Andrew Coyne: Problems behind aboriginal murders won’t be solved with a public inquiry Uh, thanks, Captain Fucking Obvious. Like we needed you to tell us that. A public inquiry is important, though. It's a needed ceremony. The world runs and operates on symbols and ceremonies. We First Nations understand this. We live and breath ceremony. The idea behind a public inquiry is for Canada to say, "We care." So long as Steven Harper and Andrew "Fucking Tool" Coyne are both ignoring and downplaying the need for a public inquiry, the longer Canada is showing there is no care from Canada for First Nations. It's a good first step, and Canada won't even take it.

First Nations, cities say B.C. has known how to fix Highway of Tears for years The Canadian Press, James Keller Anton insists the highway is safe, pointing transportation options including a health shuttle for medical patients and Greyhound bus service, which was dramatically cut last year. I've been through the north of BC. It's remote. There are little towns throughout the north, but there's a great amount of space. Anything could happen. What Anton is insisting is beyond insufficient. It's also insulting. It's the words of a woman who lacks in empathy for the victims and the victims' families. May she be shamed for her callous disregard for the lost and murdered.

CBC There is much to discuss. What is needed is a culture change, to make these woman who've disappeared important to the government. First Nations are not important to the Canadian government, which is why there is silence from there. Please praise the RCMP for releasing this.
