Last month I wrote an article about Jan Longboat, a Six Nations elder courageously put herself between the radicals in her community and the people who live in Caledonia in an effort to negotiate a peace in a challenging situation. In a now famous video, Longboat negotiated with a man named Gary McHale- both parties …

Are Hungarian Roma Valid As Refugees In Canada?
There has been a lot of controversy lately about Immigration Minister Jason Kenny’s plans to change benefits for refugee claimants. One of the most prominent (and largest) groups of refugees the past few years have been Hungarian Roma, so they are a big part of the debate. I was shocked when I first heard this- …

Professor Anthony James Hall: The Truther With An Aversion To Truth!
One of the people connected to the Occupy movement who confuses me more than others is Anthony James Hall– a professor of Globalization Studies at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta. Besides dressing like the Don Cherry of the truther movement, he is also a man who loves to throw hate at people on Occupy …

Indigenous Racism And The June 21st Uprising…

A Letter to Hedy Fry About Harsha Walia’s Ironic March Against Racism
Hedy Fry is a Liberal Party MP from Vancouver- a highly educated and respectable woman who is originally from Trinidad & Tobago. I love her home country, beautiful beaches (especially Blanchisseuse!), and many lovely people. That said, there are some serious social issues there, many are race related. So, I can understand her reasoning for deciding …
