On February 25th, I wrote a blog on "Allegiance", a CBC show that is filmed in Surrey. Last night they aired an episode about how indigenous people have been treated now and previously. I live here and did not know this is still going on.
I don't want to spoil the story, but it was filmed at Peace Arch Hospital where a baby was apprehended by social services at the hospital. I found an article online from Manitoba where an indigenous child was apprehended illegally. Perhaps this show was based on that story.
Even though laws have changed, they aren't always followed! Horrific.
Here's an article on residential schools. I didn't realize they weren't closed until 1996, but the Federal Government wanted to close them in 1944!
