The article points out " a disturbing level of excuse-making and willful blindness".  I agree, but on the part of whom.  

"Let’s not forget that there are three times as many Indigenous children in foster care today as there were First Nations, Inuit and Métis children in residential schools at their peak.".  This fact is stated as an accusation, but who should it be directed at?

Most of these problems could and should be solved at root causes.  With local leadership.
