I believe part of Truth and Reconcilliation will need to involve rescinding boundary extensions. This is required for the Truth North to be allowed to be Strong and Free.

My notes from the 2021 Canadian Federal General Election, which included links to things I wrote about the 2019 election.
I was sent a link to a poll being done by the NDP on election priorities.

I strongly agree, but want to add that this is British North American colonialism (currently consolidated into the United States and Canada) and not only the United States. Canadian loyalists have a disgusting habbit of pointing south and claiming "not me".

![I am seeing a lot of narratives being circulated that essentially all say the same thing: that Americans link this version of America we are seeing is closer to 1940's Germany or [insert foreign example here]. This shows me that we still aren't getting it, we still aren't looking in the very clear & large mirror. This version of America you're seeing IS America. It IS US. It is as distinctly American as the flag, as distinctly American as football, as distinctly American as biscuits & gravy.
The example of comparing the U.S. to WWII Germany is a perfect example of ahistorical whitewashing and cognitive dissonance. Recall that Nazi's based their entire blueprint for extermination on what the United States did/continues to do to Native Americans.
We cannot make any meaningful shifts if we can't even contend with history, let alone the present moment. We do not have room for misinformation in our movements.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gzcbygwjdwm3734zi3ix7az3/bafkreibewnka2phbylnbnircmalkrkja4sx3re4j4nogbav7ch5xx7f5ce@jpeg)

The idea that a person that has never been elected to the House of Commons can be claimed to be the Prime Minister is in my mind pure corruption.

Do. Not. Talk. To. Cops.
Settler-colonial policing is a system, not a group of individuals. Whether family members or friends have accepted these jobs, they are part that system. Personal relationships between individuals don't matter.
Know the law where you are (following is US specific).

Quick read, and felt like it fit in the context of "Seven Generations and Seven Grandfather Teachings".
Read this one... Don't just "support the author" (reference to your earlier note).
Some "politics"... 😁

A set of gifts from two different people which are tied. The Serviceberry (book) and a pemmican strip.
Anyone else read this book? I loved it -- a fairly quick read, but with some pretty profound ideas that will take much longer to digest.

It is in reply to an article: The Paywalls of Mental Health
I use it to discuss a flawed critique I've seen online of the assessment services from Embrace Autism.

As many have learned, a proprietary service can be purchased and any community you built there lost.
If you aren't the customer of a proprietary service, then chances are you are the product.
