September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. Today is a time to raise awareness of the ongoing impacts of residential schools and remember the children who never came home. How are you honouring the day?

This is foul. A reader reached out and told me the first google result when you search "kamloops unmarked graves discovery" is residential school denial. I did the search myself, and I found the same thing. The first non-sponsored result is the Fraser Institute's residential school denial.

Google search result for "kamloops unmarked graves discovery" has, as its first non-sponsored post, a publication from the Fraser Institute.

It reads: "No evidence of 'mass graves' or 'genocide' in residential ..."

"Feb 12, 2024 — ... Kamloops narrative are either false or highly exaggerated. No unmarked graves have been discovered at Kamloops or elsewhere-not one. As of ... Read more"

Another screenshot shows the only result before the Fraser Institute result is a sponsored post from Angus Reid, affirming that the Fraser Institute result is the first non-sponsored one.

Screenshot shows the intial response Google provides to the search "kamloops unmarked graves discovery"

All you can see on this first screenshot is the AI overview (barf) and the sponsored result from Angus Reid. However, as the other screenshots show, that Angus Reid result is followed by the first non-sponsored result: residential school denial from the Fraser Institute.

Rebel News is still selling t-shirts mocking the rape and murder of Indigenous children. This is the kind of racism that is common place in Canada. Not only can you promote Residential School denialism but you can profit from it youtu.be/e0WhWOz7NSs?...

On this national day of reconciliation we remember that the fundamental journey in Canada is between Indigenous and settler. We must learn to walk together for a better shared future.

I’ve seen this piece of art at the McMichael gallery, it struck me then as it does now, how giving and selflessly dedicated to community Indigenous people are, and how settlers just take without giving back, to this day. Read this short 🧵 today, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation w/ alt text

A sculpture in an encased display box of a hand placed palm down on a white surface, fingers slightly spread out. An Inuk person is emerging from the wrist holding a kudlik, a traditional, crescent-shaped stone oil lamp that provides essential heat, light, a way to cook food, melt snow for drinking water, and dry skin clothing.

Today is Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada. We remember those we have lost. We honor those taken from us by the residential school system and we honor those who survived, their families and communities. We will never forget and we will carry them with us.

These sweeping statements about more work being like software engineering that people realize and “all service work can be automated” immediately hits me as 1) a claim that can be tested and 2) one that hasn’t been sufficiently tested. But they all just blithely accept it.

Artist Georgia O'Keeffe (1887 – 1986) and friend on the patio of her Ghost Ranch, New Mexico home, 1939. Photo by John Candelario

Artist Georgia O'Keeffe (1887 – 1986) posing with a human skull replica on the patio of her Ghost Ranch, New Mexico home, 1939. Dressed in white, Ms. O’Keeffe is bemusedly smiling at the skull which is resting atop a fence post in front of the rustic home.

O'Keeffe was a most famously a modernist painter and draftswoman whose career spanned seven decades, and whose work remained largely independent of major art movements.

Called the "Mother of American modernism", O'Keeffe gained international recognition for her paintings of natural forms, particularly flowers and desert-inspired landscapes, which were often drawn from and related to places and environments in which she lived.

O'Keeffe was well-known for incorporating bones and skulls into her paintings after she first visited New Mexico in 1929. She found the bones beautiful and saw them as symbolic of the desert's keen liveliness, not death. She would often ship animal bones she found in the desert back to her studio in New York to paint.

Great column. It really is the most transparent level of gov't (police notwithstanding). Things are tight. I often get comments like "city hall is corrupt" - well, show me where? It has the most openness, the most public eyes on it. Other levels, far less transparency (looking at you, Ontario)
