Attawapiskat: Haiti at 40 Below Zero
New media made us look. Now let's put fixing this 'state of emergency' into context.
Or you could look at $17 billion as roughly the cost of running Correctional Service Canada (CSC) for five years. CSC in 2012-13 plans to spend $3.178 billion. Much of that will be spent on First Nations inmates; they make up 17 per cent of the prison population though First Nations are just 2.7 per cent of the Canadian population. In effect, our prisons are just another First Nations housing program, and a very expensive one.

I always think back to how hard we have worked to destroy the aboriginal way of life. If we had not worked so hard to destroy their culture, maybe they would have found it easier to participate in the present world as they would have had their identity and esteem.
