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.

"The separatist movement is a bit like Mr. Kenney’s big blue truck: a powerful machine, but he didn’t know how to handle it." Been waiting for someone to say this the way @daniparadis.bsky.social just did. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: Jason Kenney is trying to stop the separatists. But he deserves some blame for their rise in the first place

As premier, he gave vent to some of the grievances that now animate the movement

Thank you @daniparadis.bsky.social! Yes! Jason Kenney is now trying to use a limp garden hose connected to a tap with water restrictions on a dumpster fire for which he provided the fuel and the matches. Some folks see through the glow up. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

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%.
