“I volunteered at a Residential School until 1983. Lots of good times!” - a lady at the show tonight. Proudly. Thinking she was bonding with me after I spoke about Red Shirt Day during my show.
“Well, I’m glad it was good for the staff.”
She was speechless in her realization.

Good morning. October 4th is a day where we honour the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). The violence experienced by Indigenous women and girls in Canada is a national tragedy. 1200+ cases and still rising.
No more stolen sisters.

This weekend I happened upon a busker singing Breathless. I tipped him $10 and said thank you for the performance. He had no clue who I was but he sure loved the song. Literally, my dream come true.

Let’s also remember this today: Many status Indian soldiers had to become enfranchised before they could sign up to fight in the Second World War, which meant that when they returned to their home communities, they no longer had Indian status.

Sipekne’katik First Nation has seven licenses and only three are being used at the moment. Each license has 50 traps for a total of 150 traps. The commercial fishery in that zone, which is much bigger than just St. Mary’s Bay, allows for up to 390,000 traps.

This will not be an easy season for Canada to live through. Unmarked graves. Don’t get comfortable with that term. Unmarked means it was never meant to be found. 1500+ graves found during Indigenous History Month.

I was mentally preparing to stay home until at least the end of May. Monday feels too soon. I understand that staying home is a privilege some are not afforded. Please keep practicing responsible distance and hygiene. I’m concerned this may have have been for nothing.

“Some were as young as three years old.”
My heart breaks for these families. My son is 4 years old. Back then, if they wanted him, I couldn’t do a thing about it. What if they were yours?
This is the type of pain First Nations are forced to internalize and live through in 🇨🇦.
It’s painful to hear that 215 bodies were found at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. While it is not new to find graves at former Residential Schools in 🇨🇦, it’s always crushing to have that chapter’s wounds exposed.
Let us not forget them.

A number of Métis, Inuit and non-Status Indians also served. However, it was not until 1995, fifty years after the Second World War that Indigenous Peoples were allowed to lay Remembrance Day wreaths at the National War Memorial to remember and honour their dead comrades.
