They deleted both their fb and tumblr (lilbitwhit), and I didn’t see anything as to why. I know they’ve done a sweep before, but anyone have any idea? I’m hoping they’re okay.
I was wondering the same. Have you heard from them?

I live in a small Ontario town. My county is mostly working class, but since there is a privately-owned nuclear plant nearby, there are some wealthy people too. Wealthy enough to have two houses. I didn’t know that some people had two houses when I was a kid. None of my friends did, unless their parents were divorced.
Apparently, some people do.
So, why is it that there are so many rich people in this country, so rich that they can afford multiple homes, and still there are first nations people who cannot be housed on reserves, or in sub-standard conditions?
Why are we accepting this? Why are we not doing something? Why is this okay?

Everything was taken from native people, and now the government still refuses to give enough back so that the majority of people on reserves don’t have to live in appalling conditions. So they can have heat and water.
Canada has a racial inequality problem. This is what one of its faces looks like.

Remember Canada’s “hot” new prime minister Justin Trudeau? He previously vowed to pick a cabinet with equal gender representation — and just delivered:
When reporters asked Trudeau why women’s presence in his government was important he simply responded “Because it’s 2015.” These appointees, especially Wilson-Raybould, could be a game changer.
I want to send out my sincere congratulations to Ms. Maryam Monsef who is not only one of the first Muslims to be elected as a MP for the Canadian Government, but she is also the first Afghan to do so. Ms. Monsef escaped the war from Afghanistan when she was just 10 years old, alongside her mother and sister. She has achieved so much at just 30 years old.
I am extremely proud of Ms. Monsef. I wish her nothing but success and happiness.
She has made every single Afghan, every Muslim, every woman proud of her!
Congratulations again! I am so excited to see what you have planed as Minister of Democratic Institutions.

I think I have decided that I’m going to shut this blog down: I would much rather talk to folks via other mediums (fb, iMessage) than through here.
I’m going to keep my ‘academic’ tumblr so I can still read about you/comment.
Let me know if a) you’d like the URL for that account or b) if you want to become friends on other kinds of social media.
