Every one of Pickton's victims had addiction issues and entered high risk situations.  They were NOT all native or aboriginal, but they all were 40 times more likely to be victims because of their lifestyle. Wouldn't funds and resources be better spent on prevention? If those ladies had more support and safe places to go. Fentenyl will be the number one reason many more are in danger.  Not all the highway of tears victims were aborigional or FN, but they were all alone and hitchhiking.
In more remote areas, is this something that needs an independent aboriginal police force? Job opportunities and a self determination law and order from designated band members may be far more effective than being under control of another govt group. Relying on others to resolve things defeats independence.
