I remember the other day a protest sign that caught my eye and stirred my interest. The sign observed that while tens of millions were cut from Canada’s budget for First Nations children, an equivalent amount was simultaneously appropriated for a reenactment of the war of 1812. In today’s Dominion, Natascia Lypny reports from Halifax, where the community is fighting back against the federal government’s callous cutting of funds for Aboriginal Youth programs.
"In a media landscape made up of lies, flash, giant blind spots and corporatized sites of distraction, Intercontinental Cry is a trustworthy pathway to the truth where people who are committed to understanding Indigenous realities can gain insight and information to illuminate and activate their struggles."
