What if they were your children?

Genocide. Here in Canada. Thousands of children dead as a result of a system forced upon them. And these are our children. Our country's children. What if they were yours? Impossible as a mother not to think of our own children and the lives we've been able to afford them, the hugs and kisses we smother upon them.
While we were taking them to Saunders Farm for Halloween, the shopping mall for their first visit with Santa, tucking them in at night with a bedtime story, aboriginal children were being abused, with no love at all around them.
