Stephen Harper's comments on missing, murdered aboriginal women show 'lack of respect

[squeezer]

n a span of a week, the Conservative government confirmed their feelings of indifference, disregard and utter lack of respect for indigenous people.

It seems that their contempt is solely aimed at First Nation men, First Nation women, and First Nation girls.

This is the very attitude that underlies the government legislation and (non) actions that have resulted in tragic consequences suffered by First Nation people for generations.

Quote Harper

'Um it, it isn’t really high on our radar, to be honest ... Our ministers will continue to dialogue with those who are concerned about this."

Harper is a hero to the aboriginal community for going after corrupt liberal chiefs like theresa spence who steal millions from their own poor people.

What good is an inquiry going to do? It's not going to solve the problem and it will cost millions of tax dollars. The natives know what the issue is, violence against women in their own communities and its up to them to deal with it.

Reminds me of the sentiment he has for sex workers too. We're an unwanted "situation" as well for the Cons. One min they are ranting about c36 & underage girls & john's buying children....but in this article you have a 16yr old girl sexually assaulted & they don't give a shit. the hypocrisy is deafening.

Wow what a surprise - the cbc is critical of Harper.

What I'd like to ask Liberals who are pushing for a national inquiry - would you respect the decision of the panel if they recommend a disbandment of all reserves?

Why theorize about that when you know the panel will not recommend that. It won't be made up of retards.
