What will you do to further reconciliation?
This photo features what the Canadian Oath of Citizenship SHOULD say if the government passes a bill to update it to meet one of the points in the Truth and Reconciliation's 94 calls to action
Here's a link to my opinion piece that came out today on the CBC-Manitoba website:
'What will you do to further reconciliation?' Canadians need to act on MMIWG inquiry's calls for justice
I wrote this piece in response to being asked this "What will you do' question. In responding, I was reflecting on how all the inquiries seem to request many similar things from the people and government of Canada... And few or none of the-totally valid-points are being dealt with properly or promptly in response.
(In other--less important-- household news, it's Shavuot, my kids have had way too much ice cream this weekend, and they also did very well at their first piano recital. There's a lot going on, all at once-as usual- at my house.)
