I lost a cousin over 12 years ago, vanished into thin air. Nobody cared. Especially the RCMP. Much like all these guys. A few posters and a lazy facebook post was all my beloved cousin ever got.\n\nMy favourite part of the article is this:\n\n> National statistics reflect a severe and often overlooked reality regarding violence against Indigenous men:\n\n> Between 1980 and 2012, Statistics Canada documented 1,750 Indigenous male homicide victims, compared to 745 Indigenous female homicide victims.\n\n> In this timeframe, 71% of all murdered and missing Indigenous people were men and boys.\n\n> According to 2020 Statistics Canada data, Indigenous men are seven times more likely to die by homicide than non-Indigenous people, and four times more likely than Indigenous women.\n\nWe hear so much about missing indigenous women. I had no idea the stat for men was 4 times higher. Why doesn’t anyone care?\n\nThere is almost certainly an active serial killer operating on the mid island for years now, and I hear random people saying this more and more. Sadly we are on our own over here it seems.",
