#Canada/USA Border

[biophonies]

when I drew this comic 3 years ago I had NO idea how far it would reach. I'm happy to finally share a corrected version with proper abbreviations, and even MORE state names of indigenous origin ♥️

however, the goal of this comic was to inspire people to do your OWN research on indigenous history. To question everything we have been taught, and everything that has been pointedly left out. This erasure, this “forgetting”, of history is not just of the past… it is happening now. - Across so-called Canada, the US, and US-occupied islands, native women are victims of murder at 10-12x the rate of non-native people, and are the most likely to go missing without being searched for by the law. - Native reservations have the highest rates of poverty in the US, with over HALF of tribal homes with no access to clean water (with more joining this list by the year) - Native people are 6-10x more likely to be unhoused than the rest of the population, and native teens suffer suicide rates higher than any other demographic. This list of modern day genocide goes on (thank you for compiling @theindigenousanarchist <3) and yet take a look at those environmental stats!

Native people manage to do SO much for the planet as a whole - thanklessly - and with all this stacked against them. Don't even get me started on kin fighting in south america. Could you imagine if there was help? #landback is resistance to genocide, and it is the key to saving our warming earth.

So look into it and the other hashtags, cuz a cartoon goose ain't a substitute for a proper education. Love to my grandparents who always kept a map of tribal territories of turtle island on their wall, to speaking on our Tsalagi & Saponi heritage. Love & solidarity forever, happy research, and happy #indigenouspeoplesday

(Also, if you care to support the artist, I'm publishing a book ! and writing another - a fantastical afroindigenous graphic novel - that I post exclusively about with tons of other art on my patreon.)

BREAKING: Thanksgiving Terror Attack on U.S.-Canada Border, Car Explodes.

A vehicle crossing into the United States from Canada on the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls, New York has reportedly exploded. All four New York international crossing between the United States and Canada are currently closed as the incident is being investigated. Sources have told Fox News that the incident was an attempted terrorist attack and the vehicle was packed with explosives. This report has not been confirmed by law enforcement officials, however.

Both state and federal officials are said to be monitoring the situation and the FBI is on the scene. K9 units have been dispatched by law enforcement on either side of the bridge as a precaution. Media reports indicate at least one male has been taken to the hospital with injuries sustained in the blast and at least two individuals in the vehicle are dead.

on one hand i don’t think you can blame nick for any of the destroyer stuff in a way that would hold up in court (and I think he probably punishes himself about it enough already.) but. on the other hand. if biden’s nephew became friends with prince george, fucked off to england, killed(?) a bunch of his employees and vulnerable refugees, conducted what looked like bomb testing on american soil, and then everyone was like “it’s fine because He Was Possessed” you know i would start killing

The 1812 poll continues to educate me on more historical events and developments happening in that year; although I think that most of them (including the Anglo-American War of 1812) ultimately tie into the global conflict of the Napoleonic Wars.

The Anglo-American War of 1812 is sometimes regarded as part of the Napoleonic Wars, although some events (Britain and France harassing USAmerican shipping) are more directly tied to the conflict than others... sort of? The USA trying to invade Canada dates back to our war of independence, tbh, although in 1812 the hope was that the British would be distracted by Napoleon.

The Dey of Algiers in 1812, Haji Ali, also opportunistically jumped into the Anglo-American War of 1812 on the side of the British, creating an Algierian theatre of war in 1814-1815. Clearly this was related to earlier conflicts between the USA and the Barbary States, but like... entering the War of 1812, really???

The North American theatre of war is something that I increasingly see as a conflict not so much between British and American interests—or other European colonial powers, like Spain—but a settlers vs. Indigenous nations conflict that dates back to the Seven Years' War. What would become the northwest theatre of the War of 1812 involved US States and territories that were already militarised against Indigenous people.

The Oregon Treaty (June 15, 1846) established the 49th parallel as the border between the United States and Canada, from the Rocky Mountains to the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

I was having such a good day. I hate going to the doctor but I went and stood my ground about wanting a referral to a specialist ( one I've seen before and trust, ) I got McD's breakfast and watched Elemental with mum.

but then a letter I'd been waiting for finally arrived and suddenly I'm buried in bureaucracy.

I've met so many (ckn) Canadians who do NOT understand how our constitutional monarchy works.

AND they think our elections are a 2 party system. they don't know about the parliamentary system.

BONKERS!

DO NOT LET SOCIAL MEDIA TURN YOU INTO AN AMERICAN

Think about this. Trump, along with Republicans, is firm on the US and Mexico border wall and has all kinds of insults thrown at Mexicans, yet when it comes to the border between the US and Canada, they are silent. The difference is that Mexicans are part of the BIPOC community, and Canada is white people. Trump, Republicans, and their supporters are racists and xenophobic at the same time. They aren't worried about border security but about diversifying the United States. Don't vote for them.

The Convention of 1818 was signed between the United States and the United Kingdom on October 20, 1818, which settles the Canada–United States border on the 49th parallel for most of its length.

The White House is closely monitoring the situation; law enforcement is on scene and investigating.

The statement came after a “vehicle explosion” at the US-Canada border crossing near Niagara Falls killed two people Wednesday afternoon, according to CBS News.

The car was travelling on the US side, crashed into a customs post and ignited. The cause of the explosion is being investigated. A senior administration official described it as “more than a freak accident, but we don’t yet have details.”

The FBI Buffalo Field Office reported in a statement that the incident is being investigated in coordination with local, state and federal law enforcement partners.
