Spirit Island in Maligne Lake in the Canadian Rockies is one of those places I’ve always wanted to visit, ever since I first saw it on Instagram many years ago. So many thoughts, so many feelings…
When you’re there, you just look and look and you can’t stop - it’s so beautiful. It’s really hard to get on that boat and come back!#canada #alberta #lake #jaspernationalpark #canadianrockies #parkscanada #landscape #rockies #icefieldsparkway #forest #mountains #boat #nature

#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.

#Racists in #Canada are flipping out at #ParksCanada decision to tell ugly truth about #JohnAMacDonald & not #whitewash factual #history to appease white folks who think that cruel man was a hero. He was a #genocider of Indigenous & a huge #sexist jerk. People like that don't deserve respect after death. People who put evil people like that up on heroic pedestals suffer from #racism.
Just search Parks Canada & John A MacDonald & you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm not giving racists traffic.
