A must read from MNO’s Youth Council President! Polarization is impacting Métis youth due to misinformation surrounding Bill C-53 – legislation to implement Métis self-government. thestar.com/opinion/contribu… via @torontostar

Sounds a lot like an abusive residential school nun. Power and abuse of power is not how people heal. Compassion and understanding the root of the addiction are much better medicine than another slap across the head. Humanity has just been buried in an unmarked grave.

Toxic cultures exploit generosity. Takers impose extra work on givers, and no good deed goes unpunished. Healthy cultures reward generosity. People protect givers from takers, and cream rises to the top. Helpfulness is not a weakness to target. It's a strength to safeguard.
