Today, the Canadian parliament unanimously passed a motion to recognize May 18th as Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day.
On this very important day, Canada becomes the first national parliament in the world to recognize May 18th of each year as Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day.
Remembering with sadness, the 1000s of innocent men, women and children who were massacred by the banks of Nandikadal Lagoon at the end of the war in SriLka. #Mullivaikkal#TamilDayofRemembrance
Here is a poem by Tamil poet Nillanthan marking the event. Translated by me.

Sir John A. Macdonald Public School in Pickering will be renamed Biidassige Mandamin Public School after the Anishinaabe Elder, advocate for water protection & residential school survivor. Well done, @DDSBSchools. This is a step in the right direction.

The following quote from Audre Lorde reminds me of a conversation I had in which a leader stated, “ I forget that I am not of the dominant culture until others remind me.” Who are you reminding that they are ‘other’ by your reactions to them? Are you tone policing? Why? #Reflect

Indigenous children make up 7.7% of our child population but account for over 52% of all children in foster care. Please read that again!
