S2 E 12: How to Be a Better Canadian—An Ally Gives His Perspective, feat. Darryl Lagerquist
Show Notes

Serious about living in a country that can move beyond its colonial machinations? If so, get out of your comfort zone, take some steps to learn about Canada's Indigenous peoples, and advance your own conciliation journey.
Those are some of the suggestions business and policy analyst Darryl Lagerquist offers, during a wide-ranging chat with hosts Jessica and George.
Darryl, who has government and private industry experience, says the country faces a "wicked problem," as one elder put it. That would be the one tied to various broken relationships, promises, and programs between Indigenous peoples and their colonial guests.
Think of them as multiple strands that are going to take generations to disentangle, Darryl says.
If you want to get to work, here's a good entry point—the final episode of our sophomore season.
