@RumbleFreeCA @LKrauss1 @chrisbrunet @bradley_tindall Cultural funding focuses on specific European ancestries, not "white" identity. Under the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms & fed/prov human rights acts, protection against discrimination based on race, color, or ethnic origin applies to ALL, regardless of racial background.

I will not engage in politics today. Period. It's my birthday and my close family is gone. So, I spent a ridiculous amount bringing pho in from another city along with flan and I am now enjoying a long, hot bath. Nothing big for me this year.

Ok let’s try this. I extremely “detest and vilify” the Bill C-9 definition that extreme “detesting and vilifying” is hate speech that should be illegal.

@LKrauss1 @sjc_pbs I have not seen anything else that contradicts that in my reading of the curriculums and various articles.

The understanding of the modern world is based on science and we owe it to our students to teach it as best we can. As I put it in this piece: "It is a giant leap backwards to cater to superstitions in a misguided attempt to pay back Indigenous peoples." quillette.com/2026/03/26/tre…

@earlkralik @earth__sophie @LKrauss1 Yes, cram it I to a textbook and take out the human and environmental connection. This allows kids to learn in the environment and not just reading stuff from a book they will never remember.

@earth__sophie @LKrauss1 There's no such thing as "indigenous land knowledge." If they demonstrate something that's useful, it gets incorporated into all human knowledge.

@earlkralik @LKrauss1 This just lets them learn in the environment instead of just a textbook. And it integrates so traditional oral storytelling. I would have*loved* this as a kid.

@LKrauss1 I've yet so see an example of "indigenous ways of knowing" that is different from the regular way of knowing, beyond mysticism.

@sjc_pbs @LKrauss1 So, hands on learning in the environment and integration of storytelling of oral traditions to you is a bad thing?

@LKrauss1 As a biologist & grandparent of a child who may soon enter high school in BC, I found this both useful & disturbing. I'd say it strengthens the case to continue homeschooling.

@LKrauss1 But this does not change the teaching of science, it provides a place-based context for it. Science gets taught in the local environment rather that just a textbook. Things like building models of clam gardens to study marine biology. I don't see the issue.

@LKrauss1 As long as "hate" is subjective, it cannot be legislated. What people "feel" cannot be made into law. Violations of law are required to meet specific objective criteria. That's why laws exist - to establish DEFINITIVELY what is legal and what is not.

@LKrauss1 So they've criminalized feelings? Surely nothing bad has ever come from that...

@LKrauss1 It’s becoming blatantly obvious our governments are interested in controlling us rather than working for us. This elite ruling class keeps telling us it’s raining outside while urinating on our shoes. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, humans cannot handle the temptation.

@LKrauss1 But that *is* the definition in a legal and human rights context. It's a a hallmark of Canadian jurisprudence (notably from cases like R. v. Keegstra and Saskatchewan v. Whatcott)

@Cosmic_Slice @LKrauss1 100% agree. But, as I know you're aware, we're on a social media site, likely the worst or second worst of the lot, where exchanging ideas, rudely, is the whole point. Where's the fire in your brand, Leanne?
