Sir John A. Macdonald was the architect of Indigenous genocide in Canada. Rebelling against controversial historical figures is merely re-evaluating history. For too long we have whitewashed the sins of our founding fathers. A reckoning was owed, and still is.

A far-right party in Canada is imploding over a 22-year-old staffer’s extreme posting online.
I got my hands on audio from @antihate.ca that might leave Canadians asking how the hell someone like this got into politics at all.
It involves Diagolon, "remigration" and some trojan-horse-style plots:

When I'm accused of naivety for thinking the world can change for the better, I use this very example.
I'm not old & in my lifetime, smoking went from absolutely everywhere, to "smoking sections", to the current reality.
It took education, new laws, & peer pressure. All of it - no silver bullet.

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.
We CAN change things.

It’s crazy that people used to be able to just smoke cigarettes wherever they wanted

Players like Quinn Hughes do not get traded very often. Mostly because there are not a lot of them. For a player like that to get traded, at this age, a lot of things have to go terribly wrong. That is the Vancouver Canucks story.

Whatever you think of the trade return, this being the end result of the Quinn Hughes era can’t be seen as anything less than an abject failure by the #Canucks organization, from ownership on down.

Last fall, I testified to the Parliamentary Committee and explained why the current legal threshold needs to change.
Stalking is a gendered crime and how justices measure "fear" is often through sexist tropes of cowering, self-silencing, etc which means our resilience is used against us.
