The policy at @VCHhealthcare says that if 3 or more people are meeting, there must be a land acknowledgement performed first.
They made leadership attend training sessions so you could “personalize” the land acknowledgement you give at meetings. You had to find some way to relate your own life to the land acknowledgment you gave.
So this meant that you’d hear these forced, awkward, and barely sensical anecdotes included with the endless acknowledgments at the start of every meeting. Every high paid bureaucrat droning on about how they always think of indigenous persons when they drive past the Tim Hortons on Cambie street or some crap. It was bizarre and completely pointless. And has done exactly nothing to help indigenous persons.
I escaped a cult.

Thousands of their staff feel the same as me but no one is going to say anything.
Might as well be me—since they fired me for knowing that humans do not change sex.

Thinking about reporting the women who fired me to HR, because they did not perform a land acknowledgement before they did it
