*smiles reptilianishly Edit: Oh new page. Recently I read Prison of Grass by Howard Adams who was a Metis marxist. Very pro Louis Riel and Metis but I found his writing on the structure of colonialism from a class based perspective to be really interesting and I agreed with a lot of it. The early chapters about how he wanted to escape from his indianness by embracing white society and the latter chapters about how Indigenous people need to collectivize in order to implement decolonization being the most relevant, in my opinion. Also very prophetic about a lot of the issues that face indigenous people today for a book written in the 70's. I think I'll try track down his other writings at some point. littleorv has issued a correction as of 20:11 on Aug 16, 2019 |

That means there was a buyer. And the Koch's are good business guys, so they pro ably made money on the deal too. This is good news for Alberta and things are looking up for the oil industry for decades to come!

I'm gonna run for office on a "Maxime Bernier does not exist" platform. Elections Canada will be forced to make sure no one mentions Bernier lest they show an inherent bias.

It's kind of like jumping on the sports bandwagon when your team is already in the finals. I mean, everybody's got their own journey but come on.... (ok ok its good it normalizes queerness and makes young people struggling with their sexuality feel accepted I know I'm the rear end in a top hat)

to be fair there are lots of closeted politicians they're kind of behind. there's still this cold calculation for politicians of whether it will "hurt them" or not in their career it's like one level below being a gay pro athlete

Seriously though, I already knew he was gay, and I haven't lived in Ottawa for almost 5 years. Maybe it's because my social circles had lots of non-straight people? But everyone was just matter-of-fact about it to the extent that I didn't know it was a secret.
