-- "Ottawa and First Nations are presenting the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal with competing plans to reform the First Nations child welfare system today — the latest step in a lengthy fight that has stretched nearly 20 years. Progress on a child welfare agreement to reform the system stalled in 2024 when First Nations TWICE REJECTED A $47.8-BILLION DEAL they said did not go far enough to protect kids." --
NOTA BENE...
-- "One in 10 aboriginal children now lands in foster care, compared to one in 200 for non-aboriginal children, the AFN said. There are currently three times as many children in foster care as there were in residential schools." --
Oh... it gets better...
"The rate of deaths from injuries is 3 to 4 times higher for Aboriginal children than for other children in Canada."
