Interesting points, articulated much better than I could (or dare risk.) However I don't think the author is particularly familiar with Vancouver despite the example given, in part due to the awkward "Vancouver, Canada" (missing the province is a surefire way of telling someone isn't from Canada) but also because BC is rife with the type of performative land acknowledgements and guilt mentioned in the rest of the piece. The Squamish Nation developments are fantastic and I support them wholeheartedly. But they are a minority case in a sea of government-endorsed (mandated?) performative gestures.
