A new article from the Law Times revealed that by far the largest spending on legal battles by the Canadian government is taking place in what most people still know as “Indian Affairs”.

It reminded me of how the Crown turned its back on our People.
Senator Patrick Brazeau, 38, who is being investigated by the RCMP over allegations of breach of trust over his housing and expense claims, and faces additional legal troubles including assault and sexual assault, is now making allegations that his “political downfall” with the Prime Minister’s Office started a year ago when he began to question the government as to why it hadn’t called a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, according to CBC News.
This comment made by suspended Senator Brazeau has been unsettling to certain members of the First Nations community, especially those who have been fighting for the rights of Indigenous women and who have been advocating for a National Inquiry for years.
