http://grandrivermc.ca/content/awl-radio-challenging-unproductive-fictions-canada150
This episode of AW@L Radio (June 30, 2017), opens with a quick rant about Trudeau's massive increases to canada's military budget, and a brief chat about local ripening fruits.
For the remainder of the show, we are joined by Dr. Stephen Svenson for a discussion around #canada150 and this settler colonial state full of racist canadian nationalism.
Kanata 150+, not #Canada150 http://news.umanitoba.ca/kanata-150-not-canada-150/
«Returning to France, Cartier turned to Dom Agaya and Taignoagny and demanded his two captives tell him where the riches of North America were.
The boys told him that the riches they knew of resided in “Kanata,” the “great village.” Cartier then marked his map with the name “Canada” and vowed to return to fulfill his vision.»
You can be simultaneously and legitimately both deeply proud of, and sharply critical of Canada, even on #Canada150
After all, is there anything more Canadian than saying, "Sorry"?
