Harper government retaliation case against Aboriginal advocate
The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled a Harper government official retaliated against Cindy Blackstock over her racial discrimination complaint on on reserve child welfare. The government spent years and millions to delay the case, while Blackstock alleges improper monitoring of her activities and access to registrar records. The tribunal ordered $20,000 in damages, with Blackstock donating it to charity, amid potential government appeals and ongoing political controversy.
