While we witness Trump and Musk undermine their opponents by withholding funding, I want to remind you that all Canadian governments have had a long history of doing the same thing. It's been government policy from the beginning, and this is just the latest betrayal: www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

The stunning Indigenous Canada flag created by Kwakwaka'wakw artist Curtis Wilson. His design for the flag is meant to represent First Nations in Canada to the public. In reflection, with gratitude and humility 🙏.

Winnipeg used to make a living flag every Canada Day. They've since stopped the practice but they got some amazing shots of the various events held over the years. First is Portage and Main, second and fourth are at the baseball park and the third is the Manitoba Legislature. #canada #flagday
