@usnehal The imposter syndrome, in my experience, is a trauma response from assimilating into a culture (ie medical, academic). Needing to fit in to attain unattainable perfection & certainty requires a change in identity and repression of some personal traits. #assimilationtrauma

Today is #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay. Could we honour our commitment to truth and reconciliation by actually turning #UNDRIP into enforceable law in this land? Make right the wrongs of white supremacy. Please show that this is more than just lip service. @MinJusticeEn #canpoli

@louiegiglio Please read @judydominick ‘s recent advice for white Christian leaders who are trying to speak. Hope it blesses you and your followers. Thank you for being willing to come forward & apologize & own this mess of #whiteblessing . God can do a lot with a broken and contrite heart

@pumpkinface22 @CineplexMovies Seems like they very quietly announced that the offer would only be for a week. Even though originally they said they didn’t know how long they would offer it for (which made it seem at least longer than a week!)

@salsaveggie @CineplexMovies Green book is frequently used as an example of a white Savior movie (A Story about race told from a white perspective that reinforces the idea that all you need are ”good white people”). Please google Seth Meyers white Savior to see a comedic explanation of what that means

@cbcnewsbc @raffertybaker Calling the police is NOT a safe option for black and indigenous folks who are routinely brutalized, murdered, and unjustly treated by the police... *salt in the wound* please let perspectives of people of colour lead the way

“...if Christ Himself walked through these doors, [teaching] that we should love our neighbor and our enemy, that we should welcome the stranger, that we should fight for the least of us…He would be maligned as a radical and rejected…” Amen.

Notice how those in support of CGL never mention Delgamuukw. While those in support of Wet'suwet'en repeatedly cite this as foundational for their solidarity with the Hereditary Chiefs. @JustinTrudeau, @jjhorgan, & CGL at least respond to that?
