I'm grateful to see social media posts by friends/allies about the important work on #MMIW #MMIWGTS+ that continues. The matter unfortunately still exists and sometimes it gets worse. February 14th is an important day to honour and remember the victims/survivors/families/friends – at Winnipeg, Manitoba

Last May, my brother Hal Cameron shared a story about our dad that I never knew before. In the 1970s, our dad was an RCMP officer stationed in rural Sask. One night, he pulled over a vehicle he saw swerving on the road. When he walked up to the vehicle, he recognized the driver.
