All because she was Indigenous. It makes me angry and sad.
Marlene Bird, Saskatchewan woman viciously assaulted, set on fire in 2014, dies
Linda Lavallee, friend of Bird, said the 50-year-old Indigenous woman died Monday at a hospital in Prince Albert, Sask. Lavallee also said Bird had forgiven Leslie Black, the man who attacked and sexually assaulted her.
PRINCE ALBERT, SASK.—A woman who lost both her legs and much of her eyesight after she was viciously attacked and set on fire in a back alley more than three years ago has died.
Linda Lavallee, a friend of Marlene Bird, said the 50-year-old Indigenous woman died Monday at a hospital in Prince Albert, Sask.
Lavallee said Bird entered hospital on Nov. 20, went into a coma on Wednesday and never regained consciousness after suffering heart, liver and kidney failure.
Lavallee said Bird had forgiven Leslie Black, the man who attacked and sexually assaulted her. But she was upset over the 16-year prison term he received in September, and the stress of the case and its outcome affected her health.
Friends saw what was happening to her and convinced her to go to hospital.
“It was very hard on her, even though she forgave (Black),” said Lavallee, a resident of Chilliwack, B.C. “She thought the amount of time that guy was going to get was never enough for the amount of pain she went through.

Teen girls were 'humiliated' after sexually explicit photos were shared.

5 teens guilty of sharing intimate images in Bridgewater Dropbox case
Judge orders release of evidence in Bridgewater intimate photo case
When she sent selfies of her partially naked body, she thought only her boyfriend would see the images.
The teenager never imagined one of the sexually explicit photos would end up being shared with five other boys in a Dropbox account.
"Basically [he] threatened to break up with me if I didn't send him pictures. I was young and naive and just sent them, and then that's what he did with it," she said. "I just think he's a pig."
The young woman is among about 20 other victims, who cannot be identified because of a publication ban. The identities of the six young men who pleaded guilty to sharing intimate images without consent are also protected under Canada's Youth Criminal Justice Act. The sixth officially entered a guilty plea on April 12.

The case was back in Bridgewater, N.S., provincial court today — but was adjourned until May 9 — to allow defence lawyers more time to review a joint statement of facts. Sentencing is scheduled for July 31.
The young men, who range in age from 15 to 19 years old, were all youths at the time of the offences in 2015. They all attended Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School.
Nova Scotia teen accused in sexting case secretly took photos of victim: court documents, 'I know the impact'
The young woman says her relationship didn't last, but the implications of those images continue to haunt her.
"I definitely wouldn't want this to happen to any other teen girl in high school because I know the impact that it can have," she said.
"Other girls will judge them, make them feel bad about themselves, make them feel like a slut for sending the picture, for trusting the person. It hurts self-esteem and it makes it hard for people to trust each other."
Some of the girls were as young as 13 years old when their pictures were shared.
"They made a lot of girls feel self-conscious or bad about themselves and lose their self-esteem and trust, and they can never get that back. What those guys did was very disrespectful. No matter the age, they should know what they did was wrong," said the young woman.

The boys have agreed to attend educational training, similar to restorative justice. The Crown has said it's waiting to see whether the teenagers show remorse before a sentence is recommended.
The young woman who spoke to CBC News says she doesn't believe "this abuse should be taken lightly."
The six teenagers also faced charges of possession and distribution of child pornography, but those charges were dropped last month.

First citizens of this country treated like this.
Saskatoon freezing deaths of Young First Nations Men
The Saskatoon freezing deaths were a series of deaths amongst Canadian Aboriginal people in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in the 2000s. These deaths may have been caused by members of the Saskatoon Police Service, officers of which allegedly arrested Aboriginal men (usually for drunkenness and/or disorderly behavior), drove them out of the city in the dead of winter, and abandoned them there. The practice was known as taking Aboriginal people for "starlight tours".[1]
Victims who died from hypothermia include Rodney Naistus, Lawrence Wegner and Neil Stonechild. Rodney Naistus and Lawrence Wegner died in 2000 and their bodies were discovered on the outskirts of Saskatoon. However, inquests in 2001 and 2002 into their deaths determined their deaths were due to hypothermia, with no evidence of police involvement.[2] The inquest jury's recommendations all related to police policies and police/Aboriginal relations.[3] Neil Stonechild's body was found in 1990 in a field outside Saskatoon. A 2003 inquest was not able to determine the circumstances that led to his death.[2][4][5]
In January 2000, Darrel Night was dropped off on the outskirts of Saskatoon but was able to call a taxi from the nearby Queen Elizabeth Power Station and suffered no ill effects. The two officers involved, constables Dan Hatchen and Ken Munson of the Saskatoon Police Service, claimed that they had simply given Night a ride home and dropped him off at his own request, but were convicted of unlawful confinement in September 2001 and sentenced to eight months in prison.[6]
The Saskatoon police initially insisted these were isolated incidents. But in 2003, police chief Russell Sabo admitted that there was a possibility that the force had been dumping First Nations people outside the city for years, after revealing that in 1976 an officer was disciplined for taking an Aboriginal woman to the outskirts of the city and abandoning her there.[7]
