#Canada’s most favoured Premier, rose in the Legislature and was met by #Conservative #MLARedRiverNorth ridiculing #Indigenous people not being allowed to #vote in #Canada as late as 1960. Shame! #TruthAndReconcilation #DEI #EqualityForAll #CanadaStrong
I didn't post anything about Truth and Reconciliation Day yesterday as I was sick and not near my computer (bummed me out so much, I was going to go attend the pipe ceremony and powwow downtown.) - Here's some good reading though. #truthandreconcilation
Picture of the Memorial Cloth at ceremony at Parliament Hill, National Truth & Reconcilation Day, Ottawa, Sept 30th, 2025
The ceremony on Parliament Hill in Ottawa for #TruthandReconcilation and #OrangeShirtDay was very moving & profound. They walked the over 60 metre memorial cloth for all the children who didn't home home (over 4,000 names so far) through the crowd while Deedee Austin performed "Buried Truth".
On the Day of Truth & Reconciliation, & as far right 🇨🇦ians are trying to cause rifts in our country, it’s important to remember how we got here. How we became 🇨🇦.

“Since the dawn of the Canadian state, Canada has treated Indigenous people like children, as if we are not able to make decisions for ourselves – not in education, in health care or how we care for our children.” - Tanya Talaga #truthandreconcilation #Orange www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Calgary Board of Education Retains Sir John A. Macdonald School Name Grey block background with photo of statue of john a MacDonald with red paint on it and protesters standing in front with backs turned. Top grey box states Calgary Board of Education Retains Sir John A. Macdonald School Name Middle red box states John a Macdonald facts! Calgary Board of Education Retains Sir John A. Macdonald School Name John A Macdonald Facts! MacDonald was a leader in the creation of British North America Act (1867). Included in section 91 is item #24 which legislates federal jurisdiction over “Indians, and Lands reserved for the Indians” (source link). This action of unilaterally creating federal jurisdiction over Indigenous Peoples goes against treaties negotiated between Indigenous Nations and the Crown, who negotiated being inbeing in nation-to-nation relations with each other, not one nation controlling and subjugating others.

Stating they are ‘committed to reconciliation through education’ do they teach the real stories of SJAM?

Calgary Board of Education Retains Sir John A. Macdonald School Name John a Macdonald fact! MacDonald authorized the pass system, which required First Nations to obtain permission from their Indian agent to leave their reserve. His government also criminalized powwows and potlatches. Both policies would persist well into the 20th century.

I’m going to leave that up to Palestinians. It’s not even my place to suggest. All I know is that without Justice there can be no Peace. The path to a lasting peace has precedent. #FreePalestine #CeaseFire #TruthAndReconcilation
Prosecute war criminals on both sides, disarm militias and gangs on both sides, hold elections for a transitional government, build a #TruthAndReconcilation process and memorialize it with a new constitutional process and internationally monitored elections.
... removing them from the care of their parents and extinguishing their language and culture in a slow-moving campaign of genocide. We wear the symbolic garment today in a gesture in support of #TruthAndReconcilation.
The CFL initiatives for #TruthAndReconcilation are pretty cool. Canada (and the US, which barely acknowledges it) can never repay the moral debt of what happened in the residential schools, but acknowledging it and working with indigenous communities to get the message out is important.
