I heard about that (Canada is not in the news very often here), so awful and sad.

It really is. It has taken us so long to even recognize that we carried out a genocide of indigenous people in this country. (Many Canadians refuse to accept this.)

Reading some of the details of Ms. Echaquan's case, I even wonder whether they simply assumed she was a drug addict (i.e., because she was indigenous) and actually missed a heart attack/myocardial infarction.
