After having spent the last week discussing human rights I thought this article might be an interesting read. We talked a lot of how other countries are not abiding the Declaration of Human Rights, but we never really dug in and looked at what are own country is doing. Although Canada may be much much better off when it comes to human rights then other countries we still seem to ignore the issue we have in our own country.
In the article, http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/un-raybould-indigenous-treatment-1.4659893,It talks about the United Nations councillor confronting Canada about their mistreatment of Indigenous people, especially the women and children. Although we have leaders admitting the human rights issues in our country surrounding First Nations we are still seeing water boil advisories and missing and murdered Indigenous women.
Canada made the Declaration of Human Rights law in Canada in 1982. The last residential school in Canada closed in 1998. So my question for you is how come human rights for the Indigenous people of Canada have been and still are behind the years?
