Colonialism of the Curve: Indigenous Communities and Bad COVID Data

Discusses the large discrepancy between incidence and mortality rates reported by Indigenous Services Canada and those reported by communities themselves and compares the two sets of numbers in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec. Argues that jurisdictional battles between federal and provincial governments have negatively impacted both delivery of services and accumulation of accurate information, with the result being lack of accountability at both levels of government.
