    l have said it before and will say it again - read the audit report of her personal expenses while working at the Toronto Port Authority. It is sickening how reckless she was with the public purse.

    I encourage all businesses who want to take my money to pay your employees fairly... $15/hr or more + scheduling integrity. When I'm shopping now, I'm asking and if you aren't I'm leaving your store.

    Another book review from 2018 in the Canadian Journal of History brings up the same issues as the previous two: the authors all-but-ignore the past 2 decades of research on the topic at hand!

    The author goes on, "I believe that the authors purposely chose to pick the sources that support their views of history and ignoring those sources that disagree with their distorted view of Michigan history."

    Another review in 2018, this one by a member of the French-Canadian Historical Society of Michigan, is much more damning. "The fatal flaw is the fact that the authors relied on an odd assortment of underlying sources ranging from ...

    Giroux also argues that authors fail to engage with Indigenous scholars on issues of "belonging and political sovereignty", and fail "to acknowledge the importance of female kinship networks which are so vital to Metis"

    Seb Malette, Michel Bouchard & Guillaume Marcotte wrote a 350+ page "expert" report supporting the "Maniwaki metis" organization in a court case in 2016. That's the same org who has 100s of members without any Indigenous ancestry:
