If you're not sure why we need Indigenous Veterans Day as a stand alone day - dig through the old newspaper archives and search for "Indian Veterans". Almost every single story is like these ones, discrimination on top of bureaucratic hell. 1

What the Alberta government just did should worry all Canadians.
When they legislated striking teachers back to work, they went a step further:
They used the notwithstanding clause.
This is part of a worrying trend.

One thing I've discovered (but am not writing about) is that in the 4 years since the GPR findings at Kamloops of 215 potential unmarked graves, Canada has almost certainly filled 215 more (200-240) with Indigenous children in foster care.

Three things to do to support Wikipedia:
1. Dump Google. Make DuckDuckGo with AI turned off your default search.
2. When the information you want is not in Wikipedia and you find it elsewhere leave a comment on an article talk page pointing to it.
3. If you have the means, donate time or money.

to this i would add a good amount of self-loathing stemming from a belief that liberal political views are somehow “inauthentic” or an affectation of “elites”
I agree with whoever said a rather under-appreciated dynamic is the extent to which Professional Politics Opinion Havers flat out just find the left interpersonally irritating in a way they do not find the right so, and I think a lot of the talk of a vibe shift was wish-casting their irritants away.

Surreal to see this in CNN. What a wild week.
I feel so awful for everyone on this site.
I’ve dealt with this on a smaller scale before, which means I take a lot of safety precautions in my daily life.
But most of those listed are private citizens just thrown to the wolves.

This story is a fun case study in "how do you get stories?"
Step 1: Notice your kid (whose school has many low-income and Indigenous kids) gets school supply after the school covering that in recent years. Also the school's 10 Free Books program mysteriously didn't happen last June.
