"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war." Watch Martin Luther King Jr.'s Nobel Peace Prize speech, where he accepted the award on behalf of the American civil rights movement: bit.ly/3bJCQuc #MLKDay

The saddest part about Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s passing is that there’s a whole generation that will never see his early acting brilliance on the Cosby Show because of what that terrible man did. They won’t be able to watch reruns or watch it on streaming to truly appreciate him 🥺

Yesterday, I delivered my statement in the Senate Chamber in Michif, the language of the Metis Nation. I hope this historic occasion will show Michif children across the Homeland that there is a place for them in every decision-making space, even the Senate of Canada.

So, you failed civics, don’t know how the system works and you’re a sitting MP? Cool cool.
Mark Carney is officially the Prime Minister of Canada—without being elected by Canadians. Canadians deserve a leader they choose, not a Liberal insider chosen for them.

A thread to read!
In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

Does anyone know about the LECA process in Ontario? I’ve been bumped from the new process for my police complaint. Got screened and moved forward to investigation after refusing early resolution, and now I’m getting pressure to do early resolve rather than investigation.

I wonder how the implementation of the recommendations from the Systemic Racism in Policing in Canada: Reporting of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security is going. Cause this was back in 2021 to address the rampant racism and RCMP use of force against Indigenous & other racialized groups. Yet there’s a crisis of police violence unfolding right now. ourcommons.ca/Content/Commit…
