UPDATE: MANITOBA FINALLY ONE STEP CLOSER TO SEARCHING FOR BODIES OF MISSING INDIGENOUS MURDER VICTIMS

How Slow Can the Wheels of Decency Turn?

This story started in 2022, when a killer confessed he unceremoniously threw the bodies of at least two indigenous women he had murdered into a dumpster. The police refused to look for them.

in 2023 I wrote about the problems trying to get a garbage dump, euphemistically called a landfill, searched to find the bodies. (See: https://ideasfromoutsidetheboxes.wordpress.com/2023/05/12/how-much-is-a-dead-body-worth-is-it-white-or-non-white/)

It is now 2024, and wherever the bodies of the murdered women are, they are rotting ignominiously without humane respect or dignity. No one is looking for them… Yet!

But finally a step has been taken that hopefully will find the bodies and allow them to be buried or cremated with dignity. I am not say that the election of an indigenous person as Premier of Manitoba had any effect on getting this process moving after 2 years of stalling, but it certainly helped. It was recently announced that the search will go ahead, but it is still going to take some time — we don’t know how much — because a law had to be changed, and now a particular guideline must be followed.

But at last something is happening, and something is better than nothing…

A man with a lot of strange experiences in my life. Haven't traveled that much per se, but have lived in a lot of different areas. English is the only language I have mastered, and the older I get, the more of it I lose. Seniorhood gives me more time to self-reflect, but since time seems to go much faster, it feels like I don't have as much time for living as my younger selves did. I believe in spiritual atheism and responsible anarchy. These do not have to be oxymorons. Imagination is an incredible tool. I can imagine a lot of things.
