I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

Indigenous nations understood from the first shot that the Revolution meant one thing: **The colonists want everything.** Dragging Canoe said it clean — the white men intend our destruction. And he was right. The settlers called it destiny; Native nations called it what it was: invasion.

Thank you to the Assembly of First Nations for standing up for the human and charter rights of 2SLGBTQQIA+ Albertans.

The UCP government must immediately withdraw Bill 9 and uphold the inherent rights, teachings, and responsibilities of all first peoples.

What say you @elfdock.bsky.social ?
A truly illuminating read. Reynolds makes a compelling case that northern Australia’s colonisation was fundamentally different from the south—and could not have been achieved without Chinese, Japanese, Pacific Islander and First Nations people. Essential reframing of Aus history. #read2025
