ACK. Sending a complaint to the BBC… They've made a major error in their copy here:
Carney revealed it on Friday during his first speech as prime minister when he hearkened back - with a shiny polish - to the origins of this former colony. He hailed "the wonder of a country built on the bedrock of three peoples: indigenous, French and British".
See it?
That should say three peoples: “Indigenous, French and British".
Indigenous should ALWAYS be capitalized when referring to the people who have lived in this country for millennia before colonial powers came.
