Gloria Bell says she found evidence residential school students made souvenirs for the Pope. Canadian researcher challenges Vatican's claim that its #Indigenousartifacts were gifts | CBC News cbc.ca/news/politics/…
1/2 I know that old paper records like #residentialschoolrecords require controlled environments to be prevented from degrading and that creating and maintaining such environments is extremely expensive. The Vatican has such records.
2/2 Digitizing copies of the Canadian #residentialschoolrecords and placing them in the hands of the appropriate First Nations would provide access to their own historical records for research purposes.

All #Indigenousartifacts in the Vatican ought to be returned to the First Nations they came from regardless of whether or not they were allegedly gifts.
Many were taken away from Indigenous people after the Canadian government outlawed cultural practices through the Indian Act in 1876. Ceremonial items and other important objects were seized, then sold, given to museums or destroyed. #Indigenousartifacts

#yycbeltline 🧵I'd like to bring forward another POV on policing. I'm experienced in protesting & I don't support counter-protesting. If there were no counter-protestors there would be no potential for violence. The police would not have to separate 2 groups to prevent violence.
If you aren't counter-protesting on the street you can put city council, mayor & police on the hot seat. Where is the permit to protest? What conditions does it state? If there is no permit or conditions then why is that? How & when will the council & police act to restore peace?
Don't counter-protest on the streets. The city council & mayor, MLAs and Police Chief aren't being pressured to ensure Beltline residents have peaceful quiet enjoyment of their homes, streets & neighbourhood. Make them act, phone, email, write & don't give up.

If you think the failed #freedomconvoy22 s were focused on removing COVID mandates please think again because I disagree.⬇️
Recent research shows some individuals have strong desires to incite chaos when they perceive themselves to be marginalized by society. These individuals tend to see chaos as a way to invert the power structure and gain social status in the process. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.109…
#FreedomConvoy2022 featured white supremacists & neo-Nazis mobilized under the guise of more popular grievances in order to further their agendas. Aside from overthrowing our duly elected gov't what were/are their agendas? What was gained by #illegaloccupations and #blockades?

🧵What is #rightwingextremism? A loose movement, characterized by a racially, ethnically and sexually defined nationalism. ... often framed in terms of white power, grounded in xenophobic exclusionary understandings of perceived threats posed by such groups as people of colour,
Jews, immigrants, the LGBTQ community and feminists.
Here are the 7 things you need to know:
1. COVID-19 had a significant impact on right-wing extremist activity in 2020.
2. Canadian right-wing extremists appear to be heavily influenced by US activity.
3. Right-wing extremist discussion of Canadian politics focused on Justin Trudeau and the New Democratic Party (NDP).
4. Right-wing extremists in Canada are drivers of disinformation.
