I think I would be more inclined to join the pretending conversation if there was just as much passion and intensity around how to resurge grounded citizenship practices as much as there was to clock fakes. Its not an either or— but I do feel there is an imbalance as of yet.

Becoming embarrassingly apparent than many people in this country have no idea what a protest is, and assume it should operate like a parade with a pre-approved route and permission from authorities.

Shameful, as always.

I see people discussing the difficulty of interacting with people who are committed to misunderstanding you, but what about people who are convinced they understand and YOU are misunderstanding.

Hearing news Canada’s former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney is dead. He will forever be remembered by Indigenous people as the monster who was Prime Minister when Canada deployed the largest military force to ever confront Indigenous people in the history of North America.
