I'm prepared to go to jail over this.

My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life.

My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma.

I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development.

I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child.

I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings.

Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences.

No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics.

The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate.

The path forward is empathy for past attendees.
The path forward is truth based on facts.
The path forward is real conversations.
The path forward is to lean into complexity.

If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations.

If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.

Country music is the ‘hot, steaming garbage’ genre of music and the @CFL’s continued obsession with it is both puzzling and frustrating as a fan.

Can anyone give examples from the last few decades where a kicker’s leg has been grievously injured during contact? Seems like bubble wrapping them by way of rule is just hysteria #Bombers

@calgaryherald ORRR, maybe just pay people a livable wage? IDK just spitballing, nothing wrong with immigration but the "labour shortage" is manufactured by greedy corporations

Let’s pause today to recognize the greatest moment in bowling history, which occurred when Pete Weber won the 2012 U.S. Open and was so impressed with himself that he lost his goddamn mind.

Taysom Hill has 112 rushing yards, 3 rushing TD’s, a passing TD, a fumble recovery on a punt return, and 3 kickoff returns for over 50 yards.. As a backup QB. (Last NO QB with 3 rsh TD and 1 pass TD was Archie)

The inflation we are now experiencing is not due to wage gains from excessive worker power. It is due to profit gains from excessive CORPORATE power.

Corporations are raising prices higher than their increasing costs – and raking in record profits under the cover of inflation.

@calgarytransit How about 4-car trains instead? Took 45 mins to travel the length of 7 Ave yesterday and hundreds of people were not able to board at centre and city hall stations.

@ColinRandel @FriedgeHNIC Its not a delayed offside, its a tag up offside. Theres a massive difference and the reason why the goal counted and the reason for the article. Heres more clarification right from the NHL https://t.co/su1oFgOtwc
