Indigenous livelihood should be prioritized over @Styrolution plans for business as usual. Indigenous community has existed here long before Chemical Valley. Canadians share the responsibility to hold these invasive industries accountable for the sake of all future generations.

My people were genocided by the millions. We were displaced from our lands, waters — blockaded on reservations as they slaughtered and burned animals, forests, lifeways, us. I don’t feel ownership over genocide, I feel a want for it to never, ever happen again. Free Palestine.
