Fear and anger. Canadians are on a literal war footing so they are willing to accept some really ugly things in the short term. The govt and the media have convinced Canadians that this is what "sovereignty" looks like regardless of the fact the industry in this country is mostly foreign owned.

Incredible piece by Justin Ling in Toronto Star detailing Carney's concentration of power in the PMO. Also a portrait of doubling down on the outdated conservative neoliberalism that got us here. As Matthew Remski said, Carney is Thatcher, just more likeable. archive.ph/rny4a #cdnpoli

The story behind Orange Shirt Day
Orange shirt day was created by Phillish Webstad of Stswecemʼc Xgetʼtem First Nation. "I went to Mission for one school year in 1973/74. I had just turned 6 years old. I lived with my grandmother on the Dog Creek reserve. We never had very much money, but somehow my granny managed to buy me a new outfit to go to Mission school. I remember going to Robinson's store and picking out a shiny orange shirt. It had string laced up in front, and was so bright and exiting - just like I felt to be going to school! When I got to the Mission, they stripped me, and took away my clothes, including the orange shirt! I never wore it again. I didn't understand why they wouldn't give it back to me, it was mine! The color orange has always reminded me of that and how my feelings didn't matter, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth nothing. All of us little children were crying and no one cared"

The intention for the day of remembrance is to bring awareness, respect, and education to the issue of residential schools and colonialism. The 30th of September was chosen because it was the day that, for generations, Indigenous children were taken from their homes and forced into the schools.

Canadian centrists who are terrified of Trump are behaving exactly like conservatives. Nothing matters but their fear, which they'll use to justify absolutely anything, no matter how harmful. It's been sickening to see not only how easy people are to manipulate, but how much they actively enjoy it.

There is a straight line between Carney govt’s re-writing of SJAM history that purposefully ignores systemic Indigenous racism and ignoring residential school denialism (wasn’t included in the anti-hate bill) and anti-Indigenous hate. This is how the state tacitly weaponizes hate/approves violence
