English

Subject field(s)
  • Indigenous Sociology
  • Family Law (common law)
  • Aboriginal Law
CONT

Most Canadians understand the residential schools and the 60s Scoop were horrible tools of assimilation that devastated Indigenous families and caused intergenerational trauma that is still felt today. What many do not understand is that the forced removal of Indigenous kids from their families, continues to happen today in Canada at an alarming rate. Critics call it the Millennium Scoop – government-sponsored apprehension of Indigenous children through child welfare systems, breaking up families, often with little to no evidence that they were at risk of abuse or neglect.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sociologie des Autochtones

CONT

Les groupes autochtones ont travaillé à une réforme de l'adoption et ont obtenu des changements de politiques qui donnent la priorité aux membres de la famille élargie. Cependant, le retrait généralisé d'enfants se poursuit aujourd’hui au travers de familles et de foyers d'accueil dans ce qui a été surnommé la «rafle du millénaire».

DEF

The cathode ray tube indicator in a radar set which displays the received signal.

CONT

In her deposition, Ms. O’Bryan testified that ordinarily when she released an aircraft from the Augusta Airport she would watch her radar screen until the aircraft got high enough to establish radar contact.... [then] if the aircraft had reached high enough to establish radar contact and had then descended below radar contact, the aircraft's call sign would have moved to a "suspense list" on her radar scope, but she said this did not happen.

CONT

When using radar it is important to examine all the storms on the radarscope. ... When the radarscope has several storms, it can be very difficult to determine which one will be the "storm of the day".

CONT
