Oh I’ll slam the mayors wife…

He (Mayor Ron Paull) said he’s never opened the book. But he did not condemn her actions and urged everyone to respect and welcome each other’s views.
The culture of tolerating intolerance …

1492-2024: Genocide was wrong then, and is still wrong today. No matter who is committing it.

The nation said it shouldn’t have to defend the findings of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, or the experiences of the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc, the Williams Lake First Nation, and other nations who have been “so severely castigated” by the book.

A lot of our worst behaviour becomes a lot more understandable when you realize how much of it is driven by primate tribalism that evolved millions of years ago, and the reason it’s so powerful is because, for those millions of years, ostracism was a death sentence. It’ll take a long time to breed tribalism out of humanity.
