About this audiobook

A Canadian Shame is a disturbing collection of information that forces every listener to meditate on the atrocities of government and institutions. Grimes' heritage and personal experience make him the perfect author for this book, but the superior documentation is what makes it as credible as it is fascinating. Although a light is being shined into a very dark corner of our society, one still walks away with a knowledge that truth and love will bring all of humanity together. An uncomfortable story can be a powerful catalyst for unity. Find out all about the Indian Act, residential schools, Indigenous child welfare, unmarked graves, and more in the comprehensive, extremely well-sourced overview of the last 150 years of Canada and the Indian Act.
