Did you happen to listen to Ontario Today this afternoon? Metis artist Christi Belcourt had a few sad, angry and yet-hopeful things to say about Governor-General Johnston's verbal "mistake" re: Indigenous peoples in Canada during the course of the phone-in.

I'm also noting Rick Salutin's remarks in the Toronto Star today on the subject.
