In 2019 , Canada became the first country to declare itself guilty of committing an ongoing genocide against its own citizens.

In a new book, Tristin Hopper documents the radicalised brand of social-justice politics promoted by ex-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau .

Hopper: To outsiders, who (correctly) view Canada as a humane democracy, the tale will seem bizarre.

The National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls was dominated by veteran political activists.

The 2019 MMIWG report contained almost no evidence of any kind of crime in its 1,000 -page addendum.

The MMIWG report, by contrast, came and went as a thicket of repetitive academic jargon .

The word “systemic” appears 109 times in the main report.

The term, “ 2SLGBTQQIA ’s, appears no fewer than 1,197 times.

The year its report was published, forty-eight Indigenous women were victims of homicide in Canada .
