On this day I’m thinking of all residential school survivors - my aunties and uncles and grandparents and in particular but also Phyllis Webstad, the founder of the Orange Shirt Society whose memoir I wrote the foreword for - check it out!

Grateful for @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social persistence in speaking truth. Wish we would listen/learn/change "My point: emergencies are always the justification for taking Indigenous lands. So, I wasn’t surprised to see fed govt’s new BillC-39, the Building🇨🇦Strong Act, suddenly proposed in Parliament"

winnipegfreepress.com

Opinion: Opinion: Building Canada Strong Act just another way of sidestepping Indigenous rights

In 1846, Britain faced an emergency influenced by the Irish famine, so leaders repealed the country’s “Corn Laws” and restrictions on imported food and grain, transitioning to a system of free trade.

I totally agree with Niigaan Sinclair @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social regarding the constant repetition in the media of the so-called problem with the current Governor General Mary Simon by not being trilingual in her vice-regal position. I noticed it too.
