The article doesn't say anything about _why_ and _who_ made the order to sterilize the indigenous.
It looks tempting to believe that there's a motivation to make this particular indigenous race vanish.
Who wants that? And why?
- teunispeters 8y agoHistorically it was Canadian policy. You'd probably have to look to the 1930s (start of forced sterilization) or the 1880s (start of policy of suppression of indigenous peoples) to find out where, when, why and how. And as to why it's never stopped? How long have Indigenous people in Canada been protected by human rights? And how long between setting that policy and people getting used to the idea? (2008-2013 through various steps, and probably 2-3 generations at least, if people stop teaching the racism as "correct") I live in Saskatoon, in a predominantly First Nations area. People here are not treated well by just about anyone.
- blumomo 8y agoI've always thought of Canada as a very tolerant country. That hostility is surprising to me. When you say that people in Saskatoon are not treated well by just about anyone, how do you experience that over there?
