Writing about Edward Horne forces author to ‘imagine the unimaginable’

Author Kathleen Lippa reads from her new book, “Arctic Predator: The Crimes of Edward Horne Against Children in Canada’s North,” during a book launch Tuesday evening in an Ottawa bookstore. Lippa, who worked as a journalist in Iqaluit in the early 2000s, learned about Horne’s crimes and wrote the book because she said Canadians needed to learn more about their “Arctic brothers and sisters.” Horne was a school teacher and principal in several Nunavut communities during the 1970s until the mid-1980s.

    Yes, I agree with what you are doing as long as it is legal.
    Why are you not mentioning the sexual abuse of young Inuit people?
    I know for a fact you know about this when you worked in Iqaluit.
    Sadly there are many sexual offenders & pedophiles in Nunavut off all races.

      If anyone in Canada wishes to make an accusation of sexual assault then I suggest you go
      to the RCMP.
      Years ago when I worked in Nunavut a lot of people made accusations against transient
      workers which were false.
      No one in the community said anything about native men assaulting native women which
      we’re proved true by their pregnancies.
      If Kathleen can write a book so can anyone else.
