Taylor Swift Opens Toronto Concert With Land Acknowledgment
Tim Rice, Daily Wire, November 14, 2024
Taylor Swift kicked off her Toronto concert Thursday night with a “land acknowledgment” a common practice among left-wing activists who believe they live on “stolen land.”
“We acknowledge that we are performing today at Rogers Centre, located on Treaty 13 lands,” read a graphic projected on stage before Swift’s performance. “We acknowledge the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples whose original and treaty territories we stand upon.”
Treaty 13 refers to the Toronto Purchase of 1805, in which the British government purchased the land that is now Toronto from the Mississauga tribe. {snip}
