Colonization road - Uncensored version


In towns throughout Ontario, there are startling reminders of the colonization of Indigenous territories and the displacement of First Nations people. Anishinaabe comedian and activist Ryan McMahon takes us to his hometown of Fort Frances and down its main drag, which is called Colonization Road. Similar streets have similar names in towns and cities across the province, direct reminders of the Public Lands Act of 1853 and its severe impact on First Nations, their treaties and their land in the name of "Canadian settlement." On his journey through Ontario, McMahon explores the history of these roads, meets with settlers in solidarity and raises significant questions about "reconciliation" and what it means to "decolonize."

Le bateau magique

Pearson, Kit, 1947-


Traduction de: The magic boat. Tous les matins d'été, la jeune Ellie se rend à la plage en compagnie de Nonna qui, étant gée, reste sous le parasol pour lire son livre. Si la fillette s'adonne toujours à toutes sortes d'activités, elle finit par se lasser, de sorte que Nonna lui propose de se joindre aux autres enfants qui jouent sur le sable. Mais Ellie est timide et n'ose pas approcher personne, jusqu'à ce qu'une petite fille un peu plus gée qu'elle lui propose de monter à bord de son bateau magique. Si celui-ci ne ressemble qu'à une vieille barque bleue enlisée dans le sable, il se transforme en dériveur muni de voiles orangées, en montgolfière ou en sous-marin pour permettre aux deux filles d'admirer les beautés de la nature. Quand la dénommée Piper lui apprend qu'elle doit retourner à la ville avec sa famille, Ellie pense qu'elle devra de nouveau passer ses journées à s'ennuyer, mais elle pourrait surmonter sa gêne et convier d'autres enfants à un voyage mémorable.
