Sad but I am done with posting comments on fellow musicians posts/pages/events...can guarantee some scammer will tag me and post spam on it. Reporting daily is getting very tired. Yet another roadblock for artists trying to make a living, or even get their posts seen. This industry is so broken - for artists - and yet the industry continues to thrive and make revenue from artists. We need a revolution...fan education... accessible ways to increase discovery...effective industry oversight for everything from ticket gouging to royalty collection....aaaand spam/troll control. who will step up for us? #fanifesto

Men are 16 times more likely to target and kill In

Men are 16 times more likely to target and kill Indigenous women than Caucasian women. Read that again.

According to the National Inquiry, criminals take advantage of well-known police indifference in this area. The problem of Indigenous women being overpoliced and underprotected, across Canada, continues.

The National Inquiry found that these disproportionate acts of violence amount to a race-based genocide of Indigenous Peoples. Empowered by colonial structures, notably the Indian Act, Sixties Scoop and Residential Schools, these persistent and deliberate human rights violations are the root causes of Canada’s staggering rates of violence against Indigenous women and girls.

You can do this too! The 12 week Indigenous Canada course at the University of Alberta taught me so much, and helped with the writing of our Pigeon project. Why not make a move towards #truthandreconciliation by learning the history that was kept from us? Beats doom scrolling! -CVM

Indian Residential Schools run by the Canadian gov

Indian Residential Schools run by the Canadian government, in partnership with various churches, operated from the 1870s until the late 1990s. Rampant with horrific abuses this system forcibly separated children from their families and culture - for over 100 years. Their history, familial support, and any inheritances erased. This will take many more generations to heal.

'Canada’s child welfare system has replaced the residential school system' advocates say, citing a staggering lack of oversight, and chronic underfunding by the federal government to services, especially on reserves, leading to over-representation. Indigenous children now make up 68% of the children in provincial care in BC, despite representing only 6% of the population.

While often choosing to wear black on stage, Reido never gets to wear anything but black at his day job - except today! Standing up for Indigenous rights today and every day. Grateful to @lenjpierre for informative workshop, and glad to be learning more about #truthandreconciliation so we can move forward with some much needed healing and change.

Indigenous people have lived in the area now known

Indigenous people have lived in the area now known as BC for more than 10,000 years. They developed their own societies, cultures, languages and territories. It was thought that if the Indigenous peoples were removed from their land base and assimilated into the broader Canadian society, that all of the lands would be open for development, for the benefit of the Crown, and new Canadians.

Oh my heart. One of the finest rascals has left the bldg today. I've (CVM) known music journalist Lenny Stoute since I was 19 and hitchhiked from NS to Toronto's Yonge St. Always a gentleman to me, taking delight in our convos, from my scrappy youth at the clubs, to my time managing tech journalists, and was one of the few to celebrate my transition from fan and music industry admin, to artist and songwriter. Always giving me and Reido some much needed ink when he could. Loved his Lockdown book and had the pleasure of giving HIM a review. Like many veteran music hacks, Lenny had a passion for supporting indie artists - even when he had little to keep himself going. Goodnight old friend. Big love from yer fans CVM+Reido xo

Had a wonderful and tasty Fringe Artists Dinner last night (in honour of late Fringe super fan Diane Kent) and then leaned into our tech rehearsal at Zameen Art House. What fantastically kind and supportive humans run that sexy new space. We are again gobsmacked by the Fringe community and many volunteers that make this the perfect place to take risks and find our people. We are nervous and excited all at the same time. Who will join us for opening night this Friday??? Time to get yer Fringe on people!!
