I disagree with your comment about the police 'not pursuing investigations'.    The FN people complain loud &  long about how the police don't do as a complete investigation because it is an aboriginal victim/perpetrator.   Facts are that many times the police are met with silence, lack of co-operation or outright stone-walling by the community.  Even one of the people telling their story to this commission stated that her relative was murdered by someone on the reserve but no one would speak up.  WHAT are the police supposed to do?  Bring back the rack or maybe water boarding?  Everyone agrees that violence against the FN women (or any one for that matter) is unacceptable and 'something needs to be done'.  WHAT is that something??  How about starting in the FN communities??  The money being spent on this giant pity party would be much better used on education and community involvement on the reserves.
