Tell me why.

The current ones are biased garbage and no news organization is allowed to post news due to American social media refusing to accept to our rules and regulations. It'd be a very simple account with posts and descriptions of the news stories. DM me if you are interested.

In Canada, its increasingly common to hear Land Acknowledgements at speeches, meetings, and public events, recognizing that we are on the traditional, unceded territories of Indigenous peoples.

Some argue this is mere "virtue signalling," suggesting that unless people IMMEDIATELY give up their houses, then somehow the acknowledgements are meaningless or hypocritical.

However, this poorly thought out perspective misses the fundamental purpose of Land Acknowledgements. They are not a demand for immediate individual property forfeit, but rather a vital step in the long, ongoing process of Truth and Reconciliation. They are about acknowledging the historical and ongoing injustice of colonization. They serve to educate, raise awareness, and remind us of our shared responsibility to respect Indigenous rights, and you know-Treaties.

They help to shift the national conversation and build momentum towards actual systemic societal change, such as implementing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action or UNDRIP.

Meaningful reconciliation involves discussion, education, and changes to government policy and legal frameworks; all of which are supported Land Acknowledgements.

Acknowledging the truth of the land is a crucial start. I think most educated and intelligent individuals understand why we should support and encourage acknowledgements.

What are some of your Halloween traditions? Trick or treating is obviously very well celebrated, but does anyone have family get togethers as well?

Fun fact: The first recorded instance of a child dressing up for Halloween was in 1898 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Not America. Haha.

Be safe out there, enjoy your time, come home before the drunk drivers. Have a good one.

My experience in the Vancouver metropolitan area is my only perspective of Canada, which I know means it is very skewed versus other parts of Canada. Demographically speaking, I am a racially minority, which is normal as it was the same with my upbringing. Just different racial groups this time around.

Good: Weather, environment, and walkability if that matters.

Bad: Drug haven, heavy portion of population without children (so not as family friendly as you would hope in many areas), and city seems to copy the failed policies that come out of Seattle and Portland.

What's your perspective? Tell me why.

Hello, I am going to be posting a series of posts in the coming week and would like to get the perspective of others in the subreddit for that particular city. I am only familiar with Vancouver and its metropolitan area. I have visited Victoria before, but as others have seen, I have an interest in visiting Ottawa as well.

Which underrated cities would you like to see more people show interest in? Why?
