Today is Red Dress Day. As an Indigenous woman, this day is deeply personal. We carry the stories of our sisters, our aunties, our daughters — too many taken, too many still missing. Red Dress Day is a day of remembrance. But it must also be a call to action.

Canada’s lower per capita GDP doesn’t mean lower living standards. Most Canadians are better off than their U.S. counterparts.
