Reconciliation and Relations with #Indigenous Peoples. Canadians are almost twice as likely to say that governments have not gone far enough to advance #reconciliation and 7 in 10 recognize that they have a role as individuals in advancing reconciliation. environicsinstitute.org/proj…

Besides anything Bassem Youssef has to say, listen to Cenk Uygur on what's happening in Gaza. This interview with (groan, I know) Piers Morgan is remarkable and worth anyone's time.

I really thought it was already waived. Turns out it is a little more complicated. I do agree that tuition fees should be waived for indigenous peoples. cbc.ca/news/indigenous/debun….

University tuition should be waived for all First Nations students - at every school in Canada - not just from certain communities in proximity to the school.
3 universities waived tuition fees for First Nations students, a response to the TRC's Calls to Action to eliminate education gaps.
Let's see more universities follow this lead so more students get access to post-secondary education.
