Excellent piece.

Very good book. Took courage to write it.

I have referenced Tomson Highway many times. His memoir is a must-read.

An informative new post at by one of the group's scholars explains the necessity for this new website, the popular misconceptions it will correct, and the information gaps it will fill: ANNOUNCEMENT: New “Indian Residential School Research Group" Website…

By all means such losses should be mourned. But words must have precise meanings. Speaking of the loss of Gaelic, I strongly recommend the novel, The Colony by Audrey Magee, set in 1979. Riveting on that topic.

That was a great article. And kudos to @NationalPost for stepping up on the necessity for it.

Yes. Everyone should read Tomson Highway's exquisite memoir, Permanent Astonishment. He achieved international success as an artist and musician, and credits his 8 years at a res school for introducing him to music and art and literature.

A remarkable conversation. Rowling rules:

Great thread. The only thing missing is the doctor cheerfully telling those who regret having their arm chopped off that they can get a prosthesis that looks exactly like the real thing, so no worries!.

Good summary of Canada's gender news this week. Including my column in @NationalPOst: GENDER WARS: Trans identifying males in female spaces, and a Catholic student "excluded" for religious beliefs

Read this, dude. It was Mia, in this persuasive telling, who exploited those kids, a gaslighter par excellence:

Excellent myth-busting article: Israel and Palestine: Exploding the Myths
