    is my new favorite word.

    It’s the hopium. The opium makes one a government and media darling. Airtime is fueled by hopium. If you don’t sell hopium, you’re a fearmonger. Run a model that is set so infections in schools have zero probability and wrap it in hopium. Everyone wants to buy hopium.

    I learned little about Residential Schools as a student in Ontario. So I’ll learn now, and will help my young children learn too. If you are a parent, here are 10 books by Indigenous authors to help start the conversation:

    Can we acknowledge that flying flags at half-mast and wearing orange shirts is nothing if we aren’t collectively acting and talking? My daughter’s school had orange shirts and half mast flags but refused to engage when she asked to talk about residential schools today.

    Today is a good day to remember residential schools existed in Canada in 1996. History is not so distant.

    Furthermore, my usage of "our" carries a lot of pain for Indigenous people. Canada's Constitution Act, 1867, sets out "Indians and Lands reserved for Indians" among categories of property under federal control.
