Indigenous person here, he's absolutely right, and it's important that he is. This "handout" money never makes it to the people, it gets pissed away or laundered away by the bands. If "help" instead comes in the form of great paying jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities, the people get that money.
@BeauSlips knew the part of Mortensgaard in Ibsen's ROSMERSHOLM was the one for him!

#StillDoinCDs After hearing Beau Dixon (@BeauSlips) play @mcctoronto, I found his bandcamp page & also this copy of his 1998 CD ‘Detroit Folk.’ This soul-influenced alt-folk-funk-rock is particularly luminous, quite a discovery imho, with ‘Giving It Up’ as especially top-echelon.
Catherine O'Hara honors Macaulay Culkin at his Walk of Fame ceremony: "Thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once, but twice, to share in this happy occasion. I'm so proud of you." https://t.co/J2wXNVfbTv
Today I needed to feel good about myself. I needed reassurance that I’m still ‘on par’ with my gut instincts. So, I called five friends that I knew wouldn’t pick up. I feel better now.
A Trump supporter was seated next to an older woman on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The old woman, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger,
“What would you want to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the man. “How about how they stole the election in 2020 and Donald Trump should be president.”
“Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”
The man, visibly surprised by the old woman’s, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
To which the old woman replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss politics, when you don’t know shit?”
On September 18th, I will be joining an incredible group of performers for a night of song at the Festival Theatre in Stratford in support of PAL Stratford, which provides affordable housing and assistance to Canada's performing arts community.
