In light of Jean Chrétien's most recent denialist comments - story to come, basically he downplays the harm of the IRS system - I went down the rabbit hole researching how far Indigenous leaders lobbied him, as Minister of Indian Affairs in the 1960s and 1970s, to close the system 🧵

There's a point, well below a billion dollars, where the amount of money you have lets you rid yourself of anyone who can be a check on your worst impulses, and replace them with people who tell you those worst impulses are somehow valorous. Rare is the billionaire with someone to tell them "no."

Agnes Macphail was a committed social democrat and Canada’s first woman elected to Parliament.
