So, the CBC has a radio program called Reclaimed. It's a program for contemporary Indigenous music an is hosted by Jarrett Martineau. Part of CBC's own description of the program includes this:
Equal parts celebration, resistance, and reclamation
This past weekend he played a song by Handsome Tiger. You might be able to view the playlist here - but it might also be scrubbed. If you close the playlist you'll notice that this one show is not on the list, even though a more recent one from the 10th is listed (at the time I looked).
The song in question that sparked this censorship? RIVER 2 THE SEA. It's just been scrubbed. Dropped into the memory hole. Apparently reconciliation for the historical and ongoing genocide of Canada's Indigenous populations does not extend to allowing them to express solidarity with Palestinians.
