Story by Story, Canada’s News Media Built Indigenous Oppression | The Tyee
How relentlessly racist framing helped ‘write’ the Indian Act — and persists today.
thetyee.ca

They are kids!
They don’t play by adult rules,
Until they’re adults.
I don’t excuse them but losing a hockey game hurts and it makes them do kid stuff.

I was saying this close to a year ago. I'm not psychic, I'm not bragging...I'm lamenting being right. The longer we allow unchecked power to rest in the hands of an authoritarian, the worse it will get. For the sake of the US and the world, he must be removed from office. #uspoli #cdnpoli #eupoli
Donald Trump is basically threatening to use military force against everyone in the Western Hemisphere to annex their territory or steal their natural resources and #GOP and #Democrats are being so muted on the subject I am concerned America is becoming the 4th Reich.

that Putin and Trump are partners in crime setting out "their territories"
with the US getting Venezuela & it's resources and
