I was informed today that social workers in BC have forced Indigenous children under the age of 10 to have IUDs inserted by doctors.

Within the last decade. Then they failed to ensure these children have follow up care.

#Canada is committing genocide against Indigenous nations.
In what reality does a social worker believe the appropriate response to a nine year old in foster care who is at risk of STATUTORY RAPE is NOT TO PROTECT THEM, but to force that child to be subjected to an IUD insertion?

#Canada. Indigenous children. 21st Century.

HORRIFIC.
If this has happened to you, please consider reporting it to the Representative for Children and Youth in BC.
#Canada has a moral and legal duty to submit to an independent international court for its crimes of #genocide and Constitutionally enshrined #apartheid.

Canada must do this to ensure that #CrimesAgainstHumanity perpetrated by its officials and citizens are tried and punished.
For those who haven't heard that #Canada's Constitution establishes #apartheid, a very quick primer:

Also, for all the people demanding "sources", I get that people are skeptical.

First, read the National Inquiry into #MMIWG Final Report. An independent commission empowered by #Canada's federal government.

It shows the depravity of #Canada's #genocide.

Second, anyone who has survived foster care horrors is afraid.

Survivors face the probability of their children being kidnapped into foster care as retribution for speaking out.

This is why I won't name anyone without consent. I will try to find safe ways to help them speak.

RE: Indigenous foster kids force to get IUDs

Beware this colonizer "reasoning". They are trying to deflect responsibility for Canada's crimes back on Indigenous people.

The National Inquiry into #MMIWG Final Report made it clear that #Canada is responsible...
#Canada has created generational dysfunction through its Constitutional #apartheid and systems of #genocide and other #CrimesAgainstHumanity.

Canada kidnaps Indigenous kids into foster care and then fails to protect them from sexual assault. IUDs for kids is not a solution...
On top of that, this person pushes the debunked narrative that sexual assault is predominantly Indigenous-on-Indigenous violence in Indigenous communities, therefore blame Indigenous people.

This is a racist colonizer lie...

Between this tweet and the one above it in that thread, the verdict is:

"It's the voters and policy, not Canada!"

No, it's Canada. The Charter and human rights laws cannot ameliorate tyranny of the majority without some fiction of Canada as a legally responsible person...
If we fail to hold #Canada accountable for crimes it commits b/c "voters", then we allow #Canada (or other states) to have supremacy over, or immunity from, the obligations of a legal person.

A mistake b/c then no one is accountable, and tyranny of the majority thrives...
No one is accountable b/c blaming voters is an empty judgement.

We can't force all voters to stop #Canada's #apartheid & #genocide. That's undemocratic.

But Canada and its leaders can be prosecuted. That's justice.

Plus it deters future leaders from committing these crimes...

It is abusive to teach children to find "positive experiences" in #apartheid, #genocide, and other #CrimesAgainstHumanity.

Thanks to Lynda @steeletalk for inviting me to share. Thanks also to her listeners.

A few extra thoughts that exceed the limits of a live radio program...
Abbotsford School District deserves minor kudos for quickly bringing an investigation.

However, most of us want a plan to prevent this happening again.

I hope @AbbotsfordSD is prepared to rise to the occasion.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of actions they need to take...
.@AbbotsfordSD needs to acknowledge that this conduct is harmful to kids, particularly #BIPOC kids.

ASD needs to communicate that they:
1⃣ understand the risk & harm to all the kids;
2⃣ will take steps to undo the damage done; and
3⃣ will prevent this from happening again...

Recently @rjjago quoted the Green Party leader in an OpEd:

“The government is prepared to spend far more on pipelines than on climate action. It is as though we really believe in reconciliation for Indigenous people but first we need to build a few more residential schools.”⤵️
⤴️@ElizabethMay's comment implies a root problem of her party: Indigenous nations are props to the Green Party, to be used when convenient, to the point of making completely disproportionate, unrelated, and clumsy comparisons between genocide & climate crisis.⤵️
⤴️Climate crisis is very bad, but genocide is immoral violence aimed at a people with the intention to destroy them.

Genocide has not ceased in Canada (foster care, MMIWG, police oppression, and many other evils).

The immorality of these two problems should not be confused. ⤵️
