September 30th is National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. As we approach this day, how can we avoid symbolic performances of reconciliation and equip ourselves to work toward transformative change? Check out these resources and more on our website: yellowheadinstitute.org. Linked in bio.
The image shows a graffiti-covered wall in the background. Title text in white text on black highlight reads: "Yellowhead Resources to Prepare for National Day for Truth & Reconciliation." Subtitle reads: "How can we avoid symbolic performances of reconciliation and equip ourselves to work toward transformative change?" The Yellowhead logo is displayed. In the bottom right corner of the screen, three arrows are displayed that indicate to scroll.  A red text box at the top reads: "Education Resources". Title text reads: "How Do You Like Your Reconciliation?" A venn diagram demonstrates 4 overlapping circles. The circles include 1. Symbolic: Centres "efforts" by Canadians. 2. Easy: Low-hanging fruit, quick wins. 3. Transformative: Centres Indigenous self-determination, 4. Impactful: Empowers Indigenous peoples.  Overlapping with Symbolic, easy, and impactful is: renaming Overlapping with symbolic and impactful is: contrition: accountability + apology.  Overlapping with Easy, impactful: funding, data transparency, sharing power.  Overlapping with easy, impactful, and transformative: non-existent.  Overlapping with impactful and transformative: justice for Indigenous peoples, land back.  Overlapping with easy and transformative: Settler fantasy.  Overlapping with symbolic and easy is: exploitative, performative "allyship", and inclusion.  A dotted line separates the diagram and text that reads: "As we approach National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, consider where the actions you’re taking or observing fall according to this diagram. Are they transformative, impactful, symbolic, easy or somewhere in-between?" A yellow text box reads: "Map / Education Resource". Title text reads: "The Yellowhead Treaty Map" A star designed by Michelle Sound is displayed. Next to it, text reads: "Covering every treaty since 1763, the Treaty Map depicts three eras of Treaty Making in Canada, Pre-Confederation, Confederation, and "modern". Each treaty contains descriptions on the context, terms, negotiation, and implementation of the treaty." A yellow text box contains the URL: treatymap.yellowheadinstitute.org.  A dotted line separates text at the bottom that reads: "When you recite a land acknowledgement, are you actually engaging with what it means to occupy stolen land? Are you encouraging your audience to learn about how the territories you live on were dispossessed and remain contested?" A red text box reads: "Online course." Title text reads: "Land Back Online."  A graphic of a desktop is displayed, which contains artwork by Julie Flett featured in the Land Back report and curriculum. Text reads: "This free open access online course examines the ways Canada dispossesses Indigenous people of the land - and the strategies communities are using to get it back." A red bubble contains the URL: learnonline.yellowheadinstitute.org. A dotted line separates text at the bottom that reads: "What does land back mean in the context of this moment in Canada? Land has always been at the centre of conflict between Indigenous people and Canadians. So, what could a just future look like?" The Yellowhead logo is displayed at the bottom of the image.

With the Tylenol bullshit I’m reminded that women have always been the scapegoat.

Remember, they didn’t burn witches. They burned women. And I have no doubt that some would like to bring that practice back.

Poilievre can’t answer simple questions!
aaronwherry.bsky.social Aaron Wherry @aaronwherry.bsky.social · Apr 15
Poilievre was asked this morning what, concretely, he would do to end "woke culture" in the public service and the military and he pointed to two things:

1. The Liberal government's "woke criminal justice agenda."
2. The Liberal government's "woke agenda on spending."

We don’t want this kind of crap in Canada. Nobody is attacking “Christians” in Canada. It’s not a thing. Stop this American slime from taking root Canada. 🇨🇦

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

For those of you in Alberta, pulling your hair out because ⁦‪@MarkJCarney‬⁩ will become a PM without a seat, how quickly you forgot this. It’s how the system works.

I sure hope that Canada in particular learns from the US how fragile democracy is.

You guys really need to study what happened and prevent it from happening there. Oligarchy will be coming for you, but you have some time still to prevent it.

Classic conservative tactic: cut funding, mismanage operations, then declare it doesn't work and that the private sector can run it more efficiently.

Not really sure how this could be worse. Pay attention Canada, this kind of weaponized incompetence and corruption will be a feature of the CPC.
