I saw yesterdays post and started looking into it because I found the whole situation baffling and then found the globe and mail article and thought I would share because the guy's comments were not racist or even bad.. the media just framed them that way for clicks

here it is :

He took issue with how Ottawa and Ontario have handled the evacuations of First Nations, and what he said was a negative impact on tourism.

“The whole evacuee situation with the Indigenous is not being handled properly by the federal and provincial governments,” Mr. Todd told council, adding he believed those levels of government had failed the evacuees.

“We want to be the jewel of tourism in Ontario, and unfortunately, a lot of the residents and people will see Indigenous people on the streets walking around, thinking they’re homeless people from this community, and they’re not. And I think they deserve better. I don’t think children deserve to be playing their recess time in a parking lot beside the casino,” Mr. Todd said to council.

He suggested evacuees be relocated to “some purpose-built kind of facility in the province where they can go and have a sense of community and not be forced to relocate into hotel rooms across the province.”

Mr. Todd recommended the municipality demand the federal and provincial governments reimburse the municipal and regional governments for the costs of hosting the emergency evacuees, including for “enforcement and emergency services, social and public health services, municipal operations.”

National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak of the Assembly of First Nations said in a statement Monday that she was deeply disappointed by the remarks.

“This evacuation is already traumatizing, and many now feel unwelcome in the city that was supposed to be a refuge,” Ms. Woodhouse Nepinak said.

I'm wondering if I am the only one struggling with her acting???

idk if its because she's so young but its just not reading as genuine for me?

I don't think the writing does her many favours but something between the way her character is written/her acting is just not landing for me

I somehow don't see this changing much
