NDP members are voting against Ottawa’s fall economic statement to protest gaps in funding for Indigenous Services in the midst of an infrastructure crisis.
The head of the Native Women’s Association of Canada says it’s clear there's an ongoing emergency nearly four years after the final report into missing and murdered Indigenous woman and girls was released.
A parliamentary committee says resource companies should be held "accountable" for the effect their projects have on the safety of Indigenous women and girls.
Less than two per cent of a $742-million fund allocated by the feds to prevent violence against Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited peoples has been spent.
An ongoing pattern of abuse and threats directed at female journalists and female journalists of colour has reached such a crescendo, it's drawing condemnation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and an NDP MP.
At the tail end of his “pilgrimage of penance” last week, Pope Francis recognized that what happened at Canada’s residential schools was genocide. It’s high time Parliament does the same, says NDP MP Leah Gazan.
A New Democrat member of Parliament said on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, she hopes all of her colleagues will recognize the residential schools system as genocide, now that Pope Francis has used the term.
