The Hill Times
Canada’s history cannot be separated from the colonialism, forced assimilation, and genocide of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. For more than 150 years, Canada chose to keep First Nations, Inuit, and Métis in poverty and without basic rights. Indigenous lands and power were stolen. Indigenous waterways were poisoned. First Nations were forced onto reserves. First Nations, Inuit, and Métis children were forced into residential schools.
It means tuberculosis continuing to kill Inuit every year. It means 27 long-term boil-water advisories, communities without access to nurses or dentists, and multiple suicide completions by Inuit. This is the damage caused by the Liberal government which refuses to invest more. In 2021, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s mandate letter to Minister of Indigenous Services Canada Patty Hajdu included a pledge to eliminate the infrastructure gap by 2030. The Liberals have failed to meet this pledge.
