It’s actually really surprised me that people don’t find it interesting that so much of this is about COVID and “old” Canada (meaning monoculture and mostly white)who found legitimacy in new and historical grievances to the extent we have to vote on it.

My company - we do First Nations data - crunched the numbers on gender and band governance. One big takeaway, all female band governments do more than 50% better than all male band governments. Details here: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
Bar chart titled "All-women councils raise the highest own-source share," showing median own-source revenue as a share of total revenue by council composition across 638 First Nations. All-women councils (22 nations) are highest at 31.3%, mixed councils (466 nations) sit at 21.1%, and all-men councils (38 nations) are lowest at 19.9%.

Just two dudes happy they get to disregard an Indigenous woman’s work out loud now. (Tagaq already has an Order of Canada from 2016)
Jonathan Kay shares the lyrics of Tanya Tagaq’s song colonizer in a mocking way. Jason Kenney tweets about Tanya Tagaq sarcastically suggesting she gets the order of Canada.

Poilievre said this in his recent interview with Paul Wells, and received *zero* pushback. It sure would be nice if the folks interviewing him had some modicum of interest (and expertise) in the details around energy markets and policy. (You'll note Poilievre is *still* blaming Canada here)
