Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Welcome to the experience of Natives

RCMP in Alberta have been lined up against peaceful Carbon Tax protesters since early this morning. None of these officers are wearing name badges, none will identify themselves and none of them will speak with the protesters. How do you think this is going to end?
