Canadian governments continually treat Indigenous title as a “policy issue” rather than a legal obligation and fundamental right. @rileyyesnomaybe.bsky.social asks: Why must Indigenous people fear for the protection of these rights with the arrival of every new government?

Bill 5 saying the quiet part out loud: when the government feels it has the appropriate conditions to justify bypassing First Nations rights, they do it. A reminder that “no” was never really an option.

It’s traumatizing to be trapped and it’s also traumatizing to be forcibly displaced—particularly by circumstances exasperated by a crisis you’ve fought generations to mitigate.

Slightly dated news, but just saw this article and felt my blood boil a bit. Remember in 2015 when northern reserves weren't sent enough ballots, so didn't get to vote then, either?

Yeah this liberal platform is very telling when it comes to Indigenous affairs. Vague promises to essentially not abandoned previous work but the only substantial funding is for « economic reconciliation » and resource extraction. Yeah yeah yeah

Canada going from « Cancel Canada Day! let’s reflect and wear orange shirts » to « elbows up!!! Full national swing » is disappointing, but not surprising whiplash.

This is disgusting all on its own but also exasperates me bc you say this and then wonder why so many Indigenous people here reject your ‘reconciliation’?

As someone from Thunder Bay—where big snows are bountiful—I can confirm that it’s worse in Toronto. The city has no proper infrastructure to deal with anything beyond a dusting.

The other day at a hockey game they began singing the US national anthem and my wife and me, as well as this other queer couple stayed seated and I thought we were on the same wavelength…and then they RIPPED out of their seats for the Canadian anthem. Oh…that’s not…sigh. Haha

Is there a term—I feel like it’s imposter syndrome adjacent—for the feeling, not that you don’t deserve successes but that you only get them because you are a deeply successful product of the colonial system? Colonial self-consciousness? Haha

I know this has been said but I’m just always gagged by how much CBC hates tenants. The whole segment yesterday abt “professional tenants”? “They know the names of all the forms! They know how to avoid having to see their landlord in court!” Yeah but it also seems like they know their rights??

I loved seeing this from
@rileyyesnomaybe.bsky.social
in the Star today. We never hear from actual adults who play actual sports and when you do hear from us, you can see very clearly the bigotry that is wrapped up in gender ""debates"" in sport.
