"It's sad that we don't expect much from leadership anymore. It's sad we have to stand in the rain in the middle of a pandemic following an election, just to be heard. But here we are." - @hjalmerwenstob Hjalmer Wenstob

Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation members of the Masso family gathered community to call on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take accountability for vacationing in Tofino within Tla-o-qui-aht territory instead of attending the first ever #TruthAndReconciliation Day. Justin Trudeau refused to meet with #Tlaoquiaht First Nation members and had his security pass along the message that it was his "personal #vacation time". The security promised to deliver to Trudeau a paper copy of @massotimmy Timmy Masso's statement, along with a package of handwritten letters from local elementary school students sharing their disappointment in the PM. The next day #Trudeau apologized.

While JT vacationed in #Tofino, he led an active court challenge to deny #Indigenous children set to receive billions in compensation from #Canada. During his vacation, a judge in Ottawa ruled that Indigenous children are entitled to government compensation as Canada "wilfully and recklessly" discriminated against them. Indigenous Lives Matter and we can no longer afford empty promises of #cleanwater infrastructure for Indigenous communities or pushing #pipelines without consent across unceded Indigenous territories, among many others. We stand in #solidarity with Indigenous people holding the PM and #colonial politicians accountable for the structural #racism they facilitate.

Thanks to @justbeeing_ @friendsofclayoquotsound visual storyteller for the awesome video!
