I think it's again a question of who matters. I think it was out west--and maybe some of the MPs know this better--but how many aboriginals committed suicide before it became even a news story? If that would have happened to white middle-class men, it would have been front page news. I think it does go back to who matters in this world, in our lives, and in our communities, and who doesn't, and who gets headlines and who doesn't. I agree with you: for that to be on page 6...it's an outrage, really.
