#flagDay
I’m a bit torn about flag day.
I want to be proud, hopeful and supportive of this country.
At the same time I recognize the amount of of work that still needs to be done as reparations, reconciliation, and rebuilding a respectful existence with the indigenous peoples of this land.
And the work that needs to happen towards environmental awareness and action, racism, transphobia, homelessness- it’s a lot.
So I’ll support the good intentions of taking back our flag from the Honkers who tarnished it even more than the history of how this country came into existence.
Let’s do better.
@TAV Well said!
@TAV There is no reason to be hopeful: The System of Residencial Schools has completely destructed indigenous communities.
Assimilated survivors have the same right as those who always resisted.
Who is "indigenous"? Who has the right to represent? Who has the right to speak for them?
This will be fester wound over a lot of generations!
