No matter what horse you had in this race a 33% voter turnout means Ontario lost tonight. Every teacher, student, essential & front line worker lost tonight. Democracy lost tonight. Acountability & leadership lost tonight. Caring lost tonight.
Marieval Indian Residential School was closed in 1997.
Any individual who says “this was in the past” and “get over it” needs to realize that 1997 was just 24 years ago. Which in the grand scheme of things isn’t long ago.
Have some compassion.
And, if you can’t be quiet.
If Canada cares, we’ll lower our flags. We’ll have a national week of mourning. We’ll stop fighting Residential School Survivors in court. We’ll act on Truth & Reconciliation.
If Canada cares, we’ll accept this genocide isn’t just our past, but our present too.
#215children
Last week it was discovered that they are forcibly putting in IUDs into Native kids under 10, this week they discovered 215 bodies of Native kids under a school. These are issues that are person to me and so many of us.
It's so dangerous just being a Native child.
