Think that reparations are just the absurd idea that hard-up white Britons who never enslaved anyone pay trillions to back people who were never slaves? If you’re open-minded enough, maybe consider this open access review of the arguments for & against? https://t.co/GnVDqdBc2V

Today I was honoured to table my private member's bill, an Act to Amend the Criminal Code (Promotion of Hatred against Indigenous Peoples), to add to the Criminal Code the promotion of hatred through residential school denialism. We owe survivors more than words, we owe them
