It feels easy to not think about indigenous issues as a city-dweller, but the highway of tears, mass graves, erasing of culture and language, taking away lands and building pipelines on them, being the most targetted for stop-and-frisk policies, and the picture painted to the rest of Canadians of rampant substance abuse and gambling that is associated with reservations... Canada has to take a long hard, very uncomfortable look in the mirror.
