Well it is quite a thing to be living in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A couple of bodies, (more for sure) Native Women are buried in the city's landfill, the garbage dump. A serial killer Jeremy Skibicki has been butchering Indian Women and using the big metal garbage bins to trash the Women. So it is known there are least three dead Women in the landfill and perhaps more. Skibicki killed three Indian Women, where two have been identified but the third is not identified. It is sad but Indigenous Women are murdered and go missing in Canada (and the United States) regularly. The police knew the Women were trashed in the land fill, the garbage dump but didn't reveal it, until they had charged Skibicki. It is understandable they didn't want to mess up the case against him, I guess. Skibicki is one of those Nazi-loving, Women-hating, Racist monsters.
Jeremy Skibicki - Indigenous Women Killer |
I noticed being labeled a racist has no real meaning any more. If you are labeled misogynist, or being anti-semitic, or homophobic, then it might have some consequence of damnation. Racism is almost accepted in North America as part of society. So knowing you are a racist, you carry it like a gold trophy and it seems to be rewarded. Winnipeg once carried the Racism torch as being the most racist city in Canada. A label they earned with ease, but Thunder Bay came in heavy to take the crown. Thunder Bay saw Winnipeg being glorified in the Maclean's magazine article and said "hold my beer." Thunder Bay went on to stomp the Indigenous people and have taken over the banner of being the most racist. A difficult task because of all the competition from White Supremacy provinces, like Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Maritimes where anti-Indigenous sentiment soars like a white dove. The anti-Black sentiment is also high in Canada, but Quebec and Ontario carry top-dog ribbon when it comes to hate on Blacks.
Manitoba was asked to search the landfill, the garbage dump for the Indigenous Women's bodies. Canada, Manitoba and the City of Winnipeg choked on their perogies and cabbage rolls before saying "ah it's too expensive." What did the daughters, sisters, moms of the Indigenous people do, when they heard the news of "too fucking expensive?' They raised their voices, moved their feet over to the landfill roads so they could be seen. What did the average Winnipegger do? They (media included) spat garbage on the Women through social media. One White man of Winnipeg, took it a bit further, he literally loaded the back of his truck with mud and took it to dump on a MMIW image at the dump. The MMIW image was painted on the road, where Kyle Klochko went to dump his garbage on the mural. Kyle screamed at the folks at the land fill road. He mocked them about their Women being dead. It seems people don't like that kind of thing, so people went to visit Kyle at his house. Police came to look after Kyle. The media news crews came and did stories on Kyle being victimized. Winnipeggers got teeth gashing mad at the people who went to Kyles, calling them angry Mobs. The news did an positive interview with Kyle ensuring he was to martyred for his heroic stance against those "Merciless Indian Savages."
The Premier of Manitoba has no compassion for the Indigenous people. Recent polls suggest majority of Winnipeggers do not want to spend cash on searching the land fills for the Women. I guess Indigenous Women don't matter. It is quite funny, while there is a push for people to do search landfills for metals. There is an increasing call for land fill searching because of the "precious metals" found in amongst the garbage and the filth. Land fill searching is actually called treasure hunting. Looking for Indigenous remains is of no value to main stream society. It is really weird what they (society) consider value in looking in the dumps? A white man was uncharacteristically dumped in an Ontario land fill. Something you really don't hear about. Guess what happened? That is right, they took searching the dump just like they were searching for hidden treasures. It is of no coincidence that individual was a man and was white. Ah yes there is the treasure. They could use the treasure hunting for metals and do search for remains at the same time, maybe that would gain public interest.
Do you understand why people are so upset about the whole not searching for the Women and why Kyle touched a nerve or two? There is a crisis in Canada, and the United States. Indigenous Women are being taken, being killed and no one cares. Only the Indigenous people care about the Women being taken and in cases slaughtered. There were voices, many voices speaking of this phenomenon, Missing Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). The act by Kyle was not only insulting, disrespectful, and hateful but it was really hurtful. We are speaking about lives of Women. Women who are sisters, daughters, moms, aunties, and cousins to all of us Indians. Kyle is the symbol of Canada and how it feels about the Indigenous people. Kyle brought it out in full display, with the knowledge he would be carried around on the shoulders of his peers and his fellow Canadians. He had no worry of condemnation, his group would rally for him. Kyle not only shit on the three missing Indigenous Women at the Winnipeg garbage dump, he dumped shit on every single Indigenous person in Canada. He showed the world what Canada thinks about Indian Women. The resounding "no" by the governments and the main stream population only signifies the deep loathing against the Indigenous people. Kyle's actions and his visceral hatred was full on display and it resonated in everyone. For the main stream population it was "yeah, speak from your heart Kyle," and to the Indigenous folk, it is "their hate has poisoned their hearts, they don't see us as people."
So you know what I say, Fuck you Kyle, Fuck you Manitoba Premier, Fuck you Winnipeg Mayor, and fuck you too, Canada and may Jeremy Skibicki be given the stick and never sleep.
