Dispatches from the #Prairies
1/ Hearing instances of Black women being barked at on the streets of #Saskatoon and wondering about backlash after #BlackLivesMatter
This is not new here.
We have seen Indigenous people behind attacked around Gerald Stanley's trial. #skpoli
2/ We’ve seen thousands of people on the streets of various Saskatchewan cities during the #BlackLivesMatter protests in a province that rarely accounts for Black lives.
With more people out after covid related post-confinement in the province, I seriously wonder about this.
3/ Very important to have a historical perspective and to connect the dots on race issues in this province where the Black population has more than tripled in the same period of time in 20 years. And where the Indigenous population is rapidly growing.

Barked at by white men. To be clear.
**being attacked**
