We Are the Red Tape
38m | Jul 15, 2025What happens when the system designed to “evaluate” you was never built for you to survive it? In this episode, I rip into the machinery of colonial credentialing, break down how Indigenous educators are silenced through red tape, and expose the political game behind Bills like Ontario’s Unleashing Ontario’s Economy Act (Bill 5) and Canada’s One Canadian Economy Act (Bill C-5). These aren’t just policies, they’re weapons.
We walk through how Section 35 rights are being buried under bureaucratic delay, how the Ontario College of Teachers undermines truth, and how OISE did what OCT refused to do: recognize reality. I connect it all to the deeper story of land, law, lived experience, and the deliberate obstruction of Indigenous resistance.
From Alberta's separatist dog whistles to Doug Ford’s colonial condescension, this episode dives into the ways reconciliation is turned into spin, and how resurgence cuts through it. We talk about MMIWG2S, ancestral knowledge, and the audacity of still being here.
This isn’t content. This is resistance.
Turn it up. Share it wide. Then ask yourself: Who benefits from keeping us tied up in red tape?
