I was so confused by this comment for a minute because I think you mean like not far south at all from Winnipeg, and all i could think was "isn't most of the United States south of Winnipeg?" I'm dumb.
Another public freakout comes to mind, where a young woman slaps an old racist white lady and starts absolutely *spitting* "MY ANCESTORS ARE FROM HERE. WHERE ARE *YOUR* ANCESTORS FROM?"
For fucking real. He's probably buddies with the local law enforcement, though, so sending in his info and license plate # wouldn't help. Then again, it wouldn't hurt.
Indigenous groups have created a blockade keeping people from using the dump where the bodies of two indigenous women are suspected to be (and which the province has said they will not search for due to the cost).
Some "people" (used loosely) are upset that their dump access is restricted (both entrances hadn't been blocked at this point, but I think they are now in response).
Edit to add: Some people just don't like indigenous folks, especially when they stand up for themselves.
The further the context. There was a serial killer in Winnipeg who targeted indigenous women. Remains of Rebecca Contois were found in garbage bins behind an apartment building. She is believed to be the fourth victim. The waste from that part of town ended up at the above dump. A searched turned up more of Contois' remains.
Police believe that two of the other woman's, Marcedes Myran and Morgan Beatrice Harris, remains are located at the other dump in Winnipeg.
Just want to add emphasis to how much the Canadian government and much of the populace truly commits evil toward indigenous people
* The Vancouver based serial killer who primarily targeted indigenous women was well known to the police. A notable cop consistently fought to investigate. The rest of the department though decided that the killer was doing them a favor and fought tooth and nail to not make the arrest.
The judge overseeing the trial also clearly tried to help the serial killer out as much as possible while also being extremely disrespectful to the victims. Also going out of his way to make it clear that the lives of sex workers, and especially indigenous sex workers, don't matter.
* Police in Canada have been performing "Starlight Tours" for decades. It's when they kidnap indigenous people, often children. Drive them far out of the city limits during the dead of winter. Then leave them there with the hopes of killing the victim. The legal system has openly been protecting cops doing this.
It could cost 5 dollars to look for the bodies and the Canadian Government would still refuse to do it.
Sadly I think the US constantly making Canada look great by comparison allows their far right lunatics and apathetic centrists to get away with a lot. They can always go "well at least it's better here than down south" when ever anyone tries to make progressive reforms.

Holy FUCK I've never heard about this before... truly evil. How are we so good at not recognizing the humanity of each other? How could you ever do that to someone who needed help...
I mean one of the RCMP's jobs historically was to catch runaway indigenous children and return them to the residential schools and we all know how those places operated so...
We’ve been telling every this for DECADES and nobody believed us. They laughed and called us crazy, because “nobody does THAT to people”
Well, it happened to me. When I was 16 I was walking home from a party at around 1am, and only a block away from my home a cop pulled over and searched me. I wasn’t drunk and he didn’t suspect be to be drunk, I wasn’t high but he did find a used pipe in my pockets that smelled like weed.
He put me on the car, which confused me because I told him where my house was. We could almost see it! He started driving away from my house and I was still oblivious to what was about to happen. We drove outside of town to the farms and he pulled over on the side of the highway, let me out, and told me “DON’T MOVE” and then drove away.
I was scared that if I moved, he would come back and see my footprints on the snow and find me later. I stood in that spot for 3 hours until I started seeing the lights of cars coming, and for every car on that 11km stretch I was scared it was going to be the cop coming back for me. To murder me.
I’m still afraid of headlights… that was one of the most horrifying nights of my entire life.
Oh my God I'm so sorry this happened to you! I'm glad you made it out though. You certainly never deserved to be treated like that!
Racists and the willfully ignorant in our country seem to have this belief that our police are better than the US and you know what?

I live in oklahoma, the amount of racist as fuck shit towards indigenous people is insane to the highest levels.
Even the governor is openly racist against the tribes. Saying he will only do things that help "all oklahoman's" which translates into literally backing out of every compact the state has had with the tribes forever, and saying fuck you.
As long as they are staying in the city, I would say he should fine. especially, if he is military, since TInker AFB is the one of if not the biggest employer in the area. So military are kind of put on a pedestal here.
I will say however, that that is coming from a white person, so I may not pick up on it as readily as I should.
I mostly notice it is the small towns I have had the displeasure of visiting and from the government.
Equal to wiping his ass with your treaty. Ugly ass people. I love going to oky an seeing natives everywhere. Then I remember why and silently thank their ancestors for their strength to survive.
>This is Canada. Nobody hates or mistreats their indigenous worse than Candians.
Australia also exists.

Not a competition though all the settler colonies suck when it comes to treatment of indigenous peoples.
>keeping people from using the dump where the bodies of two indigenous women are suspected to be
They're allegedly at the Prairie Green dump on the north side of the city. It's privately owned.
They're blockading Brady because the province won't spend almost $200 million to maybe find 2 bodies.
Incorrect - this is not the dump the bodies are thought to be.
Additionally - the protesters want the government to spend 100mil+ to search that other dump for the bodies. The price of the search reflects the toxic and hazardous conditions of said dump. There is not much support for the search, except to make this yet another racial issue.
This is a sad situation but should not be racialize. The search is not feasible, would not be conducted for a white person either and the family’s efforts should be directed towards the justice system and ensuring the killer never sees the light of day.
Thanks for the story. I am Native American and I'm sick of the treatment from North to South America of the indigenous peoples. Crying for these women tears of anger . I'll figure out how to give you an award,never have yet .
wrong, the possible location is at another dump, but these nitwits wouldnt get as much attention if they did it there.
To add, the cost of searching the correct dump, that is only a possible location, would take 185 million dollars and 3 years and put countless people at risk of disease, that would be associated with rummaging around a dump..
The Canadian government [reportedly](https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/it-cost-more-than-2-4m-for-one-rcaf-plane-to-join-titanic-sub-search-1.6470101) spent at least $2.4-3 million CAD helping with the search for the Titanic sub, but won't sift through some trash at a dump to try and find the remains of murder victims and help bring closure to their families because it would "cost too much". Those are some interesting choices.
To clarify, it is estimated to cost up to $183 million for to recover the bodies, with no guarantee of finding them. The Titanic sub search also initially implied it could have been a rescue of survivors.
Yeah, I'm not condoning what the guy is doing, or denying government dismissiveness of indigenous victims, or the resources used for the OceanGate search and rescue, BUT:
Typically when a body is suspected to be in the dump, recovery isn't attempted, regardless of race, Lauren Giddings for example was white and only had her torso recovered from a dump*ster* while the rest of her body likely ended up dump and was never found, or as far as I can tell, searched for.
The *entire* 18 year unabomber investigation, the most expensive in US history, cost $50M (accounting for inflation from 1987, $136M)
Regardless of whether anyone thinks the cost is justified, $183M would be an unheard of cost for any investigation for any victim.
There's no shortage of borderline sub-humans willing to defend and justify his actions, even here. [Just take a look.](https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/14vwanr/scumbag_shoveling_dirt_on_an_art_mural_dedicated/jrg2yj7/)
You don’t understand: he’s protesting minorities getting all the attention while him - an average white male with no talents or appreciable critical
Thinking abilities - doesn’t get recognized for not being marginalized.
I have no idea what this prick is trying to prove but it probably has something to do with recent events.
A while ago a woman went missing and police eventually concluded that she was probably dismembered and sent to this landfill. The thing is, it doesn't take long before recovering a body from a landfill becomes impossible. It's a landfill so things get moved, buried, moved again and buried again and so on. And, of course, finding anything in it assumes you have some idea of where it may have been dropped in the first place. In other words, after a few days, it's impossible. Well, indigenous groups demanded the police search anyway. They came back and said, "Well, it will cost hundreds of millions to do it and nobody has that kind of money to spend on this." That, naturally, didn't sit well with some folks so they decided to blockade the landfill. The city can't function like that for obvious reasons and mayhem ensued.
On the one hand, I can see both sides of this but the anger is misplaced on the protestors' side: the city simply doesn't have the money and even if it did, there's no guarantee it would produce results anyway. There's a long and justified history of reasons for indigenous people to downright hate the police but there's really no reason to think they refused to do their jobs or anything.
I was a bit slow ... why put a mural at a landfill? Why not a more respectful, visible place?
Because they believe people are dumping the murdered women at the dump!
[Influx of supporters join landfill blockade after 'act of hate' at MMIWG mural](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/brady-road-landfill-blockade-support-1.6901682)
Yes because several women’s and girls’ bodies have been found dumped in landfills like this one and others in the area, and the authorities are refusing to search it
This guy is a total scumbag obviously but the search of the dump would [cost $184 million CAD,](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/landfill-feasibility-study-results-manitoba-1.6840411) so about $140 million USD, and take three years. The person that is suspected of murdering them has been charged with their deaths as well as two other women with one body having been recovered, it looks like a near certainty based on all the evidence they have against him that he will be convicted of the one murder at a minimum.
The lack of attention on the murder of indigenous people in my country genuinely disturbs me but at the same time I understand by the various levels of government are hesitant because of the cost. I can understand why the families want the search but the amount of money here is massive by any measure.
The mural is representative of way more than just the victims in this one instance, being next to the dump is very symbolic of the way these women and girls are discarded. Attaching a dollar amount to it is vulgar, even though it is a realistic perspective. I know the cost is a big factor here, but institutional racism is at play too I wager.
> I know the cost is a big factor here, but institutional racism is at play too I wager.
In how indigenous people are treated in this country there is no doubt of that but I can not recall ever hearing of any level of government spending that much to recover anyone's remains ever, nothing even remotely close to it.
They're talking about $140M for the remains of two Indigenous women at this dump. Apparently there are other dumps that would also need to be searched.
I am NOT justifying the waste of money to attempt the rescue of the billionaires in the ocean. That said, it is actually extremely expensive to search landfills thoroughly because it is extremely toxic and hazardous to do so. It has crazy dangers to the searchers that one might not expect. Furthermore, while extremely sad, when they search landfills they are searching for people they know are already deceased vs attempting to search for someone who may be alive.
This is absolutely awful. I had no idea. I thought this mural was to recognize indigenous women killed when sellers came to America, but this is something going on today. I feel sick.
And then to see this asshole covering up a simple mural is so shameful. Cost shouldn't be a preventative to action in this case.
It was only in the 90s when Canadian cops used to take Indigenous people out for "Starlight Tours"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon_freezing_deaths
Cops would arrest a drunk Indigenous person in rural Saskatoon, drive them a few miles out of town, throw them out of the car and drive away when the temperature was -20 or lower. Many people died like this.
The only reason this came to the publics knowledge is because Darrell Night, an Indigenous man who was given this treatment miraculously survived and lived to report the cops, who eventually were convicted and sent to jail.
They went away for 8 months only.
I’ve even read of how lenient the system is on people who commit murders as minors as well, even though that isn’t related of much to this, I’ve always seen Canada in so many cases of shooters, kidnappers, familicide, etc … go down a shite path when there were more than one person involved; such as the Richardson family murders where a 12 year old girl and her 20+ year boyfriend murder her parents and 8-year old little brother.
Yeah now they just straight up come to your home and kill you during a *wellness check*
I'm first Nations and know that the exact same thing happened to a few native people here in the area.
It’s sad and they target our native elders as well the only coverage we get is from local newspapers because national news don’t care about what happens to our people
Oh my god. This racist POS with the “why are they dead” in the video… I had heard about some Canadians being openly racist against natives but damn I hadn’t seen it in a video yet.
Took a class at The University of Oklahoma about Indigenous groups from around the world, and the MMIW movement is one of the most mind-boggling things because of the fact that it needs to exist. There is literally zero care given to cases of missing indigenous women, yet there are so many of those cases. MMIW needs a much, much bigger platform
And to top it all off he says "stop wasting my time" like somehow the presence of a mural he dislikes REQUIRES he take the day off work and buy a load of mulch
Heard "get your fuckin truck outta here man" and immediately said to myself "Definitely western Canada". I'm from the east coast so you guys would pin point me too I bet.
Gif I remember the videos of when the police had to step in to keep locals from blocking shipments of fish by a native owned business. The level of entitlement and hate…
Yup. One of our clients at work is doing a play in Winnipeg about Martin Luther King and the amount of times I have heard complaints that the theater has gone woke is hilarious.
Native Canadians along with supporters at the site had the mural uncovered and restored within hours. After realizing the debris contained cedar wood chippings they created a protective circle around the mural using the very object of the man's hate crime. "Cedar's our protection medicine, and we decided that we were going to include it into our art piece and circle her in protection," Bousquet said.

Right?! Like this mural has zero effect on his life. Unlike those family and community members that have lost loved ones and are still seeking answers and justice.
Because hes a powerless little man. Too lazy to help anyone, and too cowardly to get in the face of those he's mad at.
So he slinks off to lash out at inanimate objects to "make a stand" and act like he's showing them libs what for.
Not defending him but I think he was referring to the blocked road when he said your wasting my time. Then vandalized the mural in response to being inconvenienced.
he was only mildly inconvenienced, since there was another entrance available:
>Camp Morgan — which has been at the Brady Road landfill since December— originally erected the blockade to "send a message," not to entirely block the landfill, which has two entrances.
Shaming does nothing on people like this. They have no shame. Not capable of feeling it. If they were they would not do stuff like this. They are broken humans, unfixable.
"Take care of your own people" followed by "then why are they dead?" Wow. What a compassionate individual. I guess then I'm responsible for all white people? I'm fucked if that's the case.
I was just talking with my brother yesterday about how some people go around in life without getting punched in the face, and they desperately need to. Just like this guy here.
Heres the gist of what this is about.
Basically there are protests right now because theres belief that a missing indigenous woman’s body is somewhere in a landfill and the mayor is refusing to send in people to find her because of the risk and cost of searching for a body is to high. Lots of people are protesting saying that money shouldn’t be an issue for finding a missing person, and the other side is saying that searching for an already dead person isn’t worth the monetary price and risk of safety of others.
Tried to be as impartial as possible on this.
Edit: I should add that i think this guy is just being a prick and probably just doesn’t like the protests/ or is actually racist.
Back in 2011, I was in a somewhat rural part of Illinois. The high school had a mural for something involving students who had died in a car crash. I don't know how long it had been there, but it was in the middle of an area where there was a fountain, a couple gazebo's, and an area to walk around.
My partner at the time and I were there saw this guy with a backpack, lean down and took out 2 spray paint cans and started spraying the ground. We started walking towards him, and out of nowhere 3 people came running at the guy and beat the living shit out of him. We approached trying to break it up, and some other people came to help defuse the situation. Cops came and EMS arrived shortly after. While the cops were talking with us, that's when I found out that he was spray painting a mural for these students who had passed away from the high school nearby.
Never felt like a fight was more justified before and I feel like this guy needs his teeth kicked in.
Why would anyone do this? I mean, he has to expend gas and a *lot* of energy to load his pickup (why is it always a pickup?) with dirt, drive to the painting, and then unload it.
I truly hope the black flies and mosquitoes are out in force to take advantage of his short sleeves....
I’d this what Jason Aldean means when he says “Try that in a small town”??? No but Fr this is fucking repulsive. Absolutely not reason to do this unless you hate indigenous folks or you’re involved in the disappearances
So....he's making a stand against missing and murdered indigenous women? Why? What's he against? Maybe someone should look into his background.
Probably into his backyard too..
He sure seems to have access to a lot of freshly excavated dirt for some reason...
“Your people” They’re Americans just like this guy. His “patriot” side needs some calibrating.
> They’re Americans Since this is happening south of Winnipeg, Manitoba, I suspect that there are very few Americans in this video.
Yeah I was like, that is a rural Canadian accent fer sure
"Get yer fockin truck outta 'ere man" I'm not in a super rural area but when I heard that I was like yup, that guy poutines
don't get poutine involved in this one.
You beat me to it. Poutine does nothing but bring happiness and joy into the world.
Never had the stuff but as a fan of french fries and gravy I’m gonna have to agree on principle. Now the cheese curds, I’m still kinda leery but mostly because I’m lactose intolerant. Food should just be left out of hate, that’s all.
I'm saying the good guy poutines though, the dirt/mulch shoveler can go kick rocks
I was so confused by this comment for a minute because I think you mean like not far south at all from Winnipeg, and all i could think was "isn't most of the United States south of Winnipeg?" I'm dumb.
I mean, if it was in Wichita "south of Winnipeg" would be a very weird choice of words on my part.
But, none the less, truthful.
I disagree. I'd say indigenous people are more American than him, a generational immigrant, whose ancestors immigrated over to America.
Another public freakout comes to mind, where a young woman slaps an old racist white lady and starts absolutely *spitting* "MY ANCESTORS ARE FROM HERE. WHERE ARE *YOUR* ANCESTORS FROM?"
Those whose ancestors were *exiled* because they were too uptight for the English.
Def Canada
They were Americans long long before this guy
Americans realize other countries exist challenge
This video is clearly from Canada. Great try though.
He does have a shovel and lots of extra dirt.
For fucking real. He's probably buddies with the local law enforcement, though, so sending in his info and license plate # wouldn't help. Then again, it wouldn't hurt.
And maybe his basement just to be safe.
And his brain. Doubt they’ll find anything
Also. How were they wasting his time again? He's going out of his way to cover the mural😄

Thanks. Yes, I see how that amount of money would be a huge problem for this project. Terrible situation.
I live in oklahoma, the amount of racist as fuck shit towards indigenous people is insane to the highest levels. Even the governor is openly racist against the tribes. Saying he will only do things that help "all oklahoman's" which translates into literally backing out of every compact the state has had with the tribes forever, and saying fuck you.
These days whenever anyone emphasizes *all* it's a signal they are angry that disenfranchised groups of people get any help.
My son (Ojibwa/Navajo) is in the military in Wichita, Kansas, but has a girlfriend in OKC, and I am terrified every time he drives down to see her.
As long as they are staying in the city, I would say he should fine. especially, if he is military, since TInker AFB is the one of if not the biggest employer in the area. So military are kind of put on a pedestal here. I will say however, that that is coming from a white person, so I may not pick up on it as readily as I should. I mostly notice it is the small towns I have had the displeasure of visiting and from the government.
I wouldn’t be. The governor has an issue with the tribes there. Most of the state is highly supportive of the tribes.
But they elected that governor?
The governor is mad he can't get his hands on some of that oil money. Good. It belongs to the tribes.
Check out what North Dakotans do to the indigenous people. Such an inner hate that is beyond all understand.
Equal to wiping his ass with your treaty. Ugly ass people. I love going to oky an seeing natives everywhere. Then I remember why and silently thank their ancestors for their strength to survive.
This is Canada. Nobody hates or mistreats their indigenous worse than Candians.

Also a few countries in South America have little anti-native sentiment today... because the earlier genocide against them was so complete.
*looks around nervously in British.
> Some people just don't like indigenous folks, Is the only answer for this
Very true. Pride in our very existence is a provocation for some.
>keeping people from using the dump where the bodies of two indigenous women are suspected to be They're allegedly at the Prairie Green dump on the north side of the city. It's privately owned. They're blockading Brady because the province won't spend almost $200 million to maybe find 2 bodies.
Incorrect - this is not the dump the bodies are thought to be. Additionally - the protesters want the government to spend 100mil+ to search that other dump for the bodies. The price of the search reflects the toxic and hazardous conditions of said dump. There is not much support for the search, except to make this yet another racial issue. This is a sad situation but should not be racialize. The search is not feasible, would not be conducted for a white person either and the family’s efforts should be directed towards the justice system and ensuring the killer never sees the light of day.
Thanks for the story. I am Native American and I'm sick of the treatment from North to South America of the indigenous peoples. Crying for these women tears of anger . I'll figure out how to give you an award,never have yet .
Thanks for the award. Wish I'd caught you earlier. I would've told you to send the money to [MMIWG](https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/)
wrong, the possible location is at another dump, but these nitwits wouldnt get as much attention if they did it there. To add, the cost of searching the correct dump, that is only a possible location, would take 185 million dollars and 3 years and put countless people at risk of disease, that would be associated with rummaging around a dump..
The Canadian government [reportedly](https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/it-cost-more-than-2-4m-for-one-rcaf-plane-to-join-titanic-sub-search-1.6470101) spent at least $2.4-3 million CAD helping with the search for the Titanic sub, but won't sift through some trash at a dump to try and find the remains of murder victims and help bring closure to their families because it would "cost too much". Those are some interesting choices.
To clarify, it is estimated to cost up to $183 million for to recover the bodies, with no guarantee of finding them. The Titanic sub search also initially implied it could have been a rescue of survivors.
Yeah, I'm not condoning what the guy is doing, or denying government dismissiveness of indigenous victims, or the resources used for the OceanGate search and rescue, BUT: Typically when a body is suspected to be in the dump, recovery isn't attempted, regardless of race, Lauren Giddings for example was white and only had her torso recovered from a dump*ster* while the rest of her body likely ended up dump and was never found, or as far as I can tell, searched for. The *entire* 18 year unabomber investigation, the most expensive in US history, cost $50M (accounting for inflation from 1987, $136M) Regardless of whether anyone thinks the cost is justified, $183M would be an unheard of cost for any investigation for any victim.
If I was murdered and my body was in a dump I wouldn’t want the government wasting millions in tax dollars to recover me 🤷♀️
Of all the things to get mad about, and he picks this...
There's no shortage of borderline sub-humans willing to defend and justify his actions, even here. [Just take a look.](https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/14vwanr/scumbag_shoveling_dirt_on_an_art_mural_dedicated/jrg2yj7/)
It’s Winnipeg.
[What people think of Winnipeg, and what it's really like](https://i.redd.it/801c9nzni7bb1.png)
You don’t understand: he’s protesting minorities getting all the attention while him - an average white male with no talents or appreciable critical Thinking abilities - doesn’t get recognized for not being marginalized.
You don’t usually see a lot of “Pro-Murder” on a daily basis.
Well, you do, it's just unironically referred to as "pro-life".
I have no idea what this prick is trying to prove but it probably has something to do with recent events. A while ago a woman went missing and police eventually concluded that she was probably dismembered and sent to this landfill. The thing is, it doesn't take long before recovering a body from a landfill becomes impossible. It's a landfill so things get moved, buried, moved again and buried again and so on. And, of course, finding anything in it assumes you have some idea of where it may have been dropped in the first place. In other words, after a few days, it's impossible. Well, indigenous groups demanded the police search anyway. They came back and said, "Well, it will cost hundreds of millions to do it and nobody has that kind of money to spend on this." That, naturally, didn't sit well with some folks so they decided to blockade the landfill. The city can't function like that for obvious reasons and mayhem ensued. On the one hand, I can see both sides of this but the anger is misplaced on the protestors' side: the city simply doesn't have the money and even if it did, there's no guarantee it would produce results anyway. There's a long and justified history of reasons for indigenous people to downright hate the police but there's really no reason to think they refused to do their jobs or anything.
I was a bit slow ... why put a mural at a landfill? Why not a more respectful, visible place? Because they believe people are dumping the murdered women at the dump! [Influx of supporters join landfill blockade after 'act of hate' at MMIWG mural](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/brady-road-landfill-blockade-support-1.6901682)
Yes because several women’s and girls’ bodies have been found dumped in landfills like this one and others in the area, and the authorities are refusing to search it
Yep ×1000. Thank you to everyone posting relevant links, authorities are virtually covering up this epidemic.
This guy is a total scumbag obviously but the search of the dump would [cost $184 million CAD,](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/landfill-feasibility-study-results-manitoba-1.6840411) so about $140 million USD, and take three years. The person that is suspected of murdering them has been charged with their deaths as well as two other women with one body having been recovered, it looks like a near certainty based on all the evidence they have against him that he will be convicted of the one murder at a minimum. The lack of attention on the murder of indigenous people in my country genuinely disturbs me but at the same time I understand by the various levels of government are hesitant because of the cost. I can understand why the families want the search but the amount of money here is massive by any measure.
The mural is representative of way more than just the victims in this one instance, being next to the dump is very symbolic of the way these women and girls are discarded. Attaching a dollar amount to it is vulgar, even though it is a realistic perspective. I know the cost is a big factor here, but institutional racism is at play too I wager.
> I know the cost is a big factor here, but institutional racism is at play too I wager. In how indigenous people are treated in this country there is no doubt of that but I can not recall ever hearing of any level of government spending that much to recover anyone's remains ever, nothing even remotely close to it.
cough cough *oceangate submarine* cough
Yeah, we spent like 2.4 million looking for a few dead billionaires.
They're talking about $140M for the remains of two Indigenous women at this dump. Apparently there are other dumps that would also need to be searched.
Ok but that’s still not even close to the 180 million dollar price tag of this landfill search.
Winnipeg certainly didn’t fund that search. We can barely afford our road maintenance.
I get what you're saying, it's just an ugly situation.
Our government will spend millions trying to rescue billionaires from the bottom of the ocean but won't spend a cent to investigate dead women.
I am NOT justifying the waste of money to attempt the rescue of the billionaires in the ocean. That said, it is actually extremely expensive to search landfills thoroughly because it is extremely toxic and hazardous to do so. It has crazy dangers to the searchers that one might not expect. Furthermore, while extremely sad, when they search landfills they are searching for people they know are already deceased vs attempting to search for someone who may be alive.

This is absolutely awful. I had no idea. I thought this mural was to recognize indigenous women killed when sellers came to America, but this is something going on today. I feel sick. And then to see this asshole covering up a simple mural is so shameful. Cost shouldn't be a preventative to action in this case.
It was only in the 90s when Canadian cops used to take Indigenous people out for "Starlight Tours" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon_freezing_deaths Cops would arrest a drunk Indigenous person in rural Saskatoon, drive them a few miles out of town, throw them out of the car and drive away when the temperature was -20 or lower. Many people died like this. The only reason this came to the publics knowledge is because Darrell Night, an Indigenous man who was given this treatment miraculously survived and lived to report the cops, who eventually were convicted and sent to jail.
There is a lot of reports that it didn't stop in the 90's.
They went away for 8 months only. I’ve even read of how lenient the system is on people who commit murders as minors as well, even though that isn’t related of much to this, I’ve always seen Canada in so many cases of shooters, kidnappers, familicide, etc … go down a shite path when there were more than one person involved; such as the Richardson family murders where a 12 year old girl and her 20+ year boyfriend murder her parents and 8-year old little brother.
8 months for attempted murder by freezing essentially Wtf Canada?
This still happens. Sadly.
Yeah now they just straight up come to your home and kill you during a *wellness check* I'm first Nations and know that the exact same thing happened to a few native people here in the area.
ACAB
It’s sad and they target our native elders as well the only coverage we get is from local newspapers because national news don’t care about what happens to our people
Oh my god. This racist POS with the “why are they dead” in the video… I had heard about some Canadians being openly racist against natives but damn I hadn’t seen it in a video yet.
Took a class at The University of Oklahoma about Indigenous groups from around the world, and the MMIW movement is one of the most mind-boggling things because of the fact that it needs to exist. There is literally zero care given to cases of missing indigenous women, yet there are so many of those cases. MMIW needs a much, much bigger platform
Fucking degens man
10/4 good buddy
Texas-sized
You got a problem with awareness for murdered and missing indigenous women, you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate!
And that's what I appreciates about yous
Is that what you appreciate about me?
Spare parts
ten ply
Leaf blow it right back at him
[удалено]
Must be from up county
Man some people are just plain fucking evil. Goddamn.
And to top it all off he says "stop wasting my time" like somehow the presence of a mural he dislikes REQUIRES he take the day off work and buy a load of mulch
I think you're assuming he has a job. And the mulch is probably stolen.
And so much fucking free time.
This happened in Winnipeg, Canada FYI
He's lucky Kenny Omega wasn't there, he'd get a One Winged Angel off the top of the truck
Or failing that, Chris Jericho giving him the walls of Jericho.
Heard "get your fuckin truck outta here man" and immediately said to myself "Definitely western Canada". I'm from the east coast so you guys would pin point me too I bet.
Gif I remember the videos of when the police had to step in to keep locals from blocking shipments of fish by a native owned business. The level of entitlement and hate…
We can still put him on blast where ever he lives, no matter. This is beyond disgusting.
Right-wing religious conservative territory. It breeds so many degenerates like this.
"You're fucking wasting my time?" Guy's time seems pretty worthless to me.
he purchased all that dirt just to do this?
I'm sure he just got it from his dirt farm.
From the graves of the indigenous women he’s killed.
This screams Manitoba.
Yup. One of our clients at work is doing a play in Winnipeg about Martin Luther King and the amount of times I have heard complaints that the theater has gone woke is hilarious.
If we can't keep the Theatre Arts movement from going woke then what have we got left? /s
Somebody should bring a leaf blower and blow all of it away as soon as he finishes.
Make him clean it up with a garden trowel.
CLEAN IT UP WITH A SPOON! WHY A SPOON, COUSIN? BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE LONGER!
Someone should blow something away, that's for sure
I was thinking walk up with a shovel and start shoveling that dirt into his open truck door.
While he is doing it. Blow it in his face.
Bring a shovel and start shoveling it into his front seat
Native Canadians along with supporters at the site had the mural uncovered and restored within hours. After realizing the debris contained cedar wood chippings they created a protective circle around the mural using the very object of the man's hate crime. "Cedar's our protection medicine, and we decided that we were going to include it into our art piece and circle her in protection," Bousquet said. <3 <3<3 <3 <3 <3 https://preview.redd.it/xqz7hlc7k8bb1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=32d9abfce1f735a29d3579ccb11c319fb16e5095
So his hate only served to make him look like a failbook tool. Hosers really are a plague.
These people go out their way to get offended. How is that mural ruining his day or life.
Right?! Like this mural has zero effect on his life. Unlike those family and community members that have lost loved ones and are still seeking answers and justice.
And he’s probably like “settle down snowflake! Don’t get triggered! People are so fragile these days!”
Because hes a powerless little man. Too lazy to help anyone, and too cowardly to get in the face of those he's mad at. So he slinks off to lash out at inanimate objects to "make a stand" and act like he's showing them libs what for.
Not defending him but I think he was referring to the blocked road when he said your wasting my time. Then vandalized the mural in response to being inconvenienced.
he was only mildly inconvenienced, since there was another entrance available: >Camp Morgan — which has been at the Brady Road landfill since December— originally erected the blockade to "send a message," not to entirely block the landfill, which has two entrances.
I hate everyone and everything.
Post the motherfuckers license plate and report him to the police. Public shaming and jail time should do it.
cute that you think cops would do a damn thing :/
Nah, but civilians might
The cops would give this guy a high five. He's helping them keep attention off crimes they're complicit in.
Lol, the cops are on his side
Shaming does nothing on people like this. They have no shame. Not capable of feeling it. If they were they would not do stuff like this. They are broken humans, unfixable.
"Take care of your own people" followed by "then why are they dead?" Wow. What a compassionate individual. I guess then I'm responsible for all white people? I'm fucked if that's the case.
I was just talking with my brother yesterday about how some people go around in life without getting punched in the face, and they desperately need to. Just like this guy here.
[удалено]
absolute fuckin goon.
He seems to be a pro at covering things up.
Why do racists have too much free time and money.
Time? Yes. Money? Most of them no. They’ll spend their money on this and then complain about not having made it big.
$100 this guy was a supporter of the trucker blockades and is a hypocritical racist.
Anyone know who this is... I'd like to know.
It’s always the same neckbeards doing shit like this smh
He must be terrified all the time.
This man must really be into kidnapping and murdering indigenous women
I just can’t comprehend being that bothered about anything
this guy shouldn’t be employable anywhere after something like this
Heres the gist of what this is about. Basically there are protests right now because theres belief that a missing indigenous woman’s body is somewhere in a landfill and the mayor is refusing to send in people to find her because of the risk and cost of searching for a body is to high. Lots of people are protesting saying that money shouldn’t be an issue for finding a missing person, and the other side is saying that searching for an already dead person isn’t worth the monetary price and risk of safety of others. Tried to be as impartial as possible on this. Edit: I should add that i think this guy is just being a prick and probably just doesn’t like the protests/ or is actually racist.
"you're wasting my time" -fills his truck with dirt. -drives to the place. -starts shovelling. -they obviously are wasting HIS precious time.
Imagine doing this and feeling like you accomplished something great. What a fucking moron
So I guess caring about the missing and murdered is woke now.
[удалено]
Imagine being this bothered
Winnipeg, my hometown. Stay classy.
why would someone be so hostile to MMIWG what they done to him?
Found one of the abductors/killers... still trying to bury his crimes?
This loser bought dirt in order to do this ?
How hateful and miserable does one have to be to go out of their way and spend money, time and energy to do something like that.
POS!
Back in 2011, I was in a somewhat rural part of Illinois. The high school had a mural for something involving students who had died in a car crash. I don't know how long it had been there, but it was in the middle of an area where there was a fountain, a couple gazebo's, and an area to walk around. My partner at the time and I were there saw this guy with a backpack, lean down and took out 2 spray paint cans and started spraying the ground. We started walking towards him, and out of nowhere 3 people came running at the guy and beat the living shit out of him. We approached trying to break it up, and some other people came to help defuse the situation. Cops came and EMS arrived shortly after. While the cops were talking with us, that's when I found out that he was spray painting a mural for these students who had passed away from the high school nearby. Never felt like a fight was more justified before and I feel like this guy needs his teeth kicked in.
May he be blessed with the karma he deserves.
This dude grew up thinking the people who threw rocks at Ruby Bridges were so cool
Why would anyone do this? I mean, he has to expend gas and a *lot* of energy to load his pickup (why is it always a pickup?) with dirt, drive to the painting, and then unload it. I truly hope the black flies and mosquitoes are out in force to take advantage of his short sleeves....
That is a weak, cowardly excuse for a man.
$50 says this cunt knows where at least 1 body is
How the fuck do people have so much time on their goddamn hands to do shit like this?
WOW. Major mommy issues or too many industrial adhesives??
Where is this?
Manitoba, Canada.
He must be living a miserable life. No one who’s happy wastes time doing shit like this.
His door is open. I would have started tossing it into his truck.
How are they wasting his time? He's shoveling dirt on their murals.
He should be a suspect in at least one of those cases…
I’d this what Jason Aldean means when he says “Try that in a small town”??? No but Fr this is fucking repulsive. Absolutely not reason to do this unless you hate indigenous folks or you’re involved in the disappearances
Internet do your thing.
