Canada’s Betrayal of 60s Scoop Survivors

Some died in prison while waiting for their settlement while others saw
their claims rejected on technicalities. Those who were compensated were
forced to re-live their trauma again and again.

An article from iHeart said:

The federal government has reportedly agreed to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to Indigenous survivors of the ’60s Scoop.

Sources say the agreement includes a payout of between $25,000 and $50,000 for each claimant.

The national settlement, estimated at $800 million, is to be
announced Friday by Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett.

They’re supposed to have won. They’re supposed to be getting what is owed to them. But it’s July, 2022 and even though the lawyers have been paid 75 million long ago, most of the survivors of the 60s Scoop have seen nothing – not a cent of the $750 million that was set aside to compensate them for the government’s breach of fiduciary responsibility (officially, what the lawsuit adjudicated) in having stolen them from their families when they were children. |Read more https://rover.substack.com/p/canadas-betrayal-of-60s-scoop-survivors|

Trade the Twitter blue checkmark to a red one to support AISH

It’s funny, even after being taken advantage of by governments, big business and the rich, that some people would still like to donate $8 a month, so a poor billionaire can have it. Let’s make that $8 count for something, that actually means something.

They should trade their blue checkmarks in for Red checkmarks to support AISH and then send AISH their $8 every month. Which of these people would you be?
