Canada is backsliding on Indigenous rights. Let’s talk about how to do better (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and Canada has a lot of work to do. In some ways, we’re actually backsliding right now.Residential school denialism is being espoused by some prominent right-wing politicians and media.
