This article disturbs me.

The obvious murdered indigenous woman of course.

But the most disturbing part? Her daughter is left without a mother and the best Ft. MacMurray can do is $2000 in donations to support her.

Ft. Mac is one of the wealthiest jurisdictions in North America.

And donations to help provide for a five year old child who will never see her mother again are $2000.

That’s disgusting! I’m flabbergasted. And repulsed.

What did that little girl do to deserve to be ignored?

Nothing but be indigenous. Nothing but be the daughter of a murdered mother.

Where are the deep pockets that funded the truck convoy? Empty I guess.

Yes there are tensions between indigenous communities and fossil fuel interests. But this is a little child.

She is not the enemy. She’s barely beyond toddlerhood. Her mother murdered for whatever reason. Left to poverty, obscurity and rejected grief.

And Canadians still wonder why indigenous people have such mistrust and resentment.

How many millions were raised for fools to demonstrate their folly? But one child in dire need is completely ignored.

Take a bow Ft. Mac and Fossil Fuel industry. You’ve done yourself proud. (Sarcasm!)

Thanks for telling us all who you really are.
