TORONTO (AP) — Decades after many other rich countries stopped forcibly sterilizing Indigenous women, numerous activists, doctors, politicians and at least five class-action lawsuits say the practice has not ended in Canada.

    I grew up being told about how progressive and awesome Canada is. As I reached adulthood I realized what a crock of shit that was. This country is a disgrace, it doesn’t care about its people. I’m an adult now and I wonder where the hell is the greatness of Canada? Cause all I see is a government they doesn’t give a shit about its citizens and only worries about the citizens of other countries.

    What the heck?! How is this still happening in Canada. I would’ve thought most of the docs here would’ve been run out of town on a rail for doing something like this.

    Agree with the sanctions comment. Make it hurt for our gov to tolerate this bullshit.

        If there were 12000 bank robberies or murders which were all related, I doubt we would still have the same string of illegal activity happening.

        Making something is Criminal, illegal or condemned won’t stop it, there needs to actually consequences that occur. There a bunch of people that need some severe repercussions if we expect this stop.

    So to be consistent with the solar bans due to the Uyghur genocide we should sanction all energy products from Canada now, right?

      We don’t have to be consistent about anything and facts can stand on their own. It isn’t like if I didn’t do the correct thing at one point in my life that I can never ever do the correct thing ever again.

      Bad stuff is happening in Canada. Bad stuff is happening in many places. Independent facts.
