There aren’t many people who can say they worked w/ John Lewis, Fannie Lou Hamer, Stokely Carmichael & Bob Moses & hung out w/ Walter Rodney, CLR James & Kamau Braithwaite. Fred Anderson can. He’ll be on a future episode of my @ricochetmedia.bsky.social podcast “In Bed with the Elephant.”

I’m reading one of the best books of non-fiction of the year. “Eyes Have Seen: From Mississippi to Montreal” It tells the incredible story of Fred Anderson who at 15 becomes an organizer for SNCC the preeminent civil rights organization of the 1960s & eventually flees to Canada.

“The problem in this country… [is that] at the highest levels of government, we have incompetency….They don't understand that the fundamental principles, the centre of Canada is always working with #Indigenous peoples.”

There's an argument to be made that the most progressive CDN prime minister of the 20th century was a Conservative, #JohnDiefenbaker. Diefenbaker was born into poverty. He was an "enemy of injustice & discrimination." He identified w/ the downtrodden. He despised "elites."

Visited the fantastic Whetung Ojibwa Centre on the Curve Lake First Nation (30 minutes from Peterborough) on the weekend. This gallery/museum/art & craft store is modest on the outside & spectacular on the inside. It’s a remarkable space & worth travelling hours to get there!

A few observations from today’s #MarkCarney Liberal rally in #Peterborough

-The crowd skewed older.
-There weren’t many from the 18-34 demographic.
-Carney is becoming more at ease as a politician.
- He seemed self-assured. Told jokes.
- Spoke confidently in both languages.
