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…
Good. I’m glad there is even some tiny positive steps happening.
