#colonialcrimes — Public Fediverse posts

Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.

We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

We're fucked in BC. BC NDP government are fascist adjacent #neoliberals who are going ahead with more #CrimesAgainstHumanity when we need serious #ClimateAction & strong, #criminal consequences for #ecocide #polluters.

I'm not really surprised by this. It's pretty much the same sellout caucus as when top BC #colonial #capitalist crimes against humanity #BCNDP boss was running things(Rest in piss/shit Horgan💀). Since Eby was groomed & then kingmade by Horgan - this was bound to happen. More greasy ecocidal crimes will be happening while #BCNewDeathParty continues to greenwash & whitewash #CorporateGreed dirty deals 🤬 Supporters of BC NDP are complicit in their ongoing crimes against humanity 🏭👎💩

"Eby’s speech to convention delegates preceding the vote laid out his vision to make the province the “economic engine” of #Canada , to get “big things done” and to “build it together.” This included strong language supporting the labour movement, and followed a day of unions flexing their influence in convention debates. Dissenting voices from those seeking more #environmental protection were generally left on the losing side of debates, as the #NDP ’s focus on prioritizing the economy was clear in convention resolutions.

Despite some delegates calling the North Coast Transmission Line a “subsidy” for natural gas -fracking operations, a resolution to support it still passed. “I welcome the debate, I welcome the discussion,” Eby said. “It’s important to make sure we are addressing #climatechange and carbon #pollution. ” But overall, Eby received an enthusiastic reception and delegates were, for the most part, aligned with the government’s agenda."

#Canada’s #NationalParks Are #Colonial #CrimeScenes.

Many see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as untouched #nature is unrecognizable to #Indigenous people

In 2017, it felt like the whole country was swept up in the rah-rah celebrations around Canada 150. It was a collective anniversary, a chance to celebrate our history. Well, some of it, anyway. Tied to the many calls to explore the country and take stock of its many wonders, #ParksCanada released its Discovery Pass, which granted free entry to all national parks that year. These natural spaces “represent the very best that Canada has to offer,” it announced in a press release. “They are the essence of our country because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples.” But, as Robert Jago explored in his timely essay, Canada’s parks program was built on the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the capture of their territories—a form of “green colonialism.” Parks are wonderful spaces, but they have also acted as #political cover for the control of land, a tactic we still see used today.—Daniel Viola, senior editor, November 2023 issue.
