In med school, I took an elective called "Stress", foolishly thinking I was going to learn about meditation and yoga. Instead the professor spent 6 weeks proving that being poor or a minority literally destroys your health on a molecular level, and I think about that every day.

Do you understand the “frustration” of your ceremonies being bulldozed? Semi-automatic weapons in your face? Your backyard being dug up without consent? Your mom, aunties, nieces being tied up and carried away on a dolly? Seriously, this was just last week, nvm historical traumas

All the land acknowledgments in the world cannot undo the RCMP and Canada’s dastardly defiling of reconciliation in their dealings with the Wet’suet’en and today after they arrested land resisters at Unist’ot’en. #Wetswueten thestar.com/opinion/star-col…
