RE: Garden update ... in case anybody is following along
Gardens looking good, where ya from? i garden for myself and to sell at farmers markets up here in saskatchewan canada. take a stop by my blog if you like.. i just did some posts about my garden aswell. In fall i rototill my leaves and compost bin into my garden i find it helps them take off crazy in the spring.
We are located on the edge of the Tawatinaw Valley just south of Athabasca, Treaty 6 territory, Turtle Island. Thanks for dropping by and checking out our garden. Peace to you.
Sweet a fellow canadian ontop of a gardener, even better then just meeting another gardener. ive been through there before, whats cool is that your town predates the railroad and was used all the way back to the fur trade as part of a route :)
To be clear, I'm not a 'Canadian'. Yes, we litterally live just a few hundred yards west of the old Athabasca Landing Trail. It was the trail that ran from Athabasca to Fort Edmonton. Athabasca was actually in the running to be the capital of 'Alberta' in the day. Lots of history here.
How arent you a canadian, if you live in canada. living in canada is the very basis, of being a canadian, what am i missing? lol
Canada is a fictional construct. A feudal empire that uses coercion and force to ensure compliance. A political tool used to control people, claim ownership over the land and suck the energy and resources from the land for the benefit of the few. It did all this through the genocide of the people who lived here prior to colonization and continues to engage in genocide to this very day. I cannot participate in that so I left, over 10 years ago. The land is not 'Canada'. I AM the land, as are you and everyone else. Fictional constructs don't exist except as ideas in our minds.
im gonna agree to disagree, Those who were here first, are well paid for "colonization" i wish i could hunt out of season, and get my smokes half price. etc but i dont. and those who lived here prior do. and as for the resources energy, like you said, for the benefit of a few, yet canada, has alot more then a few people in it, and people of every culture from around the world, we are by far one of the most diverse countrys on the planet, and im happy to say im apart of that. if you cant say your happy to be apart of it, why be in canada, on this land considered part of this fictional empire. why not move to a country you dont feel that way about? and your sort of hypocritical? you cite a passage from the bible in a recent post, yet christianity and religion in general. is one of the biggest control tools and tools of opression in history and more were killed in the crusades and other battles over christanity then that which were killed when canada was colonized... anyhow, have a good day.
I acknowledge that you don't comprehend what I speak of and that is okay. Your path, your journey. If you are interested, I recommend a good book called 'An Inconvenient Indian' and my own book 'Graduating Life with Honours'. There are other books too, but that is a good start ... if you are willing to put in the effort to comprehend what I speak of. If not, then peace to you.

I wandered over here after seeing you on Asher's post this evening; I wanted to tell you that simplymike does a lovely, monthly steemit Community Garden post where many share photos of their garden's progress. Your's would be a wonderful addition.
Sadly, I saw this thread and felt the need to say that I'm sorry that there is such close-mindedness among so many. I know it's not my fault, but I feel sorry for it's existence at all. Your response is thoughtful, educational and has the markings of a true gentleman. Thank you.
