Missing and Murdered Women in Canada

CBC has a page documenting all the murdered and missing Aboriginal Women since the 1950's. Every decade, apart from the last sees more women murdered or missing. The highest counts are west of Saskatchewan with British Columbia having the highest.

What do we know of these provinces? They are governed by conservative parties that are pro-business. They are resource driven economies. Is there a link between these and racism? Does the kind of economy define the social attitudes?
