102 Indigenous children died in Ontario’s child welfare system because of underfunding and an indefensible inequality of services.

Last month APTN reported that 102 Indigenous children died in Ontario’s child welfare system. It’s a tragic and infuriating look at how the system fails Indigenous children and puts their lives at risk.

Cindy Blackstock joins to talk about that story and about taking the government to court on behalf of the rights of Indigenous children.
