WOW. #DrumForTheChildren was an overwhelming success. The people of @Tkemlups lift our hands and say Kukwstéc-kucw! (On behalf of all of us, thank you) #NDTR #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation #TRCCanada

Today is the 1st National Day for Truth & Reconciliation and most importantly, Orange Shirt Day.

It is an opportunity for all to reflect on the truth of Canada’s history & the ongoing intergenerational trauma caused by Indian Residential Schools.

Stand with us for hope&change.

We are not here for reconciliation.

We are here for the continued liberation of our own peoples.

And we do not need colonialism, and its systems, to do that.

[archive appreciator @M_Gouldhawke]

As people before me have said, you can't reconcile a relationship that was never good in the first place. But if you were trying to create a new kind of relationship that is good, the first step would be to stop causing harm, and this is a first step Canada isn't willing to take.

1/ On this inaugural #NationalDayforTruthAndReconciliation, I’ll share part of my story: Both my parents attended Institutions of Assimilation and #Genocide. They survived but never ever spoke about it. My brothers Robert, Ronald & Charles attended the same institution as my dad.

The Port of Vancouver is proposing to double the size of the shipping terminal in the Fraser estuary, a critical habitat for endangered Southern Resident orcas. Take action with Patagonia grantee @Raincoast to defend the region's at-risk wildlife from this destructive project.

“Because it is on Indigenous land, the project is relatively free from city constraints.
As a result, planners are looking at providing parking for only 10% of the apartments, far below the usual minimum.”

Wishing a special happy birthday to @IvankaTrump!

The true embodiment of intellect, elegance, and poise. Her efforts to prompt economic empowerment in the country, and all over the world, are truly unparalleled.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

So today is Halloween. I don’t celebrate it back home, but I thought I might give it a try.
And apparently when it comes to scaring a bunch of angry climate crisis deniers - I don’t even have to dress up!! #trickortreat
