“The Sixties Scoop: Canada’s Stolen Generation—and the Racism That Still Lives On”

[Papageorgio]

In the 1960s, thousands of Indigenous children in Canada were forcibly taken from their families in what’s now known as the Sixties Scoop—adopted out to white families, stripped of their language, culture, and identity.

They weren’t lost.

They were stolen.

And the effects of that injustice still echo today.

This wasn’t just history—it’s systemic racism that continues.

Canada prides itself on diversity and reconciliation, but the reality is many Indigenous communities still face:

• Boil water advisories
• Over-policing and incarceration
• High rates of poverty and suicide
• Land theft and environmental neglect

If this happened to your family—your children—would a settlement and apology ever be enough?

Justice isn’t just words. It’s truth, accountability, and lasting change.

I bet the damn Quebeckers had something to do with it.....Anything bad in Hoserland usually has a French name attached.

Disturbing on so many levels and the liberals Canadians are still the same when it comes to indigenous people, then they come on here and hypocritically lecture Americana.

Don't be fooled, Trump done it and not those self righteous white socialists like Trudy who are all soooo much better than Trump.

Not to worry, they will soon have all the children on hormone blockers and cross dressing in no time.

And if for some reason a few children get passed the goalie and wind up pregnant, the state will be there to provide "free" abortions for all!!
