No, it's not as bad as it is in the US, but using the USA as a metric for shootings is a pretty poor choice IMO.
And this organization was founded in the USA BECAUSE of the metric of shootings. It's not an issue worthy of debate in Canada because it's not a problem.

I would sooner support a 'Native Lives Matter' organization because it IS an actual issue in Canada. Organizations like BLM in Canada are just drawing focus away from the actual issues in Canada.
