White liberals and/or progressives are shocked that these sentences are so light and they claim to be horrified by the actions of the Jan. 6, perpetrators, but none of them seem to recognzie or, at the very least, acknowledge, the systemic racism and white supremacy that is at the core of the country they claim to love. Tomorrow, here in Canada, we observe Truth and Reconciliation Day. It is a day to remember and contemplate the genocide that was perpetuated against the Indigenous people of Canada, whithout whose land that was stolen, and whoes lives that were taken, this country would not exist. This day of mourning is only a national holiday, becuase, they keep discovering thousands of unmarked graves of children who died or were murederd in the Residential School system. America and Canada, have a lot of reckoning to do. Always worth reading your work Herb!
