Missing and murdered: Inquiry challenged to repair relationship between cops, indigenous communities

It’s not quite the launch of the long-awaited national inquiry into Canada’s crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.

If you’re a First Nations, Inuit or Metis individual living in Canada you are 6.4 times more likely to be killed than anyone else in the country.

The polls hadn’t even closed across Canada when news organizations called a Liberal government – and, within an hour, a Liberal majority.
