@PoggiAlison Hello Allison, I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom at a young age and not single day goes by without thinking about her. Sending you love ❤️
A B.C. First Nation, the Penelakut Tribe, has found more than 160 unmarked graves at the site of the former Kuper Island Residential School.
If you think this is just "history," know that today, 40% of all Indigenous People in Canada's prisons are Residential School Survivors.
THIS WILL LIKELY MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE SAID.
Last week, the remains of 215 children were found at a former residential school. They were all victims of racism.
A few days ago, 4 people were murdered in yet another act of racism.
Keep reading. (1/10)
This is for 215 Indigenous children, and thousands more, whose lives were stolen.
This is for the families and communities they were taken from.
This is for the children of today, may we teach them the truth and promise them a brighter future.

peel region has the highest number of new weekly covid cases. it is near the bottom in vaccine access. and workers are still being asked to be essential without paid sick leave for them as human beings.
this is systemic discrimination in motion.
While Walmart refuses to raise its $11 minimum wage, Alice Walton had no problem purchasing a $500 million private art collection, buying a $25 million 2-floor Park Avenue condo with 52 windows and acquiring a $22 million 4,400-acre Texas ranch. Something is very wrong here.
Walmart, the largest employer in America, is owned by the richest family in America. Their wealth has gone up $50 billion during the pandemic, and they spend millions on themselves. But the company they own starts workers off at $11 an hour. That is outrageous.
