As an immigrant, I’m sick and tired of being valued for my “contribution to the economy.” I’m poor. My contribution to the economy is dismal, does that mean that i’m not a valuable member of society?

They’re not racist, they’re just cherry-picking numbers to justify implementing policies that will largely affect racialized migrants. There is no racism in that! Now, go ahead and vote yes to the five while still feeling like there’s no single racist bone in your body—it’s simple math.

The TRC handed the government a roadmap that two successive governments have chosen to essentially discard. The failure to implement the Calls-to-Action - notably in areas of health and "justice", but literally every section of the report - is unjustifiable and sure appears to be intentional.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and Canada has a lot of work to do. In some ways, we’re actually backsliding right now -- from residential school denial to rights-busting "national building projects." We gotta do a better job of defending and respecting Indigenous rights:
