If Canadians are serious about "Truth and Reconciliation", they should stop supporting Israel's livestreamed genocide of Palestinians. It's hard to take Canadians seriously when they can't even acknowledge the basic truth that from Turtle Island to Palestine, colonization is a crime.

When we finished our podcast Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's in 2022, I knew that I wasn’t done with the story. Even though we had spent a year investigating my dad's experience at the St. Michael's Indian Residential School and uncovered a staggering level of abuse, the story felt unfinished.
