Understand that Vancouver is becoming a city for the old, by the old
Young people who want to move out of parents home? fuck off
Young families who need daycare because both parents have to work to pay rent? fuck off
This is a city of grumpy retirees. We need to fight back

No coincidence that the #KamloopsIndianResidentialSchool was the largest in Canada & the Secwepemc Territory in which it was built is the largest Unceded Indigenous Territory in so-called BC. The wealth they continue to steal from our lands allows Canada to continue the Genocide
I'm currently studying for my Canadian citizenship test (don't even get me started), but I think Canadians really need to know the kinds of rhetoric shared with newcomers. The section on residential schools is a paragraph long and describes them as "schools to educate".🧵
