@DrCSTaylor @ALLI__LS Even the name of the chapter “New Nation” erases the rightful presence of the nationality that existed. It suggests that there was a need for the new, degrading the nationality already thriving.

@DrCSTaylor @ALLI__LS Facts can be factual without entirely being factual, right? The text is neglecting an important part of this historical (and present day) narrative — negligence that directly assists the prevalence of white supremacy within society.
Education is where it starts. Let’s fix it.

The truth is "Canadian nationalism" should never have been a goal, it was simply a way to avoid addressing the real objective: the oppression and assimilation of cultures that did/do not align with the white European perspective.  @DrCSTaylor @campbelllor

[Alli LS @ALLI__LS]

I have no way of knowing how presentation of this information will be in the future of this course. Regardless, this should not be taught without the acknowledgement of the genocide Canada has engaged in. Curriculum needs to be better. @UWaterloo @waterloohistory

[Alli LS @ALLI__LS]

The establishment of Canadian Nationality was not the creation of something new, but rather the erasure of something previously existing. This was not proclaimed in the text. @DrCSTaylor @campbelllor

[Alli LS @ALLI__LS]

The sentence structure in this conclusion mimics history; a brief acknowledgement, but then onto the white people. @DrCSTaylor @campbelllor

[Alli LS @ALLI__LS]

"The Nation as a whole"?? @DrCSTaylor @campbelllor

[Alli LS @ALLI__LS]

While the text briefly details experiences of Indigenous Peoples, the chapter focuses on the merging of English and French Nationalities, disregarding the attempted decimation of the nationalities that were already founded. @DrCSTaylor @campbelllor

[Alli LS @ALLI__LS]

This is presented in Chapter 2 of the textbook “The Peoples of Canada, A Post Confederation History” by J.M. Bumsted (Fourth Edition), that has been assigned to my UWaterloo 2021, HIST 254 course: “Canada Since 1867.”

@stephknudsen27 The night circus is one of my all time favourites. So eloquent.

@rebeccamcvicar @EmilyySams Omg I’m still not over how much I hated that book but still put myself through it

Therapy is a privilege. Let's talk about that. Throwing the word casually around demonstrates entitlement.
Therapy is expensive and inaccessible to most of the population in North America, especially the Black community. #arts130 @DrCSTaylor

@bethveganza @campbelllor I think the real question is, why do we have this (false) binary of 'white' vs everyone else? It continues to normalize white and whiteness as the default.

My suggestion: be explicit with naming the group(s) you are wanting to identify. And be clear why you're doing it.

As tensions continue to rise across North America, we must come together and show love and understanding for one another. We need to reject hate and hostility. We encourage you to speak up too, #UWaterloo.

Please continue to stay well and stay safe: https://t.co/ZCa2jJL8uc 💛🖤

We are already proper nouns.

Empires did not “nibble” at the coasts of Africa—they swallowed. Write your words carefully, as each word counts. It’s a pretty description, but it’s not accurate. “Nibble” is subtle. The history of colonization is not subtle.
