Other than logging accidents,("It’s safer to be a soldier in Afghanistan than a forest worker in BC,” .... the now notorious Highway of Tears, biggest danger here is breathing the air? Worst air quality in the province. I have not been without my moments of existential angst especially when it comes to complacent attitudes
and that inspid mix of white colonial rationalism
and vapid indifference.

The local peeps here "gave up" prime acreage of pristine waterfront property with beatific views to be moved to a reserve situated miles away. The sickest most vile twist in this end game of dislocation and cultural upheaval is the death of
14 year old Aileah-Sager Auger.

The news conference held with much media in attendance was at the traditional area where they were originally dislocated from. Meaning the old burial grounds are adjacent a park where the Aboriginal Day Celebrations were held.

Globe and Mail was there as well as CTV cameras

So where does the sadness end and the jubilation begin?
