I read what he said and I used big brain energy to conclude that MB's premier is reinforcing the colonial, heteropatriarchal, racist, and sexist narrative of Canada. To clear things up, we would have survived without settlers stealing our land.

Manitoba's premier is standing by comments he made that many criticized for suggesting colonization was done with good intentions, asking people to read what he said and draw their own conclusions. cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/…

With everything going on and the world legit burning, I really miss my Elder. She is a Survivor and has taught me to be compassionate, patient, and find the good in everyone. I love this woman and can’t wait to hug her again.

“To give them skills and abilities that they would need as society moved forward” we were doing just dandy before “Canada” stole our lives and now idk how my language, hunt or fish.

“The first step to reconciliation is truth—and it’s essential that the Premier and his Ministers first acknowledge the truth of the genocidal intent of residential schools in Canada.” ~#MKONorth Grand Chief Settee responds to appalling comments made by new #Manitoba Minister
It warms my heart knowing that I’d probably never own my house with this current government 🙂 thx JT

Since 2000, housing prices in Canada have risen the most in the world. While PM JT recognizes Canada is in a housing crisis, his half measures have failed to stop this crisis from growing. After only 6 years in power the housing crisis has only gotten worse for families. 1/3

As we wrap up #PrideMonth, we must remember the roots of #Pride & recommit to always fighting for what's right We all must call out discrimination and hate wherever we see it That includes putting an end to the blood ban and conversion therapy in Canada ndp.ca/endtheban

Settler Canadians must pause & reflect on the ongoing genocide against Indigenous Peoples. On #CanadaDay, let’s address the truths of our country & commit to respecting & recognizing that there is no Canada without Indigenous Peoples.The Ombud’s statement: bit.ly/3jwLujI

Dear Settlers, 1. Read the #RCAP report. 2. Then read the #TRC reports. 3. Then the #MMIWG report. In that order. (links below)

Canada is a scam and we shouldn’t celebrate a nation that refuses to act, protect, and listen to Indigenous peoples. Canada’s whole “legacy” is shameful.

“I can’t stay silent when people want to cancel Canada Day.” Conservative leader Erin O'Toole took aim at those calling for Canada Day to be canceled in the wake of graves discovered on the sites of multiple former residential schools in the country.

You know I’d be on the line this Thursday. Indigenous kids need to be in their homes, in their communities, in the arms of their loved ones, not in court.

I really don’t want to hear about settlers being so heartbroken and hurting over the findings of how horrible residential schools were. Quit centring white feelings during Indigenous tragedies.

The horrific news of the 215 children found at Kamloops Residential School has shaken our region. People want searches of the grounds of residential schools their families were abducted to. The Feds must pull out all stops. There must Truth for there to be Reconciliation.

This morning my mama told me that one of the youngest was suspected to be 3 years old. My aunties were 3 when they were kidnapped and my family is still grieving. If people still can’t accept that this was an act of genocide then, idk m8

More powers for police won’t stop this virus. Vaccines and paid sick leave will.

The Speaker just ruled that the Liberal's failure to provide clean drinking water to First Nations by their self-imposed deadline isn't an emergency. But it is. First Nations deserve answers from this govt over their failure & a timeline for when it will be solved.

Shoutout to @nikiashton holding the Liberals, the Speaker and @JustinTrudeau accountable for the continued failure to protect First Nations. We need a government that actually cares for human rights. #NDP #LiberalLogic #JustinTrudeau

Check out @WPSNCanada's new publication, "Reflections on Canada's National Action Plan on #WomenPeaceSecurity: Gains, Gaps & Goals" 🕊️ I was privileged to write a piece on the inclusion of #LGBTQ women and girls in the #WPS Agenda! 🌈
Canada continued failure to support First Nations, of a basic human right, must be placed on the international stage. Thank you, Niki for backing Tataskweyak Cree Nation. #LandBack #cleanwater #IndigenousPeople #UnitedNations

Replying to @nikiashton
I've written a letter of support for Tataskweyak Cree Nation that they've submitted to UN Special Rapporteurs to demand international action on Canada's failure to provide clean drinking water to First Nations. nikiashton.ndp.ca/news/lette…

When your political strategy focuses on personal attacks of individuals that usually means that you don’t really have anything important to say. Always important stick to the facts!
