(Then Sharon sends me a message on FB...) "The next news I expect to hear about Johnny lee is that he is in jail… in jail because he assaulted someone verbally who reciprocated physically,… In jail your vitriol and toxicity will be contained and reduced. Hopefully you will get the help you so desperately need. I will unfriend you on FB and block your name from emails. If you become well I will hear of it."

{Another Update}…
So this morning I get assaulted by the Hope Mission Staff with a table cart and told to "get a job", that "it must be nice to lay on a mat all day" I am called a bum and humiliated and assaulted by these christians and the city does nothing but perpetuates it by continually allowing these organizations, newcomers and "christians" to get away with it. Hold on folks cuz I am about to bring a storm upon this city! ________________________________________
I KEEP GETTING EXCUSES FROM EPE LIKE, "THAT'S A SEPARATE ORGANISATION", and "THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO" FROM YOU CITY WORKERS. THE GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT IT'S PEOPLE. NOT SAY... "THAT'S NOT OUR DEPT."... Hope Mission (Edmonton)...they laugh at and ridicule the indigenous and elderly clients. Sure they feed us. And most times it's edible. Sure they give us a place to sleep at night. But they also don't provide blankets to many of the clients and we can go a week without heat at nights. Like last week. But hey, they also laugh at me, as an Indigenous person, if I complain about them mishandling my smudged, hand-carved with an Eagle feather attached, walking stick. Or they'll just laugh at and mock an old man for complaining about them opening up the shelter a half hour late in the cold, while preaching at us in the morning about how much "Jesus": and they love us. You folks can praise them all you want for a meal given, when Christianity and colonialism created these problems of poverty in the first place. But me, I'll eat the food they steal from others with lies, because they forced me to with their oppression and racism. I'll sleep on their mat because they forced me to with their Doctrine of Discovery and the fact they've labeled me and my people... SAVAGES! they cut back funding and services to the drop-ins so we're forced onto the streets with no place to go. Sure End Poverty by allowing us to die in the cold. by making it so bad on the streets we're forced to assimilate into the colonial system or die where we lay... be it the river valley or in front of an unwelcoming shelter.
---------------------
{Contact your local shelters and find out if they provide their staff with Trauma Informed Practice training. And everyone could use more Indigenous/colonial history awareness and discussions on how to rectify that history and perhaps save our ability to live on this planet in the future.}

UPDATE: So last night I received an "implied" threat to be denied entry into the Hope Mission shelter. Staff stood blocking the doorway as I stood there with my backpack already bagged for their overnight storage and asked the obvious question, "you want to come in?" then repeated, with a little more emphasis ":You Want To Come In?" Their excuse was because, like many other of the guys who stay there, I yelled out "shut up" to the staff member who goes on preaching after reading the morning scriptures they use to wake us up. Ok, I can understand a few morning scriptures seeing it's a "Christian" organisation. Even though it was Christianity which stole this land through the "Doctrine of Discovery" in the first place. But they go on and on, to them it's a joke and the best "Alarm Clock" they know of, which is what I overheard a staff member and client (white guy of course) speaking and laughing about THAT VERY MORNING. This morning they said, "if you don't want to hear the scriptures you can just get up and leave" then immediately goes into his spiel on their version of god and love. Without giving us the chance to "get up and leave”. Yes, other guys yell at them every morning but they singled me out, why? Perhaps it's because I speak out against their abuse, arrogance and continued forced assimilation into their money, land and children hungry religion. Even after traumatizing generations of my people with their form of religion in the residential schools, we are still subjected to their form of brainwashing because we have no place else to go in this city to sleep, unless we want to take our chances freezing to death on the streets to where it's illegal for us to loiter and camp. There are residential school survivors who get re-traumatized every morning by this organization of charity where the CEO makes HOW MUCH MONEY?!!! Well I couldn't find out with a quick search but simple manager’s make over a hundred thousand dollars a year. And other listed charitable organizations list CEO'S making 2-4 hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.... So much for doing God's work out of Love for "the least of these".
-----------------------------------
There are many of our Elders who suffer from Trauma related issues due to the residential school era, as well as even more inter-generational trauma victims on the streets of Edmonton and the Hope Mission shelter. This is a "christian" organization which is abusing us and forcing us to listen to scripture as we sleep, they use it as an alarm clock and have ignored pleas to stop. PLEASE HELP BY SHARING AND CONTACTING THE HOPE MISSION @ we.care@hopemission.com OR End Poverty Edmonton @ https://www.endpovertyedmonton.ca/contact/
