This episode sets off our mini season within a season in which we unpack issues facing Indigenous communities in Canada. In this first episode, we're breaking down the first chapter of Chelsea Vowel's formative book, Indigenous Writes: A Guide to First Nations, Métis & Inuit Issues in Canada , "The Terminology of Relationships". We discuss issues around language, some of the nuances of naming, and what we as non-Indigenous folk need to consider in our language use when referring to Indigenous peoples.

Should we be cancelling people? Is cancel culture toxic? Does it even really exist? In our season’s penultimate episode, we answer these questions and more. We talk alternative models of justice, tools of the powerless, and sprinkle on some communication theory for good measure. Before we get the chance to be cancelled, we're asking do the kids know about cancel culture?

Heads up, this episode’s topic is dense and heavy with mentions of traumatic experiences, death, and suicide. But it is a topic that is extremely important to give voice to that is intentionally kept under the radar. This week we discuss the intricacies, the difficulties, and the atrocities that are the refugee and asylum claimant processes as well as the state of immigration detention in Canada.

This week we rant a bit on a topic that can unknowingly be the source of annoyance, pain, and frustration for many racialized people. We highlight the ways white women, along with the rest of us who hold power and privilege over others, can be better at being uncomfortable when faced with the ways that we unintentionally oppress others. This week we ask, Do the Kids Know About White Female Fragility?

As always, thank you for continuing to support us with your dollars and if there's a topic you'd like covered on the show, send us a message.

Until next week... stay in the know!

We all carry biases we inherit from the societies in which we live. In the context of the white supremacist nation -state that is KKKanada, often the biases tie in with race. Despite our best efforts, we are all exposed to and internalize racial prejudice. What does this mean and what does this look like? Let’s unpack it together.  

Books mentioned on race and fatness:

Fearing the Black Body

Fat Girls in Black Bodies, Creating Communities of our Own
