Rights group releases scathing report on Canada’s violations of Indigenous rights
A prominent human-rights group says Canada is failing to address long-standing abuses, delivering a rebuke of what it calls the federal government’s inadequate climate policy and violations of the rights of Indigenous people and immigration detainees.
The report censures the government for its G20-leading public financing of fossil-fuel projects and inadequate measures to support First Nations in adapting to the impacts of climate change. The federal government says 137 long-term drinking water advisories have been lifted since November 2015, with initiatives underway to address the remaining ones.
As a top-10 global greenhouse gas emitter and one of the highest per capita emitters in the world, Canada is “contributing to the climate crisis, and taking a growing toll on human rights around the globe,” the report adds.
