[Ads-l] Heard today in an academic meeting

[Ingrid Johnsrude]

“Cream rises to the crop” 

A conflation of "cream rises to the top" and "cream of the crop” I suppose — has anyone else heard this?

Western University is located on the traditional territories of the Chonnonton, Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee and Lenaape Nations, connected through the London and Sombra Township Treaties, and to the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum. My position as a professor at Western is the result of privilege I experienced as a white settler Canadian, within colonial structures that continue to harm, ignore and disadvantage Indigenous people. I commit to amplifying voices of Indigenous people, and appreciate the opportunity to live and learn on these traditional lands in mutual respect.
