Say What?
Folks, I’m scared. I’ve unwittingly stumbled onto something about Occupy Vancouver that may just be the most important story about this movement yet. If you read my article Titled Yellow Card you’ll know the story. Harsha Walia is the person who injected the term “Uunceded coast salish territory” into our statement of unity- possibly the most …
