Approximately 40 per cent of rural households and 30 per cent of Indigenous reserves do not have access to high-speed internet, making online learning difficult

Online learning, which has become the norm in more populated parts of Canada when in-person classes are not achievable or desired, is not a viable option across the North. Fox said that 32 of NAN's 49 communities do not have access to high-speed broadband internet – making video instruction and other digital education tools inaccessible.

, 40.8 per cent of rural households and 31.3 per cent of Indigenous reserves had access to high-speed internet as of 2018. Moreover, having the infrastructure in place doesn't mean the service is actually being used. Because Indigenous communities experience higher rates of poverty, some households on reserves may not be able to afford high-speed internet service.

But do they want our education?

Rural communities have been saying this for years . CTVAtlantic and CBCNS have done numerous stories on this. Why did it take a pandemic to bring this to the forefront. Just shows how much our elected officials actually listen. StephenMcNeil mmillershubie

Instead, they have access to tax free booze and cigarettes.

I think everyone should spend less on lawyers and put that towards education of kids.

Exactly, sometimes we need to acknowledge the terrible mistakes humans made and learn from them so we do not repeat them. So its ok to keep a bad building as a reminder but not a bad statue?
