You actually can't make this up. The "Elections CEO" who's recommending banning a climate activist from becoming Premier worked as a corporate lobbyist to help ensure the govt went ahead with the largest fossil fuel project in Canadian history. hkstrategies.ca/en/minority-… #bcpoli

My family and clan is hosting a pole raising on national day of truth and reconciliation, and it’s a good time to emphasize that potlatching is for our people. It’s our legal system, economy, and community healing, something we were forbidden from doing at all in recent history.

50 years ago, my mother became ill with severe #mecfs. She was sent from one physician to the next and so heavily gaslighted that she stopped seeing medical doctors altogether. As a child, I only knew her bedridden in a dark room.
