fuck the convoy pretendians

my first memories are of stories of residential homes, the 60s scoop, going to drumming group and praying and singing for all of our lost brothers and sisters and ancestors

my grandfather still keeps his medicine wheel and eagle feathers in his BASEMENT because he was taught to be a ‘french man’ instead of an ‘indian’ so he wouldn’t be TAKEN AWAY.

NO you do NOT get to just ‘announce’ yourself as native american. being indigenous is not a fucking CHOICE. eat  d i r t.

I'm sick to my stomach on the state of this country; and I miss Canada

Only our fucking prime minister would stand there smiling while addressing the calgary floods and what's to be done while our mayor is trying to hold back tears.

What an egotistical ass. Who gives a shit about this disaster when the prime minister gets a chance to attempt to shine up his image by acting as though he's a hero for saying he's going to help out as best as he can. This is basically a simple distraction to turn eyes away from the shit he's up to.

Surprised he's not tossing the media members, artists and scientists into the flood waters who are trying to ignore the gag orders
