A good read today on Canada Day so we may reflect on the truth and how we may reconcile that which we cannot deny; make Canada a place we can ALL be proud of.
We seem to have a few new friends here! For those who haven't yet seen it, here is a copy of our booklet: An Overview of the Indian Residential School System. #EveryChildMatters anishinabek.ca/wp-content/up…

Yup!
It's #Pride Month in Canada. This quote from Morgan Freeman is so perfect. I can't help but think this also applies to the word #Islamophobia too. #cdnpoli
