Oh give it a rest, it’s a cold case, stop accusing police of not caring about Indigenous people. I am Indigenous, and it is such a false narrative. Like there are no Caucasian people missing for decades or Caucasian families missing or murdered that are COLD cases!

They are mostly killed by other natives, not by Whites are you are insinuating.

While I agree indigenous ppl seem to get unfairly forgotten by police in these cases, I believe the narration here was misguiding, it seems to me police genuinely had trouble setting the record straight from the stories told by family members, including the one who actually told police they had been found and were fine. That detail alone to me seems massive and warranting of an investigation, if a family member indeed said that then that person must have been somewhat involved in a cover up yet the narrator here glossed over like it was just police making stuff up, did they make it up or did the family member lie? That's a pivotal question, not an anecdote to just move on from.

I guess the risk seemed less significant than the reward in that moment. Absolutely tragic

they probably thought that it seemed to good to be true and that it was all just way to convinient but given their situation they decided to take the risk just to support their family. Is truly horrible

Hard to imagine what the motivation would be for the killer. These people didn't have any money, and having to dispose of an entire family (and win a violent encounter with the husband) seems like a steep entry price for just a SA on the wife (if that was the motivation), and we don't know if Ronnie had even mentioned his family at all at the point that the two began discussing work at the logging camp (leaving open the possibility that the killer was primarily interested in Ronnie). The two advantages this course of action seemed to have was getting one/some/all of these people to _willingly_ travel to a destination in the middle of nowhere (where nobody would be around to see or hear whatever happened next), and also to eliminate the only other person who could point investigators in the right direction. The kids seemed to just be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I'm not any kind of expert on this case (or an expert at all, for that matter)

So disgusting. Lord knows the long list of systemic abuse that still occurs today. No doubt if it were revealed these atrocities would ignite protests, revolts, perhaps revolution.@@eeeeeeeeeerrr

I have to agree. I had to sign up for a special social justice class just to learn about indigenous groups in Canada and the injustices that they faced. (Deplorable that it wasn't in history classes to begin with) It was a class run by a teacher who made it her passion to teach topics that weren't regularly taught. The school board hung it over her head that if students didn't sign up-- she couldn't teach it. I'm forever grateful that we had members of different groups come in and share their experiences and open up about the terrible things they were forced to go through, like the residential schools. It's not something we should ever forget.

The thing is it's the same everywhere. I'd turn myself in to whoever did this for a accurate sociopath test used countrywide, if your profession includes authority that means you passed. I assume it won't be quick for me, nobody needs to know about my sacrifice either.. besides me and my new housemate whose above me on the ground floor loading a syringe with muscle relaxer, he won't take me for a spin without it.

In both of the high schools I attended it was mandatory to take an indigenous focused art class and English class which focused on art and literature created by indigenous people. In one of the indigenous studies English classes I took, at the second school I went to, we had to do research on historical events focusing on the injustices and the oppression of indigenous peoples here in Canada. (I live in Ontario btw). I did mine on the Oka Crisis, but a girl in my class did one on the highway of tears. It was the second time I had heard of it but the first time I had really learned about it and became familiar. That was a project that stuck with me, because as we all presented our research and applied the context of Indigenous culture and the generational trauma caused by residential schools, I could tell we all gained an emotional connection and understanding of the topics we chose and learned about. It became even more personal to me then. As a young, white Canadian, I am genuinely glad to see Canada's horrific history truthfully being taught in school today, for I probably would have remained sheltered from it just as past generations have. I think being upfront about the validity of Canada's brutal treatment towards indigenous peoples, allows people to truly see the problem and understand, in a clearer sense, the next steps to reconciliation. Obviously there is a loooonggg way to go, but it feels like we're in a step in the right direction. More than we ever have been. The way the information was presented in this video helps people from in and outside of Canada become aware of its history as well, which is something I admired.

Canadian and I agree as well. It wasn’t until university I had an inkling of what absolute horrors happened to the indigenous people of Canada *and* what effects it continues to have on them and their communities. I also guessed as soon as I heard the family member’s names that the case was not given the attention it deserves from the police and media.

I live in the US and it's mostly the same here. in school we'd talk about this for a day or two, maybe a week, then just keep going to talk much more extensively about some random white dude. It's infuriating

I'm generally not a fan of systematic racism arguments, but this one is indisputable. Either the leadership of the RCMP is rotten or there is legit institutional racism going on here. Its fucking pathetic our taxes go towards such a backwards organization.

I live in Canada, Born, and raised. I'm now in my 60's, and believe me when I say this is just the tip of the iceberg. The RCMP in every province are the worst you will come across. They have ruined so many lives in Canada who they say they serve. They don't serve anyone except their interests. I suggest that if you do live in Canada or wishing to visit Canada, take this advice, do not trust any RCMP officer you come across. Never trust them.

All he had to do was babysit for two weeks. For his brother going through financial struggles. Refusing was foolish, and his choice

@@EntertainMeTVI don’t think it’s fair to assume his brother had it any easier. Perhaps their family was also struggling and they couldn’t afford to care for additional kids for those two weeks. The family probably has enough guilt on their conscience already without others blaming them for the actions of a monster and the complicity of the police.

It’s also imo an opportunity based crime (not always hate focused); they know they won’t be prosecuted so they’ll focus on certain minorities knowing police and governments won’t put much effort into things. I have a friend who is a native and was violently attacked and brutalized by a white man, he had 5 other victims. He attacked a white woman and was convicted of a less severe attack on her and jailed for a few years. The police never filed charges against him for the native women even after lots of evidence it was the same guy, those cases are either cold or closed. My friend has been trying to find out why now that she’s an adult and can advocate for herself but the department still has little interest in it, maybe hate crime on governs now that I think about it; turning a blind eye so these communities will still suffer; but to the criminal they’re just easy prey with 0 consequences

You and your whole family go missing and no one is properly looking for you? Sounds like horror to me

Small children most likely being murdered is exactly what horror sounds like

Worst part is this type of treatment continued well past what most think. I remember heart that in the 60s and 70s the Canadian version of CPS was removing children from their families “because they were poor” and still institutionalized them. So on certain levels it continued and while less overt still does so. So of course the native communities will be closed off and not talk to the cops, they are the enemy

Goes to show how normalized violence is against indigenous populations in the Americas. Its sickening that people have been conditioned into being so apathetic so that the systematic oppression of a group can be acceptable

😢💔🇨🇦

Knowing the RCMP I think it's fair to assume they have precisely 0 people working on this case and if the truth ever comes out it won't be as a result of any so-called "investigation."

Yeah. It seems that way. And evidence seems to suggest that Ronnie attempted to get someone to care for the kids (his brother) before accepting the offer, so it clearly wasn’t the ideal scenario for the family, else they wouldn’t have made that call. People say the offer of daycare is weird but what if was more casual (as in ‘just bring the kids and watch them yourself’) and Ronnie just said day care was available to his mom to appease her? Then such an offer would have been much for believable for Ronnie and Doreen. The offer may have just been made at 7pm but they were chatting in the pub for a while, and 1am was just when they left as Doreen would have needed time to prepare for the kids. So many aspects to this case. If only there were more witnesses in the pub that night…

And the way he hurried them, they had to leave that night!

Many would. Never under-estimate human stupidity!

it depends on what country one is in... in my country strangers offer other strangers jobs all the time. I had a friend come over and visit me for three months from overseas and while he was here, he had two offers given to him for a job just out of the blue by strangers (when he wasn't even after a job).

Thank you. I think so much of that has to do with a ‘cycle of apathy’.

But that cycle in itself is extremely telling.

@@john-ic5pz take your own advice there John, what are YOU doing instead of unfairly criticising strangers on the internet who make perfectly reasonable comments?

@@eighthdoctor The first step to change is awareness. If people aren't aware of the crimes being committed against the First Nations, then the police/government are just able to sweep it under the rug. It's a deep issue of corruption and abuse of power, that can't be solved by just one person. But if more people are aware, then they will be unwilling to let the abuse and racism be covered up in their own communities. I can understand the frustration of John though. Maybe part of their bitterness is from lack of action by those in power and scale of the ignorance of most Canadians. Doesn't make them lashing out at well meaning strangers alright though.

Not our First Nation Citizens... The First Nation Citizens. I got corrected on this before. The First people of Canada ❤

​@@Human4Peacebut they arent. There is archaeological records showing that these "natives" crossed a land bridge and killed off those who were living in Canada before them. Just like the so called "Natives" in the USA who decended from a wave of migration from Asia and killed off the peoples who were there before them

How insensitive are you

like what? name some things?

​@@BillyBlankStareLike apologies for trying to earse them/their culture?

Ha, no kidding. That one calendar transition scene towards the end nearly made me throw my PC out the window 😂
