You likely already know @JamieSmallboy who is a powerhouse community leader. Jamie has informed so much of my approach and work at the school board. Jamie’s support fires me up to do more at the #VSB with the @OneCityVan team!!

Hotel employee Raymond Rachal tried to exercise his RIGHT to cancel a white hotel guest's stay for spewing racial slurs at him, but Ft. Lauderdale (Fla) PD officers allowed the man to STAY & Rachal was attacked, arrested & charged for defending himself!

#landback provides clear and direct responsibilities for every elected leader from truth-telling to decision-making - thank you to @Withloveamber1 @trentderrick11 and @MrMatthewNorris for your generosity in providing a strong foundation at #HighGround2022 @CivicGovernance
Such a pleasure to speak alongside @trentderrick11 and @Withloveamber1. Big thanks to @reddyforchange for moderating. Municipalities have a big role to play in the #LandBack movement and the implementation of #UNDRIP.

Thank you to Lacombe High School for the amazing day at the naming ceremony of Okimaw Askisis Garden. On this International Day to end racial discrimination, we were honoured to share our songs and dance with you. Students were thanking us even as we were leaving.

Shameful.
Cuz a bunch of kids in fringe chanting “scalp ‘em Indians, scalp ‘em” is honor, right?
And any Natives who attend @pngisd should prolly just accept their classmates dehumanizing them cuz “tradition”, right?
Shame on @DisneyParks hosting this. Nostalgic racism is RACISM.

A FortisBC sponsored curriculum? No thank you. Young people, educators and communities are calling for #climatejustice. BC curriculum should support these calls, not obscure it with corporate motives. #bced
“Seeing the extremes of #ClimateChange just compounding to seeing basically the promotion of #FossilFuels to my child—for me, it just was a call to action,” says parent calling for a ban on #FortisBC school curriculum described as propaganda. #bcpoli timescolonist.com/local-news…

Great group of teachers!
We so appreciate you, @MJosephineSmall, for coming to @IREC1 today to share the Turtle Island Map with us. Again you’ve helped with deepening our understanding of Indigenous history. 🧡#FNMI @WCPS72 @Blackfalds #Blackfalds #wcps5in5

Took me 3 days of starting over and tearing it apart but finally finished my bone cape. I love it!

The first nations searching for the children in mass unmarked graves are recovering the bodies of family members,it is not a project,they are not attention seeking,this is not made up. The church and state stole,abuse,raped and murdered our children, then got rid of their bodies!

Anyone else wondering why Canadian media isn't doing enough reporting on the racist atrocities Black and Brown people are experiencing at the borders? We can speak up against war & racism at the same time.

Mississauga MPP @NatKusendova was one of those people who tried to silence @birgitomo for sounding the alarm of the discrimination happening in #Ukraine.
I hope & expect that this elected official has offered up an apology to Birgit.

People with disabilities are still bearing a disproportionate impact of the pandemic. "Back to normal" can't be back to ignoring their voices.
Ableism is thinking their disability is the burden, when it's our ableist public policies that are the burden.

Russians can no longer pay for Netflix and Spotify with their bank cards, they also can no longer use Apple pay or Google pay. Before we get rid of cash and go fully down this path, it's worth thinking both about the fragility of the system, and who can turn it off and on.

The AFN won’t have to change the acronym on all their letterheads because it will soon stand for the Assimilated Former Nations.

58% steel being used to build #TransMountain is @evrazna. Their annual report shows 63.44% of company is owned by 4 well known Russian oligarchs with ties to Putin (also fyi 95% of the employees of the co are in Russia). Putin's pipeline? Your tax dollars at work Canada. #cdnpoli
