Video provided to me, Indigenous Insider, by a source who requested anonymity. This is the Second Sons, white nationalist group in Kamloops, BC earlier today where they gathered near the former Kamloops Indian residential school at Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc Nation. This comes three days before Canada’s National Day of Truth & Reconciliation.

Masked white nationalists gathered on Tkʼemlúps te Secwépemc land and mocked families seeking answers about children who never came home. We will not debate survivors’ testimony with those who ridicule it. We stand with the Nation and call for a full investigation. Our statement:

Where is the outrage? The media frenzy? The podcasts by men denouncing this daily violence committed by their peers? #femicide Murders involving women accused receive disproportionate media attention and public scrutiny—and are often weaponized to further control women's lives.

The decision to grant full parole to Brayden Bushby has sparked outrage within the Indigenous community, but little with mainstream Canada. Niigaan Sinclair says it would be different if Bushby’s victim was non-Indigenous. Watch more on Truth & Politics: youtu.be/NFd-xVz-bww

26% women & girls killed had previously contacted Police about violence–an average of 3 times. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Femicide is preventable. Systems can intervene early. When will women matter enough? New Canadian #Femicide data: www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/dail…
