If only. It's a phrase that plays over and over again in Eva Mamakwa's mind.
If only Indigenous Services Canada's non-insured health benefits program had arranged travel for just one of her four missed appointments, Miranda may be alive.

Her final social media post where she says ‘ if I die, go after then’ should be a rallying cry for all us.
Her three children deserve answers. And justice.

My friend @TanyaTalaga has written a must-read piece on Canada’s wildfire failures and the need for a public inquiry. I’d add: community runways are 3,500 ft, they need to be 5,000 ft and paved. This is central to the crisis.

Our hearts are with Chief Pauline Drake and people of Whitewater First Nation as they are now getting confirmation that their community has been destroyed by wildland fires.

We have some great storytellers out there.
