Ultimate Canada Journey: 10 Stops You Need to Make

[determinate-negation]

What about Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Austin, Dallas, Portland, Seattle? Those all seem like good cities to live. Also New Orleans, Pittsburgh and Minneapolis. People who like Ohio are big fans of Columbus and Cleveland.

But tbh I currently live in a "city" in a state that borders the great Canadian province Manitoba so like everything seems like the cradle of civilization in comparison

Sorry for the long list lol, don't you think they have their charms?

im in new orleans right now 🤠 its been really nice to visit but i just cant imagine living here. i was born in atlanta so i love it but again its not a city like nyc is. not been to many of the others but im just not really a fan of this country tbh. and its kind of surprising that anyone would consider pittsburgh a desirable place to be lol

[mysillytdsideblog]

Hello! I am in the middle of a td hyperfixation, and my brain has chosen Mike and his system as The Precious, so I was super happy to see a blog producing content for my beloved. For a question, because I'd like to see another hc/idea, what do you think happened that landed their system in juvie?

Sorry if you've already discussed this somewhere!!

I think Mal was the host during this time, I think he wanted to be in juvie a bit just to get away from his parents but was mad that he couldn’t do whatever he wanted to do.

Mal got them landed in juvie in the first place. He was a very reckless petty criminal but got away with most bc he was good at manipulation, which he learned from trying to survive his abusive parents.

Then, one day Vito got into a pretty public fight with someone, Mal came out and resisted arrest too. Both Mal and Vito acted very rude in probation and broke the rules of it a lot. Mal leaning more towards petty theft and Vito towards picking fights. Obviously they found out, and he got sent to juvie.

They didn’t know they were a system before they had a court ordered psychiatrist visit them in juvie on account of staff noticing he has a “possible trauma disorder” because he was having PTSD episodes and switching a lot (it wasn’t as obvious, but his opinions and reactions kept rapidly changing).

I think Mike was scared out of his MIND!!!! He didn’t want to be there at all. He didn’t even feel like he deserved to be in there because he was following rules and doing what he needed to do, he didn’t know about Mal and Vito breaking rules at that time but once he found out he was even more confused and scared that he was having these blackouts. He thought he was secretly evil or something.

Mike actually fronted a lot in juvie. Mal used this to his advantage to gain people’s trust to get closer to them.

Mike doesn’t like the fact he was ever in juvie. He keeps it as a secret because he’s extremely conscious about his image. He feels like his mental problems and family issues are enough to drive people away, he doesn’t need more of a reason for people to leave him.

Manitoba wasn’t created yet, Chester was aware of everything and he complained about it all the time, and Svetlana was too scared to front.

Vito was annoyed to be in Juvie but he was very social in it, which was a good and bad thing. He met a lot of people he got along with, and a lot he didn’t. And Vito has a problem with anger and fighting, which got them a lot longer of a stay. He made quite a lot of friends despite that, none of which he ever saw again.

Mal wasn’t keen on making friends, he preferred to get to know people only so he could use them to do his bidding, get him things, and make living there easier for him. He used people for money a lot and stole from his “friends”. But he always kept buddy-buddy with them out of obligation.

He did find tormenting those who already didn’t like them fun. He had a lot of pent up aggression from dealing with abuse, and took it out on those around him. He would do just horrible shit that would intimidate anyone from messing w/ him.

Duncan was SCARED of him. He totally didn’t cross his path unless approached, which he was only really asked for money and supplies which he always gave them.

Mal was sooooo theatrical. Obviously, his signature whistle that he would do walking down the hall. He also did it when he was about to confront someone, so thats how people would know shit was about to go down.

People stayed away from Mike a lot because they knew what would happen if they didn’t. Mike was very lonely and he didn’t like Vito’s friends at all so he would try to avoid them. He just assumed they wanted something from him, he didn’t know they were already established friends with him.

A lot of people think Mal lost a tooth in a fistfight, but honestly I see it more as his parents never giving him dental care. (Image of baby eating sand with the caption I let him eat sand because I dont like him)

His parents called him in juvie, mostly to yell at him for being such a bad child and “ruining their family”. Mal didn’t let this bother him, but Mike took it hard and hated himself.

Mal never wanted to leave juvie, it was like a vacation from abuse. At Vito’s age the abuse towards him had already stopped but he was glad he didn’t have to see his abuser(s) on a regular basis.

When they were forced to get therapy, Mal told everything he knew in order to hopefully bring his parents to justice, but he only got a diagnosis out of it.

not your founding father (mouthpiece)

My thoughts on Louis Riel being named first premier of Manitoba.

Taanshi kiyawow, Riel dishinikashoon. I descend maternally from seven Métis families from the historic Red River Settlement in Manitoba and Batoche, Saskatchewan. Notably, my Berthelett ancestors worked for the North West Company and were community leaders in the Métis settlement of Pointe a Grouette before it was systemically overtaken by French settlers who claim we formed no roots in the area (St. Onge). My Caron ancestors from Batoche fought in the North West Resistance alongside Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont. My fifth-great-uncle Jean Caron Sr. fought alongside his sons at the age of 52; his house still stands in Batoche to this day, where thousands of Métis make pilgrimages every year to remember the events of 1885. 

What do you know about Louis Riel?

I can only read his words and imagine what guidance he would have provided had he lived longer than 41 years. Or imagine myself in his place as he walked to the gallows on November 16th, 1885. As a child when I visited Manitoba my grandpa and my kokum would take me to visit his grave, just as they did with my mother, who named me ‘Riel’.

We are inextricably linked through time and across our homelands. What’s in a name? Unasked for? Not yet earned? I do not yet know who I am to my people but I carry an important name and the trickster’s spirit, and with these comes the responsibility of understanding and revealing cultural and societal truths (Stimson).

I am still growing into my name

Today I am a mouthpiece

An interpreter of the past

What do you know about the trial of Louis Riel?

July 31st, 1885, Riel gives his final speech. Historical weather data shows that it was a hot day in Regina. Cooler than the days before but still hot with the swelter of the plains. He spoke long, in English, not the language of his birth.

“The day of my birth I was helpless and my mother took care of me although she was not able to do it alone; there was someone to help her to take care of me and I lived. Today, although a man, I am as helpless before this court, in the Dominion of Canada and in this world, as I was helpless on the knees of my mother the day of my birth. The Northwest is also my mother; it is my mother country and although my mother country is sick and confirmed in a certain way, there are some from Lower Canada who came to help her to take care of me during her sickness and I am sure that my mother country will not kill me more than my mother did forty years ago when I came into the world, because a mother is always a mother, and even if I have my faults, if she can see I am true, she will be full of love for me.”

“When I came into the Northwest in July, the 1st of July 1884, I found the Indians suffering. I found the half-breeds eating the rotten pork of the Hudson Bay Company and getting sick and weak every day. Although a half-breed, and having no pretension to help the whites, I also paid attention to them. [...] We have made petitions, I have made petitions with others to the Canadian government asking to relieve the condition of this country.”

“We have taken time; we have tried to unite all classes, even may speak, all parties.”

“During my life I have aimed at practical results. I have writings, and after my death I hope that my spirit will bring practical results.”

“When we sent petitions to the Government, they used to answer us by sending police [...] There are papers which the Crown has in its hands, and which show that demoralisation exists among the police, if you will allow me to say it in the court, as I have said it in writing.”

“If I am blessed without measure I can see something into the future, we all see into the future more or less.”

“The only things I would like to call your attention to before you retire to deliberate are: 

1st That the House of Commons, Senate and Ministers of the Dominion, and who make laws for this land and govern it, are no representation whatever of the people of the North-West.

2nd That the North-West Council generated by the Federal Government has the great defect of its parent.

3rd The number of members elected for the Council by the people make it only a sham representative legislature and no representative government at all.”

“I have never had any pay. It has always been my hope to have a fair living one day. It will be for you to pronounce - if you say I was right, you can conscientiously acquit me, as I hope through the help of God you will. You will console those who have been fifteen years around me only partaking in my sufferings. What you will do in justice to me, in justice to my family, in justice to my friends, in justice to the North-West, will be rendered a hundred times to you in this world, and to use a sacred expression, life everlasting in the other.”

What do you know about Louis Riel?

I have done this walk in my mind so many times that I have lost count. Historical accounts of the day note that it was a chill, clear, autumn morning. The prairies stretched out, silver frost bathed in sunlight. He faced it all and was brave until the end. Despite reports of it being destroyed, former premier of Manitoba Duff Roblin and his family, and the RCMP gloat over the supposed fragments of the rope that hanged the traitor, and I wonder how long the rope would be if you lined up every single scrap of twine rumoured to be the noose that killed Riel?

Does it make you feel less guilty to call him a founding father? Canadians are only able to remember him through his murder and not through his words that can still animate his presence. Written words and objects once owned are ghosts, extensions of our bodies and spirits. When I read his letters and journals I see the urgency in his penmanship, and I think about the sweat and invisible oils of his skin becoming a part of each page as he wrote and wrote and wrote. I wonder where each journal travelled with him during his exile, and why he chose each book. There is one with an illustration of a guardian angel watching over two children, and I wonder if he thought of himself as one of them being shepherded through life by his ancestors. 

Canadians argue about whether or not Riel should have been hanged instead of talking about what he had believed and said and accomplished, and what he wanted to do with the rest of his life had it not been cut short. 

No one talks about his dreams or his fears, and he did not live long enough to answer the question of if he would have wanted to be revered as the first premier of Manitoba. Or, in response would he ask for clean water for all, to stop the sweeps, and starlight tours? Would he ask for the Winnipeg police to search the landfills for our murdered women instead of brutalizing and killing us? Would he call for an end to all colonialism and genocide? Or would he simply ask for a place to smudge and be in peace for a while?

When we send petitions to the government they still answer us by sending the police, before turning around and calling Louis Riel a founding father (Riel).

Canada cannot answer these questions for him by giving him that title posthumously, only sit with the discomfort of blood-soaked hands, and wonder how different things would have been had that sacred fire not been snuffed out in 1885.

I cannot answer these questions for him either

And I am still growing into our name.

East Manitoba: Winnipeg

After leaving Kenora and driving into Manitoba, the forest gives way to the Prairies and quickly there's no tree in sight! The famous big skies were blurred though from yet more smoke so not getting the pretty views but rather feeling like the sky was leaning down... 🤔

After checking in at the AirBnB, I went over to Harman's parents' house where I had stayed in 2017 when I was here for a canoeing trip & of which I have great memories so it was fun to go back & meet his parents again! The house was decorated for the upcoming wedding celebration and full of relatives that had come in from all over, and it was great to see Harman and meet his wife Ankita and their little boy Mir... they were married 3 years ago during covid but couldn't celebrate it with friends & family so now it was the occasion to have everyone together. When I received the invite, I hadn't made any plans yet for the roadtrip so this was a perfect event to plan my trip around!

As anyone knows who's been to one, Indian get-togethers tend to be quite chaotic 😁, so had fun conversations over delicious (& not too spicy) appetizers but darted home at 11pm before dinner was served 😅

Next morning, I did the first car wash since the trip started so now the car looked slightly less dirty (although it will need a power wash to remove all dead bugs 🥴), and then I went downtown to the Forks going back to what I loved most when I was here previously; lunch at the Commons Market and then a visit to the Human Rights Museum, going progressively from dark to light to its Tower of Hope. I had stayed here for 5 hours last time, learning a tremendous amount about Canadian human rights issues that as a newcomer to the country I was not aware of, so wanted to revisit now I've lived here longer and became a Canadian citizen. Every nation has skeletons in the closet they prefer not to talk about, but it's important to be aware of all history, the good and the bad, to truly appreciate the place you call home and be more socially aware of how governments take care of its people. I would dare other countries to follow suit with a similar place of human rights education & reflection!

On the way, I ran into two familiar faces; my old Sumach street in Toronto and Mahatma Ghandi, who I just read a book about 😃

I had been instructed to show up early for the wedding ceremony, so I donned the dress that I had sent in advance to Harman's mum to keep it clean from camping smoke and dirt 😆 and made my way to the pretty gardens of The Gates on Roblin by 4.30pm.

As for a traditional Indian wedding, we danced in the courtyard while the groom made his entrance (with their little son as the best man 😍) and then attended a lovely ceremony followed by a reception, delicious dinner and fun dance party. I got no pics apart from the video-booth below as I was too busy enjoying and meeting interesting people while shaking my best Indian moves 🤣 on the dance floor... it was a really fun night! 🤗

"It is significant that it was militant socialists – the radical One Big Union [OBU] – who had first invited Marshall Gauvin to Winnipeg, and that Gauvin’s first lectures, like those of Joseph McCabe, took place under the auspices of the ongoing OBU Forum. In March 1926 R.B. Russell reported to the OBU leadership that he had been in contact with “Mr. Gauvin of the Rationalistic Society in Minneapolis,” and suggested that he be invited to appear at the forum. McCabe’s recent popularity had helped inform Russell’s choice, as did the idea that Gauvin could potentially fill in for McCabe in a dramatic debate with fundamentalist leader William Riley. Gauvin’s lectures were promoted on the front page of three consecutive One Big Union Bulletins and were followed up by highly positive reviews summarizing what he had said.

Even before the arrival of McCabe or Gauvin, there had clearly been a lot of enthusiasm in the OBU for an anti-religious message. Significantly, Russell had long since rejected the Presbyterianism of his youth. As historian Peter Campbell writes:

Although respectful of his wife’s religious beliefs, Russell himself stopped going to church at some point in 1912 or 1913. His move away from the church is evidenced by the fact that the first Russell child, Margaret, was baptized, while the second, a son, David, was not.

Attacks on Christianity as well as news stories showing religion in a negative light were common in the pages of the Bulletin. Announcements of Gauvin’s first few visits, for example, appeared alongside detailed coverage of the ongoing Anthony Bimba case. (Bimba was a Lithuanian-American communist who in 1926 was tried on charges of blasphemy and sedition in the state of Massachusetts for publicly saying God did not exist.) In another issue an article criticized religion on five counts: that it was, broadly speaking, “fictitious, childish, anti-scientific, murderous and reform[ist],” the last charge being the gravest insult of all in the Marxist vocabulary of the OBU. Socialism, the writer asserted, was “the very opposite,” because it was “scientific.”

In the pages of the Bulletin, the defence of science was also considered essential to the war against capitalism. An article entitled “The Master-Class Viewpoint of Evolution: A Sore Point with the Bosses,” for instance, highlighted the opposition of Manitoba’s provincial Conservative Party to teaching evolution in the schools, which it linked to the shared interests of churchmen and capitalists. The Bulletin regularly published McCabe’s columns on evolution, religion, and history. While it was not always stated explicitly, the socialists of the OBU seem to have regarded evolution with a sense of proprietary defensiveness. Although the visions of cosmic evolution common among early Canadian socialists between 1890 and 1920 were slowly fading in the 1920s and ’30s, there seems to have been a residual feeling that biological evolution somehow underwrote social evolution, which in turn implied the inevitable triumph of socialism. To demonstrate biological evolution was to prove social evolution; an attack on one was an attack on both. More generally, evolutionary thought and a greater scientific understanding of deep time relativized and undercut any claims that existing social structures were natural or unchanging. Thus, socialists in the OBU provided an eager audience for McCabe and Gauvin to prove the reality of evolution over and over again. In 1928 the Bulletin proudly announced that after McCabe had lectured in Winnipeg, its city libraries were overwhelmed with requests for books on evolution.

In the relationship between socialism and secularism, however, tensions and contradictions sometimes turned fractious. To begin with, militant atheism in the Winnipeg OBU could hamper union efforts elsewhere to organize workers for whom religion was important. Russell’s long-time secretary, Mary Jordan, described in her memoir of his work the effect of anti-religious rhetoric on OBU activities in Quebec. When McCabe visited Winnipeg, she wrote, the

OBU Bulletin began reprinting his lectures on evolution, headlining them in glaring black letters about Religions vs. Atheistic Principles. Nothing else could have so hindered organizers of the OBU from making progress in Montreal.

Although rank-and-file workers had favoured OBU policies, the Catholic confessional unions were able to present themselves as defenders of the faith and argue that the OBU was creating religious dissension. Organizers in Quebec “threw up their hands at each issue of the OBU Bulletin. They were through.” Jordan cited Gauvin as one of the rationalist speakers subsequently sponsored by the union in Winnipeg. She felt that Russell was not entirely aware of the effect that anti-religious argument had on efforts in Quebec but noted that the union’s constitution was eventually changed to forbid “discussion of religion on the floor of the Labour Council.”

Jordan’s account is corroborated by OBU records, though some events may have taken place later than she remembered. The minutes of the union’s joint executive board meeting for 2 April 1927 refer to “questions raised by some of the organizers in Montreal, re. the religious attacks in the O.B.U. Bulletin, stating that the information gathered was that it was detrimental to the activities of the organization.” The matter was investigated and discussed at a later meeting, but the officials present seem to have been somewhat puzzled by the claim and thus dropped the issue. At a meeting in October of the same year, however, it was resolved that the Bulletin “eliminate as much as possible religious discussion.” In December 1927 union officials deemed their efforts in Montreal to have been a failure and withdrew their organizers. The situation in that city was complex, but Jordan was correct in recalling that the Bulletin’s anti-religious stance in those years sometimes hurt the union’s cause.

Gauvin’s relationship with the OBU began to fall apart around the same time the union’s mission to Montreal did. This had less to do with his anti-religious message, however, than with his beliefs about economics. A few months into his second season of lectures (1927–28), he gave a talk entitled “Labor’s Reward: A Message of Hope for All Workers.” He predicted great improvements in machinery and production that would enable goods to be manufactured in large quantities. The resulting economies of scale would mean that companies would reap large profits, enabling them to pay high wages. In order to open up markets for their products, employers would have to pay workers well, and workplace councils would enable employees to deal collectively with employers. The end result would be prosperity and greatly reduced work weeks for all. Gauvin’s idealistic vision was decidedly not that of the Marxist OBU, which considered fierce struggle between owners and workers to be inevitable.

The ensuing controversy between the rationalist and his socialist allies is illuminating; its details highlight some of the deep disagreements among different varieties of Canadian unbelievers. Soon after Gauvin’s lecture on economics, the OBU Bulletin featured a letter to the editor from a writer identified as “D. McA.” He opened by establishing his long-time status as an atheist but then criticized the rationalist’s lecture for being no better than empty metaphysics. His main accusation was that Gauvin had said “there should be no such thing as a class struggle.” In the Bulletin’s next issue, Gauvin retorted that he had been misrepresented; what he had said was that “there is no necessary war between Capital and Labour.” He challenged “D. McA.” to disprove this statement, but not simply by “mentioning the name of Marx, as though that name had in it some divine magic.” He went on to accuse the letter writer of merely substituting Marx for God. Gauvin denied that there were only two main classes in society and that it was in the best interests of them both to wage war on each other. Furthermore, he argued that his opponent’s viewpoint grossly underestimated the power of religion. The rationalist project of enlightening the people was still a vital one, regardless of what economic determinists thought.

Around the time of this first exchange, OBU insiders began to express discomfort with Gauvin’s seeming betrayal of the workers’ cause. At a meeting of the OBU Central Labour Council, it was revealed that he would not sell OBU literature at his meetings because the manager of the theatre at which he spoke would not permit it. Nor would he hold his fundraising drives at the OBU Hall, because he felt this would alienate half his audience. One comrade replied in disgust that this was a poor excuse because, when Gauvin had recently asked his audience where they had heard of his meetings, the “overwhelming majority” had cited the Bulletin. Another speaker added that he was “more convinced than ever that Gauvin was doing the labor movement harm instead of good.”

Meanwhile Gauvin’s rebuttal in the Bulletin did nothing to settle the matter. The next issue of the paper featured two lengthy columns attacking him. The first, “The Shoemaker to His Last,” accused him of provoking a hornet’s nest of controversy among workers; the general consensus on the workshop floor, it pronounced, was that he did not know what he was talking about and was overstepping the bounds of his competence. It went on to deliver an extensive lesson in the labour theory of value and the history of classes. The second column was an editorial conveying the official opinion of the Bulletin. It expressed some surprise that an enlightened man such as Gauvin should fall into the trap of believing in free will. Under capitalism people were shaped and forced into certain class roles, regardless of their intentions. “While capitalism endures,” the editorial asserted, “there will be two classes: one owning because they cannot do otherwise, and the other working, because the economic system condemns them to that task.”

…

And so it went. The two blasted away at each other in ever-longer columns. Roberts [an OBU member who took the lead in attacking Gauvin] labelled Gauvin a naïve utopian socialist who ignored hard realities and dispensed “foolish sentimental soporific platitudes” derived from “romancing troubadours” like H.G. Wells. Gauvin shot back that there had been socialists before Marx, and that Marxist theory had long since been superseded; no living scientific economist accepted that there was one over-arching class struggle going on in the world, and to imagine that an all-out class war would result in peaceful change was foolishness. Gauvin wrote:

I have no love for dictatorships of any kind. And I am satisfied that a dictatorship of the ‘proletariat’ would be about the worst thing that could happen to the workers.

A better world was possible through progressive, directed change. If Roberts wanted to call that prospect utopian, so be it.

…

Silence seems to have been Gauvin's choice. At a meeting of the Central Labour Council on 21 March 1929, “Comrade Ashton of the C.P.R. [railway worker] Unit” suggested that, “because of Gauvin’s persistent evading of the issues raised his articles should be cut out of the Bulletin entirely.” Lestor expressed the opinion that “the controversy between Gauvin and Roberts had done good as it had created interest.” It was later suggested that a public debate be arranged. But it was not to be.

Comrade Mace … reported he had talked with Gauvin re[garding] a debate with either Lestor or Russell, and while he was not unwilling to debate yet he felt it could not be made to pay; in other words, he felt there would not be enough interest shown in it.

Nevertheless, it was decided that a formal letter should be written to Gauvin, inviting him to participate in a debate on “the Class Struggle.” He seems to have turned the offer down. His advertisements kept appearing in the Bulletin, but only until the end of that lecture season in June 1929. He never advertised in the Bulletin again; this may have been one reason that he would later prove so sensitive about his ads being reclassified by the Free Press and the Tribune."
