In late March, the FSIN called on Street Culture Project to finally take some accountability for its treatment of First Nations people in their shelters. The @SaskDispatch was the first outlet to report on the deaths of the youths mentioned here. sasktoday.ca/regina-today/re…

If Canada Post disappears expect your free + convenient Amazon delivery to suddenly be neither free nor convenient.
Canada Post should be very careful... - Amazon delivers right to our front door and not half a block away at a postal mailbox - Switching to receiving electronic bills was easy - We don't miss having to recycle junk mail flyers - Tax payers might realize no one misses them

So much pain in this province's systems for our families. I am growing so tired of the deaths, preventable deaths. We love our families, we are moving mountains to keep loving them when everything is designed to kill them💔🪶
