On July 1, the legislature lawn normally used for On July 1, the legislature lawn normally used for a Canada Day concert was instead filled with a Black and Indigenous-led celebration called Resist Canada 153. The celebration sought to pay tribute to the ongoing resistance against the Canadian state and its ongoing legacy of colonialism and white supremacy.   At its peak, over 350 people gathered on the legislative grounds. At various points throughout the day, the group was provoked by a far-right and anti-mask protest on the other side of the lawn. Organizer Kati George-Jim, who is Indigenous and hails from the T'Sou-ke and W̱SIḴEM (Tseycum) territories, said that Resist Canada 153 was created “to celebrate Black and Indigenous relationship and our solidarity and our resistance against the attempt to exterminate who we are as human beings.”  Photo and story by @michaeljohnlo.
