Yes. I like to think the last sip is tapwater from an antique pipe. Just a little lie I tell myself to get through it

Eden Fineday Is a Creative Force | The Tyee The Cree media leader looks back on a transformational year. Second in a series.

I've got friends and family still dealing with trauma from their experiences with involuntary care growing up. Often young people turn to substance use in an attempt to cope or escape from high-control households. "Strengthening access to involuntary care" means empowering their abusers.

The open secret that Thomas King is not Indigenous at all is finally verified, and honestly it's a relief. Having him just confess this instead of going out kicking and screaming like so many before him causes a LOT less harm to Indigenous communities.

It still sucks though.

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

Wish I could take credit for this banger of a portmanteau but I learned it from Liam Midzain-Gobin’s wonderful new book, Settler Colonial Sovereignty!

We're grateful to have Harrison Mooney, author of the memoir Invisible Boy, on the #HousingCentral stage. Thank you for the unflinching discussion of your experience of transracial adoption, the complicated identity of governor James Douglas and BC's long-ignored Black History.

Big terrifying keynote speech this morning on my very personal connection to Black history in BC for #HousingCentral. Will I forget how to read? Probably not. Nevertheless the anxiety persists
