For those of you, like me, who will not be celebrating the upcoming nationalist holiday— I thought a thread of anti-Canada Day / Indigenous-centred alternatives for the day could be a good resource!

Here's what I have so far. Feel free to add :)

Toronto is next. This is fucking terrifying.

[Michelle Cyca @michellecyca]

disheartening to see candidates who worked so hard on engaged, thoughtful, progressive campaigns crushed by a bland, largely faceless billionaire-backed group who ran on a fear-mongering platform stoking hatred against the poor.

Vancouverites are really so terrified of homeless people that they will elect a fascist government just to avoid having to look at them. Wild.

When people ask me what I mean about wanting mutual aid a lot more than I want more self-care, this is (part of) what I mean:

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

A 66-year-old quadriplegic man was living a full & happy life because of the home care he received.

But due to staffing issues, his home care supports were cut...stripping away his dignity & autonomy.

Now, he's pursuing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).

We have lost our way.

Omicron continues to mutate and produce new strains that have been shown to better evade immunity with the potential to drive new COVID waves. https://t.co/PsJ6vTgp9q

From supercharged storms, to wildfires, to heatwaves, to droughts the climate crisis is all around us.

How many more 'historics' before we address the problem? #ActOnClimate

It’s been a year since @arunazehra, @drchatakmatak and I wrote the piece on Brown mutuality regarding the cultural appropriation of Caribbean culture and Lilly Singh and we’re still dealing with this mess.

[Darrell Gerohn Baksh 🇨🇦🇹🇹 @drchatakmatak]

Ughhh, how and why is she even an "authority" on Carnival culture?

And in case you missed my critique with @rypersadie & @arunazehra: https://t.co/zZl6TGV5Sr

I’m gonna need y’all to have the same energy for direct action and indigenous frontlines that y’all had for climate strike.
