A dithered black and white illustration of an indigenous woman, seen from behind, with long black hair blowing in the wind, wearing a white fur parka and holding a feather in the air with her left hand. she stands in front of a large bonfire, behind which is a locomotive with a canadian flag draped on its front. "SHUT DOWN CANADA" is written in bold italic sans-serif text.

Five years ago (to the day) i posted this illustration i made with my friend Kat. I know canada's in a trade war, and the trade war sucks, but canada remains a settler-colonial society. the demand for indigenous sovereignty at the core of the #shutdowncanada protests in 2020 still stands ✍️

#Reconciliation is empty without #ReconciliACTION.

This can’t be the relationship we accept between RCMP and First Nations in 2021.

Indigenous warriors continue to hold a rail blockade at Diamond #Manitoba in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en land defenders. #Wetsuweten #ShutDownCanada #Alloutforwedzinkwa

"What the Wet’suwet’en are doing is protecting their lands"

We're all coping with #Colonialism differently. We come from different nations, communities, families, & backgrounds.

That we respond differently to genocidal violence does not mean we are "divided." #ShutDownCanada is happening with collective strength & non-violence.

Settlers shocked at #ShutDownCanada:

How long did you think you could continue to violently oppress #Indigenous people before they rose up again?

How long did you think your fragile economy could be precariously balanced on that oppression?

I mean, you had fair warning...
