Rose Lemay has given Canadian indigenous allies a place to start when we ask the question "What can I do?". After working with allies in both the civil service and the private sector, she has a unique, insightful perspective on the issues and ways forward.

Garry Gottfriedsen and Victoria Handford are Canadian heroes in the search for genuine truth and reconciliation. Their book Dangling in the Glimmer of Hope is already a Canadian classic. Buy the book, read it, and pass it on. Even better, buy more than one and share widely.

"In many ways, what’s happening in North Island-Powell River is a stand-in for what’s on the line as voters head to the polls across rural and northern B.C."

"Some settlers even seem to pin the blame for resource sector slowdowns in part on the advancements of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the recuperation of lands at mill sites."

"But now, Aaron Gunn is making a mockery of that truth in a cynical attempt to buy votes from his far-right base," says the petition. "We call on Pierre Poilievre to immediately remove Aaron Gunn as the Conservative Candidate for North Island—Powell River."

May his memory be a blessing to his faith community and to the world, and may his moral courage, his defence of the vulnerable, and his efforts to heal the wounds of history serve as an example, not just for his successors, but for us all. #Alberta #TruthandReconciliation #PopeFrancis #Edmonton
Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦Apr 21
I had the remarkable privilege of attending Pope Francis’s pilgrimage to Lac Ste Anne, west of Edmonton, where he prayed for forgiveness for the Catholic Church’s role in colonialism and cultural genocide against Canada’s Indigenous peoples. It was an extraordinary powerful moment of reckoning and reconciliation - and an act of courage and grace. I am not Roman Catholic. But I too mourn today a champion of justice, who spoke truth to the very end. #PopeFrancis #TruthandReconciliation #Alberta

"Poilievre’s decision to support a candidate engaging in residential school denialism is disappointing but not surprising. There is a clear pattern of denialism and anti-Indigenous racism within the Conservative Party of Canada."

Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives have a residential school denialism problem

It’s time for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives to move on from Aaron Gunn and leave residential school denialism behind once and for all. If the Conservatives are truly serious about “common sense,” they must unequivocally renounce residential school denialism—or else risk paying a political price on April 28.

About the film:
"For decades, child welfare authorities have been removing Native American children from their homes to 'save them from being Indian.' In Maine, the first official Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the United States begins a historic investigation. Dawnland goes behind-the-scenes as this historic body grapples with difficult truths, redefines reconciliation, and charts a new course for state and tribal relations.

"Dawnland aired on Independent Lens on PBS in November 2018 and 2021, reaching more than two million viewers. The film won a national Emmy® Award for Outstanding Research in 2019 and made the American Library Association’s list of 2020 Notable Videos for Adults."
