"PIGGY'S
PALACE" WHERE DOZENS OF ABORIGINAL SEX TRADE WORKERS WERE SLAUGHTERED
There have been many manifestations of the failure of federal protection for
Aboriginal peoples. One of the most gruesome examples has been expressed in
British Columbia when police long shielded from prosecution the proprietor of
"Piggy's Palace." Pig farmer Robert Pickton went on a more-or-less
public killing spree devouring in his pork packing/late night party emporium
dozens of mostly-Aboriginal sex trade workers. There are reports of snuff
films that record these made-in-Canada atrocities. Many prominent
Vancouverites, including important figures in the criminal justice system,
frequented this notorious establishment known widely in Vancouver as Piggy's
Palace. Who were police, including the federal RCMP,
protecting and who were they willing to see sacrificed? Accordingly, the
failure of the federal Crown to protect the Aboriginal and treaty rights of the
Aboriginal peoples of Canada goes far beyond abstractions. The failure to
protect the human rights of Aboriginal peoples, but especially of Aboriginal
women, extends to the failure to protect the very persons of Canada's original
title holders. Many hundreds of Aboriginal women across Canada have gone
missing without proper investigations by a criminal justice system that seems
allied with those private and corporate interests that feed on the consumption
of stolen Aboriginal resources, wrecked and snuffed Aboriginal lives.
