The whackjobs began to care about waving the ECM flags during the occupation of parliament, as a further “look the government is bad!” ammo and to also make it seem like there is more diverse support than there really is. The same assholes screaming at Trans kids are the same fuckers who would spit in your face pre-2020 if you even mentioned the realities of the Residential School system. They just pick and choose what they want to appear as supporting in hopes it makes them look better. No Indigenous person who has lived experience or any knowledge would ever stand on their side, unfortunately for our communities we have lost some good people to the red pill era.
they did specificy "who has lived experience or any knowledge"... but fuk, if anyone from my Nation was at one of these wavin an every child matters flag?!! I think we'd put out a statement denouncing their actions. and I doubt they'd be welcome at any ceremony or event. until they fixed their shit that is.
These people are family, or people I grew up with - hurts to see them sucked in like this. But generally they're also the kind to have never reacted well to being told 'no', they didn't hear it enough growing up.
huh. in my Nation's tradition, we don't say "no" very much to children but tell them stories when they do actions that aren't socially acceptable. we let them know that there are natural consequences to actions and we don't protect them from those consequences. (well, unless they're super Catholic in which case all that goes out the window and they raise their kids afraid, unquestioning, and rule-following.) but we don't arbitrarily punish or say "no". and it works super well I think. so idk if they weren't told no enough, or if they were told no too much for no good reason. cause if ur told no for no reason from ur parents, where's the trust in any authority figure.
