Where i struggle is that canada treats us, as indigenous people poorly, but also black people, and immigrants of color, has a huge problem with DV, and human trafficking, and won't solve homelessness or poverty. Canada is for the Rich only and mostly white men still

The juxtaposition of weight loss ads and fast food is making my head spin #Superbowl

I love how the NFL, a multi-billion dollar sports industry, with the jockest of all jocks doing metaphorical battle, always comes down the incredibly nerdy epistemological question of "How do we know a pass is a completion?"

Conflating patriotism, national identity, & civility as positives—w/out talk of colonialism or Canada’s ongoing role in harm—simplifies conversations that urgently need to happen.

I welcome dialogue.
But I'm not here to witness or entertain veiled attacks on people actively harmed by these systems.

While I speak from lived experience and our right to challenge these systems, this isn’t just about me.

Whether you’re aging, disabled, struggling financially, Jewish, Muslim, 2SLGBTQ+, neurodivergent, or part of any group that’s been racialized, stigmatized, or scapegoated—anyone can be othered.

Language like “they should be grateful to be here” functions as a dog whistle.
It subtly implies that some of us don’t truly belong—or that our right to speak out is conditional.

These attitudes need to be challenged.
Silence is complicity.

As Ukwehu·wé, we believe part of our responsibility on Turtle Island is to challenge harmful attitudes—especially from those with power and platforms.

Respect for these lands means respect for all people.
Gratitude doesn’t mean silence.
Civility shouldn’t be used to suppress discomfort.

The critique came from a host who, in another segment, strongly condemned Palestinian perspectives—without acknowledging Israeli state violence or referencing what many human rights orgs have described as acts of genocide.

On air, I were confronted with commentary that criticized “marginalized people” for being ungrateful to live in Canada and dismissed protest language like “death to Canada.” I pushed back.

Every Canada Day, I try not to get overwhelmed by dangerously empty messages wrapped in an adorable flag. I don’t hate Canada, per se—but I object to simplistic narratives that leave no room for the broader, harder truths of this young nation-state.

I think it has to do with the way we structure the show for syndication, but I’m not 100% sure

Why is Doug the Primier of Ontario? Male.

Lets just be clear that nasty backlash against the #MeToo movement got him the PC leadership and then onwards into elections.

Kiiwetinoong MPP Sol Mamakwa thrown out of Legislature for saying Ford government was spreading “untruths” about Bill 5.

That is considered unparliamentary language.

Canadian media is lock step backing Carney because his conservative ways are seen as being "grown up"?
