      Canada. A tuberculosis update: in November 114 countries were represented at a World Health Organization conference in Moscow "on Ending Tuberculosis in the Sustainable Development Era: A Multisectoral Response," pledging a global commitment - "the Moscow Declaration to End TB." In a world wide effort so far the global TB rate has dropped 37% since 2000. In Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut, a mobile medical clinic was installed February 5th to test all 600 residents of the community for tuberculosis within ten weeks, before moving on to the next community. Nunavut's tuberculosis rate almost doubled between 2016 and 2017. In 2015 its tuberculosis rate was 26 times the average for Canada. It is unclear why the Government of Canada has not declared a national emergency for all areas of Indigenous health, nutrition, and living conditions.     Partial sources online: "Tuberculosis May Finally Be History Thanks To Global Efforts," Kate Ryan, Feb. 8, 2018, GOOD Worldwide Inc.; "New global commitment to end tuberculosis," WHO News release, Nov. 17, 2017, World Health Organization; "Major effort underway to fight tuberculosis outbreak in Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut," Sara Frizzell, Kieran Oudshoorn, Jan 29, 2018, CBC News"Canada: why aren’t conditions of life for First Peoples a national emergency?" J. B. Gerald, March 28, 2016, nightslantern.ca.
      Background concerning the unacceptable high rates of tuberculosis among First Peoples (see previous 1 and 2): the government is treating these rates and the historical presence of tuberculosis as endemic rather than intentional. However the rates risk being understood as a continuation of early Canada's biological warfare against First Peoples. According to Kevin Annett rampant TB in schools was first reported to the government by Dr. George Orton in Alberta, in 1891. "Germ Warfare in Canada: More Evidence" [access:< https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCNNfvtNHqw >] discusses attempts to contaminate Blackfoot and Sarcee peoples under the Treaty Seven Indian Reserves administration of Rev. Samuel Timms in Alberta in the early 1900's. Personal testimonies of victims testifying at Annett's "The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State" (www.itccs.org) provide evidence of biological warfare. These are part of his extensive work recognizing an intention to destroy Canada's Indigenous peoples as inherent in government policies since the country's inception. See previous. His gathering evidence of child abuse against First Peoples extends in later work to evidence of victims from other groups, with allegations against churches, the Vatican, the Pope and the Crown, of sexual abuse or complicity in sexual abuse, but often beyond a narrow focus of the Convention on Genocide as well as conventions of public thinking. While his work in sum may suggest the horrific universality of crimes against children, it nevertheless provides substantial and unrefuted specific evidence of genocide in the government's treatment of Indigenous children. Links are supplied here to the following: Hidden No Longer: Genocide in Canada, Past and Present, by Kevin D. Annett, Updated New Edition of  Hidden from History:  the  Canadian  Holocaust (3rd edition), 2010, The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State and The Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared[access:< http://caid.ca/NoLonHid2010.pdf >]Hidden from History: The Canadian Holocaust; The Untold Story of the Genocide of Aboriginal Peoples by Church and State in Canada, 2001, The Truth Commission into Genocide in Canada [access:< http://canadiangenocide.nativeweb.org/genocide.pdf >]. See previous 1 and 2. Modern bio-warfare tactics against indigenous groups is usually a suppressed issue in the Americas. Writing of Brazil, Shelton H. Davis in his Victims of the Miracle (1977, Cambridge University Press), refers to Brazilian government files and the Figueiredo Report - These files indicated that outsiders had deliberately introduced smallpox, influenza, tuberculosis, and measles organisms among the tribes of the Mato Grosso region between 1957 and 1963. In addition, the files of the Brazilian minister of the interior also suggested that outsiders had consciously introduced tuberculosis organisms among the tribes of the northern section of the Amazon Basin in 1964 and 1965. [p.11].
