According to the article the incident in question happened in 1978. It may be still happening, but this article does not make that claim. Rather it says it happened 40 years ago and there should be an investigation to its extent.
EDIT: I was wrong. In addition to the specific incident discussed and the focus on the past, there is this:
"New research shows the forced sterilization of Indigenous women is not just a shameful part of Canadian history. Reports from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and the territories suggest it is still happening."
- throwaway24006 5y agoNo, it makes the claim. 'New research shows the forced sterilization of Indigenous women is not just a shameful part of Canadian history. Reports from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and the territories suggest it is still happening.'
- bhouston 5y agoYou are correct, I've amended by comment.
- skeeter2020 5y agoBut it doesn't provide any evidence or even details related to this beyond the class action lawyers statements like "if we have 60 people in Regina then there are many more out there". I read thje entire article waiting for some form of details about numbers, dates, etc. and nothing. This is typical BS modern "reporting" and it's inexcusable when the subject is so important.
