‘A course of political correctness’: Ontario town votes against acknowledging they are on Indigenous land – National Post
Coun. West, who tabled the original motion, said land acknowledgments are increasingly common as a direct offshoot of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission
An Ontario town has rejected a motion to open all its council meetings with an acknowledgment that the proceedings are taking place on lands held by Canada’s Indigenous people.
A councillor in the town of Richmond Hill, Ont., first tabled the idea at a meeting in February, only to encounter pushback from councillors and see the motion deferred to a later date.
