Executive Director of OPV Dismisses "canadian" Atrocities
Executive Director of (OPV)Organization for the Prevention of Violence" Spreads "canadian" White Nationalist Ideologies in the guise of multi-cultural-ism and dismisses Canadian/Indigenous atrocities...
I just attended a meeting with Coalitions Creating Equity (CCE) who had guest presenters from "Organization for the Prevention of Violence(OPV)". The presenter & executive Director of OPV, John McCoy was a real "canadian" Nationalist who talked about how the mainstream news was the real deal and alt-media was all conspiracy mumbo jumbo. he talked about how "canada" was this wonderful place using terms like "National Security". and how this one particular violent incidence against immigrants(pertaining to a church incident I believe, not sure) was the greatest act of violence perpetrated on "canadian soil".
When I spoke out against his canadian propaganda and ignorance about the truth about "canada and the Indigenous People's. He was so indifferent and defensive against the truth. This guy sounded just like a Justin Falseau speech.
this is the kind of shit I have to deal with all the time in these anti-racism discourses. not to the degree this asshole put forth but wow. this guy is presenting such a whitewashed version of the truth. He must be stopped!! It's like the Indigenous People and this ongoing history does not exist.

Our Homeless Indigenous Populations, Require Culturally Indigenous Healing Shelters.
From the penning of an inherently racist document, the Doctrine of Discovery. To the recent declaration of “Genocide” in regards to the MMIWG’s final Report. The Indigenous People’s as well as many other races and species, continue to suffer negative effects of the colonization of Turtle Island.
In addition, the Cultural Genocide of the Residential school era produced generations of marginalized targets who’ve slipped, or more aptly been squeeeezed through the cracks of a society preoccupied with consumerism and its flamboyant victors. There are many survivors and inter-generational survivors who’ve stumbled out onto streets, only to be forgotten and left to the very religious institutions which tried erase their proud Sovereign identifies in the first place.
This is why we are calling for, and in accordance with principals of UNDRIP and the following Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call’s to Actions:
Health 18, 19, 21, 22, 23
Justice 30, 33, 38, 40
Reconciliation 46, 48,49, 55(iv.), 60, 92
…measures be taken to address Direct Impacts, preventative measures of negative Social Determinates within the system & Data Collections of the over-represented Indigenous population experiencing homelessness. We are calling for the City of Edmonton in partnership with local Indigenous & Christian organizations to incorporate into existing infrastructures and/or build a Culturally Indigenous Shelter and/or Drop-in with a Culturally Indigenous Healing component specifically for Indigenous People’s, run by Indigenous People’s.
The World Health Organization has recognized the relevant importance of Traditional Healing Practices. It has been said that Culture is the best and only true Healer for the Indigenous People’s. So Please Mayor Don Iverson, let’s stop talking about ending poverty time begin with the Healing.

Indigenous People Require Culturally Indigenous Shelters
Christianity has ignored it's role in the Genocide that took place here on Turtle Island in the beginning. And we're still experiencing the effects to this very day due to the residential school era. Time for the Church in it's entirety to help reverse those effects and help with the healing, in the Spirit of Truth and Reconciliation that is....
