Indigenous leaders say the country has yet to fully reckon with its troubled colonial past — or put a stop to a decades-long practice that is considered a type of genocide.

TORONTO (AP) — Decades after many other rich countries stopped forcibly sterilizing Indigenous women, numerous activists, doctors, politicians and at least five class-action lawsuits say the practice has not ended in Canada.

    What the heck?! How is this still happening in Canada. I would’ve thought most of the docs here would’ve been run out of town on a rail for doing something like this.

    Agree with the sanctions comment. Make it hurt for our gov to tolerate this bullshit.

        If there were 12000 bank robberies or murders which were all related, I doubt we would still have the same string of illegal activity happening.

        Making something is Criminal, illegal or condemned won’t stop it, there needs to actually consequences that occur. There a bunch of people that need some severe repercussions if we expect this stop.
