Judging from this election you really couldn't tell that thousands of unmarked graves of Indigenous children were found this summer or that hundreds of people died in a heat wave or that we're in month 18 of a pandemic that's killed 50,000 people in Canada.
Even now as we do what we have to protect to the land from pipelines, mines, and border walls we're seen a criminals. Just because we want clean water, and our lands and intact.
When colonizers first came to "the Americas" it was so well maintained by the indigenous population the colonizers called it paradise. Since then they've taken away our ability to protect the land and done everything in their power to turn that paradise into a burning hellscape.
Canadians are shocked when 215 Indigenous kids are found in a secret grave. Canadians are shocked when a Muslim family is mowed down by an Islamophobe.
Canadians are shocked because they have bought into the myth that Canada is racism free.
Canada was built on racism.
Today in Canadian Parliament
I asked Justin Trudeau to end legal actions against Indigenous kids and survivors of genocidal residential schools
He refused to commit
First Nations should not be paying to uncover the graves at residential schools. The government should cease spending millions to fight residential school survivors in court and pay to check all institutions of genocide.
1/ My son is “white passing”. Today in class they had someone talk about anti-indigenous and anti-blackness in class. The guy asked if anyone was native, my son did not raise his hand in a class full of Caucasian kids.
@maddie_males I have been using Wildcraft products since late September! I haven’t gotten any acne from wearing a mask but I do still get some hormonal acne around my jawline. It’s small batch in TO and is all natural!
