This road was fully paved....In 1978 when #14 became part of the Yellowhead Route the number was changed to 16.[34]

They need a quiet series of sting operations here. Someone needs to prey on the predators. To reverse the vulnurabilities. It is obvious that the constabulary is ineffecient here and considerably out of their depth.

Predators dont work well when they discover that they might become the prey.

It seems some stretch of the road was widened in the late sixties, making me wonder about the road-working crews in the area. Over 800 miles is a lot of road to maintain and it isn't too much of a stretch to imagine that there would be lonely men in these crews with little to do at night.
