the july 1st 2018 reading at Trinity St-Paul's Church conflated past and present.

it made visible the violence that has been and that still is.

about two-third into the extremely hot and humid afternoon of reading, a noise came down from the balcony of the church. Up there were two men. one was a church staff person, white, and the other was of Indigenous ancestry. i could only see their shoulders and head. the white man was behind the Indigenous person, forcefully pushing him towards the stairs of the balcony. the Indigenous man resisted but in the end surrendered.
