1. As @blueravenart noted, it is unfortunate that @downiewenjack gets $5million in today's budget but the @NCTR_UM gets nothing. cbc.ca/news/canada/th… #TRC #Indigenous #Budget2018

2. It is not that the Downie-Wenjack fund, and spaces for reflection and reconciliation, are bad - but we are still fighting for the truth BEFORE reconciliation: downiewenjack.ca #TRC #Indigenous #Budget2018

3. At a time when anti-Indigenous racism is rampant, Sen. Beyak is beaking off accusing the TRC as fake news while opening and holding space for residential school deniers.... aptnnews.ca/2018/02/21/bey… #Budget2018

4.... and the feds are spending $$$ fighting to withhold res school documents, Canada needed to do better today to support #IRS truth. cbc.ca/news/indigenou… #Budget2018

5. There are still challenges with the NCTR, as @crystalfraser + John Milloy + I highlighted when it first opened, but it needs continual support. activehistory.ca/2015/11/assess…

@NCTR

6. Canadians need a fully-functional @NCTR - and the documents and survivor testimony it holds - more than quiet spaces to reflect on reconciliation. I call on @JustinTrudeau to prioritize supporting the work of the NCTRC: nctr.ca/about.php #Budget2018

1. With a twitter essay I wrote last year about confronting #JohnAMacdonald's controversial legacy with political cartoons from his OWN time making the rounds again, I wanted to offer a few new thoughts about "political correctness" + changing historical interpretation #cdnhist

2. I am currently reviewing a new book "Sketches from an Unquiet Country" for the Canadian Historical Review (CHR) that deals with political cartoons in #cdnhist: mqup.ca/sketches-from-…

3. I came across an interesting example of how one artist, John Wilson Bengough, offered "politically correct," or changing interpretations, on the War of 1885 - waged by Canada with Macdonald as prime minister - through political cartoons. This is in a chapter by Robyn Fowler.
