Voici quelques éléments de réflexion pour vous alimenter durant votre temps (prolongé) à la maison ou durant votre voyage vers le travail (nous sommes si désolés qu'ils vous font travailler dans ces conditions, mais, avec un peu de chance, ceci pourra vous remonter le moral!).

" I am thinking about so many people who are protesting tonight. In this city, in this province, in this country. Beyond our created borders and across the world too. It seems almost everywhere you look, people are protesting for freedom. It is clear that now is the time to dig deep, be brave, show up, and fight back. How we do it almost doesn't matter. What matters most is that we try and that we care. Love and solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en people who are showing us what it means to fight back and fight hard. Indigenous ways of knowing will lead us to freedom. NOW is the time to listen and do what you can from where you are with what you have".
" Yesterday half a million people gathered in this city to make a statement. this was mine.
1. the most toxic pollutant on the planet is white supremacy.
2. if you care so much about the land then give it all back.

" I wrote this poem in my first semester of high school.(if you don't, I have a stutter) and I hold myself back from doing things a lot because of it , I made up these lies that I have believed for me so long (like I would'nt have friends because I stutter, or I should hide myself so people won't mock me about my stutter) The fear of stuttering and slowing down is one of the wrost ones and if I don't try to reach that goal of taking slowly many days I beat myself up about it. The natural me is about someone I want to be. Someone I wish to be but is to scared to step out of her shadow to do so. This is just a snippit of my life jounery and I can only speak for me and my stuttering journey but i'm going to keep speaking about it, raising awareness to it and hopefully try to retrain my brain to love myself more and to not give into the harmful lies I once thought were true".
