About the same number of Indigenous children are permanently in poverty across Canada and no one ever thinks about doing anything about it.
About 1.8 million indigenous people in Canada and the statistic is that about 3/4 or more of that population is under the age of 30 and most of them are younger than that.
I’m full blooded Ojibway/Cree and it’s always been a joke to me for Canada to say it’s a first world country when a million of it’s people live in third world conditions.
Learning about that sort of stuff made me realize that Canada is effectively an apartheid state.
Learning about actual apartheid made me realize that people who don’t get it want to equate everything to it, without realizing it cheapens the actual trauma of people who suffered under actual apartheid.
Maybe you should read up on what First Nations have suffered in Canada then. You can start by learning about ethnic cleansing that Canada practised with residential schools for starters.
