Elucidating Questions

BC finally made Truth and Reconciliation Day a stat

I don’t know how I feel

Should I really be getting time and a half because some poor child was torn from their living mother

Shipped away

Assaulted

Probably killed?

But I just read BC’s “unveiling” of it becoming a stat

They’re like we consulted indigenous peoples and they said it should be a stat

But then they go on to say

And then we consulted businesses

So, like, the indigenous people saying it should be wasn’t enough for you?

Had to double check with your capitalist masters first?

I completely forgot to buy a shirt so instead I’m dressed in the most bland thing I possibly could

Which coincided with me feeling like shit and not even wanting to get dressed at all

So, no fun colours today

Besides my mage coat, but that’s keeping me warm

I don’t really know the point of this day

You’ve got Tim Hortons making commemorative doughnuts

Like, that just blows my mind

What, you didn’t make enough money off exploiting indigenous people the first time?

But now I’m feeling like

I’m making time and a half while there is a homeless indigenous person out there on this cold morning

I say “a”, there are thousands, but in relation to me let’s make me responsible for one person

It just doesn’t feel right

I wish I could actually do something.
