#CancelCanadaDay isn’t about taking away a stat holiday. It’s about using today not to celebrate blindly, but to think about how we can decolonize our country to make it truly awesome for everyone.

hey @adriandix, BC Minster of Health, when I didn't get my vaccine booking email due to a tech glitch, I called the COVID 19 booking line twice and was told "to wait", but when a white friend called on my behalf, they told her they'd give me the link and did. What's going on???
