I hate it here

It goes without saying that she said a lot of anti-First Nations stuff in the same speech, including no history or civilization until the white man saved us and that we were cannibals…

These fires are getting closer to S'ólh Téméxw each year. Please, stay safe out there.

This is so early. Stay safe out there.

Hi, we have a healthcare system stretched to its breaking point and a huge shortage of nurses. Is there any way we can make it worse?

This week has included (if you start last Thursday, which, yes, I know is awkward, I’m dealing with it, you can to), a pinched nerve, some angry family drama which will need to be dealt with, and, this morning, a job offer from a former stà:xwelh, which almost made me tear up.

A legacy needs to be maintained, obviously

Four and half hour drive through beautiful, northern BC, yesterday, on my way to BCTF zone meetings, and the ONLY animal I saw was a single cow.

Thread

Can’t do a “Liking an American team as a Foreign National” declaration as the US charges an astronomical filing fee.

Very golden calf coded here.

Canadian legal question: what's deadline for choosing whether we are Maple Leafs or Canadiens fans? The declaration form's confusing.‬ I missed the west coast exemption deadline.

Thread

Happy 150th birthday to the Indian Act from all us bad, little, Indian problems!

The Liberals and Conservatives have always been interchangeable.

BC NDP is so convinced they have the right to put a pause on my inherent, Indigenous rights, they are making it a confidence vote. youtu.be/23dbjvlPxEg?...

Pretty much

This seems like it should be concerning.

The religious wars were an actual thing. I can’t help but wonder if we are heading down that road again.

This is in Kitimat, for those who TL;DR. BC seems ok with cutting all this environmental protection.

I hate it here

Carney continues to refuse to condemn Trump’s threats.

This is beyond horrific.

Already. Stay safe out there.

Their argument is horrific.

This is so neat!

Report cards* are due tomorrow. Not quite done. Fortunately, I only have a few anecdotals left to write but I am in the randomly doom scrolling stage of report card writing. *supposed to call them learning updates now. Slowly getting there but stà:xwelh & their parents still call ‘em report cards.🤔

In many ways, this is worse than amending the law to take away my rights. This is BC saying they have the right and intention to put a pause on my inherent, Indigenous rights.

This! And the rest of the thread but mostly, this!

Meanwhile, Canada triples down on oil and gas…

💯 this!

‪It’s March 31st! Happy #NationalIndigenousLanguagesDay! Canada and residential schools taught my Grandpa it would be too dangerous to teach me our language. No traditional language was ever offered to me in school, indeed I think it was discouraged. 1/2

Public education is inherently political.

I hate it here.

Huh. I can’t even.

A good thread of good questions.

I keep forgetting how good Quest for Fire is. I would love to read the novel it’s based on but can’t find a copy, for less than $85 USD, on Biblio. C’est la vie, I guess. I’d swear I had a copy that I bought back in the nineties after I first saw the film but who knows what became of it.

Thread. This is a very concerning trend.

It’s useful to remember that the Liberal Party and Conservative Party are essentially interchangeable and have been for much of the history of so-called Canada. This move is horrific.

*long, tired sigh* My understanding is they’re being helped by CSIS now.
