health care for everyone is better than what we have in america. health care for some, sometimes, for some of the diseases, as long as you get the right job and keep that job forever. let's start with the problem that we have in common. the opioid epidemic. both our countries are on the midst of a public health crisis, but canada is doing something different. canada offering drug injection clinics. a place where you're allowed to legally shoot up and then go home without fear of prosecution. . and don't misunderstand. hard drugs aren't anymore legal in khan dab that in the yoits.

10:32 pm
>> while the works in eep 20 they are hoeing to have the sail success. take vancouver. drug deaths have tripled but amazingly one clinic reported in 2015 they had intervened in 4,922 overdoses with zero deaths. starting in spring 2018, vancouver will test out atm-like vending machines that deliver clean opioids, which will provide clean drugs to people. let's hear from my favorite. >>. that's really important. that stat is the reason in 2018 seattle's leading the way in opening the first clinic in the u.s. >> it starts from that place of we have to accept that people use drugs. >> because they think in accepting people where they are at. >> that could be. it's the canadian way.
10:33 pm
>> it's the canadian way. >> the canadian way of health care is a singer payer system. because that's a foreign concept to most americans, let me explain. it's financed by taxes and it covers the cost of essential health care for everyone. one more time for the politician in the back. it covers the cost of essential health care for everyone. paking up their own rules and parted pseudocalls. it's something senator barney sanders was trying to brick to the u.s. and enlisted the help of dr. danielle mark. >> it should be less pressure. >> now you're object my territory. if i wroug you here, giving richard this is what we're

10:35 pm
are and away it means to be canadian. the fundamental answers to value spaced questions. like do we place well being above wealth. do woe need that good health leads to other good outcomes like a strong economy and more cohesive communities. when we polled them and asked what makehouse proud, the health care system comes up at the toim of the hits. but the core values that define it have become symbolic of the country. >> i spent a lot of my career not having insurance. hifs trying to pit thus. >> can i have an inhaler so i b don't die? >> that's totally what you just
10:36 pm
described. let me imagine you grew up as a young kid in canada. you would have had access to primary care team. if you needed to go to the emergency room or admitted to the hospital, which happens to kids with asthma. >> it happen happened to me several times. that's a humane way to run a health care system. it's also an economically smart system. but we don't have pharmaceuticals included in our public plans. so tyour prescription, drug the are not coffered. this is one of the i thinks that we're normal by the experience you're describing of your childhood it doesn't really happen here. >> for me, to see the look on your face when i see these things, this system isn't

10:44 pm
realize about canada that actually are still playing out in certain ways. >> why does canada have such a better reputation? >> pr maybe. when i was growing up, it wasn't in the history books. i felt very isolated. it was very shameful to admit you're native. one of my first memories is being called the dirty indian. this is the history of canada. i they like to idealize that didn't happen here. we have had the truth of the commission now from the first time the government has in a way apologized for the treatment of indigenous peoples in khan. >> we do more of a nobody wants to hear that crap, put in. canada. they had a a six-year investigation that we like to leave buried in the united states. >> generations of children being taken from families and sent to
10:45 pm
schools that forced them to forget lang walk and culture. >> the work that all o'yof ewe us will ensure that that's a promise we never-. >> it's important to knock the past and also the ongoing grow advances. and what the future will look lick. >> so last is of the we did an ep dead about i object a lot of people were covered. and i looked it up and that's when i realized a lot of the activism around the work is here. >> the issue of indigenous women and girls missing has been a long standing issue within our community. the fbi of canada and onlily they said only 500 or so missing. then when the new government came in and greated to a
10:46 pm
national inquiry. it's there's been wick that have gone missing and murdered from coast to coast. it's a part of our history. >> it's a part of the the united states present. in 2016 there was 5,712 native women and girls reported missing. and between 2013 and 2016, there have been only 14 federal investigations into 2 prosecutions of these cases. while women are victims of crime maybe activists poept to the -- that they believe in power would be attackerers. and the numbers prove they often do. >> i know that affected you personally with your sister. can't even talk about her stir. >> my sister was a beautiful, young, 25-year-old. she actually came when she was
10:47 pm
about 22 to toronto. she came to study and she wanted to finish her degree in fashion arts here at the college and actually graduated three months before she was found dead. >> thank you for tell iing your female, her story. >> it's okay. it's just kind of there's no resolution. like what happened. why, how, who? it feels kind of oddly rem any sent of thes of the of the hast of justice. >> she's strong to be an advocate and even though the government is making strides to fix the problems, it's clear
10:48 pm
they have a lot more work to do. i can't get too judgmental because they are way ahead of the u.s. we got some shared history though. there's a belief there's not a will the of black people, but we're here and how we got here is just two. i'm just going to say you may not do too much talking because you have some laryngitis. >> i'll try. >> my voice is gone, but. i show up and dot work. >> shannon and brian live in buckstown. she's a curator of the historic museum and her husband has written several books on the underground railroad in canada. >> i think we have this very sort of simple narrative in the states of people plan we're
10:49 pm
defining the north as philadelphia, boston, which is so iron i about bosse to be. it's like, i'm free of racism. i'm in boston. so to me, it really makes sense there would be some people who are like i need to get out of this united states system. there was actually slavey in canada. and it ended in 1834. so after that period, you see more and more american coming into canada, but particularly after 1850. >> in 1850 the united states congress passed the fugitive slave law. it required all black people even those in free states had to be returned to the white people who owned them the first place. many of those people said screw this united states nonsense. i'm headed all the way north. they fled to canada via the
10:50 pm

10:51 pm
are so small they will only fit the ankles of children. these are children shackles? >> yes. >> oh my god. wow. some people want to think that happened a long time ago and it doesn't involve me, to think these were once around the ankles of children, little kids. >> yeah. >> this is a heavy burden to carry investigating this history and your family personal history. sometimes it might be overwhelming or gets hard. what keeps you going? >> it does get hard at times. i'm going to cry. sorry. >> they are just people whose stories are so dramatic they need to be known and it's added
10:52 pm
so much to our lives, the people we've met. >> i'm glad to be able to get this out there and let people know. >> thank you. >> thank you for the opportunity. and the safey for "most parallel parallel parking job" goes to...
