They should consider the implications of Tsilhqot’in v. Rex 2014 - no more Terra nullius, no more colonial title. They show Incredibly poor epistemological positioning. Ugh.

Classic anti-democratic move: ridicule, censor, stop journalists. Especially women : fascism demands rigid gender roles & submission to authority. I ❤️ Rachel Gilmore. CTV, you should be ashamed.

The hidden history of a predatory principal at a Manitoba residential school | CBC News The Truth and Reconciliation Commission heard very little about Agnes Benn, a teen girl who died near a Manitoba residential school in 1930, and the multiple sex abuse charges faced by the school's pr...

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Canada is built on the violent oppression and harm of Indigenous Peoples. No reconciliation without truth. Residential “schools” were internment camps.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.
Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

Kelowna's Trans Day of Visibility counters hate with love, education The Transgender Day of Visibility event will be held on March 31, at the Laurel Packinghouse

“It is important for those who do not understand biology — specifically differences in sexual development — to recognize that a lack of comprehension does not mean that people who are gender diverse do not exist or are not natural.”

Lay off Carney's kid. Stop being a bunch of bullies and jerks.
