Alert to Canadian Academics: The parliamentary committee report on criteria for grants (i.e. EDI) is out. It’s not good. So not a time to get too comfortable with how things are going here compared to elsewhere. Need to push back on this. EDI makes for better science. It’s not a tradeoff

Audubon's work on conservation was also fraught. Audubon’s research benefited from information & specimens collected by enslaved Black men/Indigenous people. Instead of recognizing their contributions, he referred to them as “hands” traveling along with white men. theconversation.com/american-env...

American environmentalism’s racist roots have shaped global thinking about conservation
US ideas about conservation center on walling off land from use. That approach often means expelling Indigenous and other poor people who may be its most effective caretakers.

And the final results are in. Orr and Maloney in a blowout, with Orr on more than half the ballots cast — an impressive result on a crowded ballot, even in a byelection context. ABC gets around 13% of the vote, slightly ahead of how Vision did in the 2017 byelection when they were in power.

This! Research shows that protests 1) raise awareness, 2) empower people (especially the disadvantaged), and 3) exert pressure on elites. Anyone saying they don’t work is unfamiliar with the research and the history of movement building.

As infuriating and abhorrent as this is, it's standard colonizer violence, which colonizer laws and doctrines will always work to justify. How do colonizers come to terms with being treated as they've treated others? It must involve historical honesty and restitution.
