Document Summary

Week before there will be a review session. Record of canadians in regards to the way they treat their natives is terrible. Characterised by poor, dilapidated buildings (cold, leaky, no ventilation), overcrowding, very terrible sanitation. Much higher incidents of infant mortality and lower life expectancy, much higher rate of suicide. Housing, nutrition, general health, employment, income, natives remain at the bottom (way below national average) When women/black people told us they were discriminated against we took action: equal pay, etc. we implemented things to equalize differences. Experiment where white males in society who were asked if they were visited by a government agent and were told that they were supposed to be born black, and the government wants to make it right. Statistics canada collects all the data on our society: nuclear family is in the decline, 2/5 households in canada don"t speak english/french at home.
