Here are the graves. This Orange Shirt Day we are returning the Brandon Indian Residential School cemetery grounds to the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation on behalf of many First Nations whose children are buried here. This is one of the most well documented burial grounds at a residential school in Canada with not only church and historical records but also contemporaneous newspaper articles describing what happened to these children. You can not deny history. #orangeshirtday #everychildmatters #truthandreconciliation #trc #herearethegraves

You know who was pretty quiet today regarding the masked white supremacists mobilizing in Kamloops with residential school denialism on the eve of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation? @PierrePoilievre. Here he is posing with the group's founder.

If you mismanaged money, signed bad deals, and ran up the office credit card at work – you'd probably lose your job ❌ In Doug Ford's record-oversized cabinet? You get a promotion 💼🤝 It's just a big game of musical chairs to them, doing as little as possible whilst wasting your tax dollars 🪑💸 They're trying to change the channel from scandal after scandal: but we know we can't trust these guys 📉

The Ontario Liberals spent 10K promoting inaccurate projections from @338Canada instead of promoting their ideas and values. People want to vote for something, distrustful of this kind of cynical approach.

During the Hamilton by-election, the Liberals spent ~$10K on Facebook ads alone to suppress the NDP vote with 338Canada “projections” misrepresented as polls. Just like in 2018, realizing they couldn’t “stop Ford,” the OLP targeted the NDP instead reddit.com/r/Hamilton/commen… #onpoli

Premier Doug Ford and federal ministers just streamed an announcement that looked a lot like a press conference, but didn't actually invite any reporters. "Thank God, we don’t have the media. No questions, no answers. We are good to go.” #onpoli

This is your regular reminder that the Marten Falls Community Access Road is a community access road to Marten Falls First Nation and not a road to the proposed Ring of Fire mineral deposit.
A historic day for Ontario: construction is underway on the Marten Falls Community Access Road, a key link to unlocking the Ring of Fire. As President Trump wages economic attacks, we're protecting Ontario and creating jobs by unlocking Ontario’s critical minerals. @fordnation

Tonight we mourn the loss of a remarkable leader. Joan Phillip was utterly devoted to making life better — for her neighbours in Vancouver-Strathcona, for Indigenous youth, and for working people across the province. She spent a lifetime at the front of the fight for justice. Now, it is up to all of us to carry her powerful legacy forward. I’m sending strength to her partner, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, her family, and everyone whose life was richer with Joan in it.

As much as vladdy’s performance this season has been disappointing, it’s not lost on me how much more intense the vitriol towards him has been compared to any other player on the team that’s been underperforming.
Over a decade ago I wrote about Jose Bautista and the experience of Latino players on the Jays in the context of Canadian multiculturalism. I think it still speaks to the vicious backlash Vladdy is facing from fans. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1…

I still call it Skydome, so good luck with that.
NEW - Trump signs an executive order to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America. While the President cannot legally rename the lake, the executive order can require U.S. federal agencies to use the name "Lake America"

"Find out who you are. And do it on purpose." Dolly Parton was one of those people... one who you were convinced was an angel on earth. She seemed too talented, too happy, too beautiful, too kind, and just too good to be true. And she was, but we enjoyed every second of it. I don't blame God and Carl for wanting her back. Thank you for everything Miss Dolly. You did an unforgettable job during your stay here on Earth. We'll love you, forever. 🦋

Ottawa won't disclose how much money Canada has spent fighting First Nations in court over their rights to safe drinking water and housing. "The federal government is spending money on keeping First Nations poor and sick," said Chief Elvin Flett. cbc.ca/news/indigenous/canad…

I’m old enough to remember when @fordnation claimed “not one single person will be laid off when I become premier," Doug Ford lied.
