A far-right, white supremacist group, in masks, did a banner drop today in Kamloops, BC today asking “Got Bones?” ahead of Orange Shirt Day/National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Truly abhorrent, dangerous stuff.

And, far-right media, some mainstream media, the Conservative Party of Canada, and provincially the BC Conservatives, OneBC, etc have actively fomented, created space for, and profited from all of this. They should be held to account, as well as these fascist goofs.

Fascists mobilizing an open threat to Indigenous people in BC. While multiple political parties are running genocide and residential school denialists and opponents of Indigenous rights as candidates in next month's elections.

Peter Milobar trying to figure out who let this happen to his constituents, again.
The apparent white nationalist gathering on Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc land and then in Kamloops this morning was hateful and meant to intimidate. It has no place in British Columbia, and BC Conservatives condemn it completely. We stand with the people of Tk'emlúps and Kamloops. We expect the RCMP to investigate fully

For the past 18 months, opposition parties in BC such as OneBC and the BC Conservatives have actively fomented this kind of residential school denialism and anti-Indigenous racism, creating space for it to grow as a politically useful rhetoric. This statement is disingenuous.

Truth Before Reconciliation is officially a National Bestseller!
@Niigaanwewidam and I, and all of the contributors, are very grateful for all of your support! Peer-reviewed, academic books published by university presses rarely become national bestsellers.

Residential Schools denialism causes lasting harm and deepens injustice. New funding will support trusted organizations to help Canadians learn the facts about Residential Schools and counter false information.
