"The fact that Carney’s Liberal government has designated this pipeline as a project of national interest in spite of the over 110 First Nations' expressing concerns or complete opposition to the project is not only unacceptable, but in violation of Indigenous laws, Treaties and the Rule of Law."

if it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander except if it’s bad for the orcas, it’s bad for EVERYONE

Hypocritical politicians are a vile stain on Truth & Reconciliation day. Shameful.

My ‘Atsoo attended Lejac Residential School (Photo 1) until 8th grade. She was “named” number 89. My mother and her siblings would later attend Lejac day school because my ‘Atsoo was recovering from tuberculosis.

“King said economic reconciliation can’t be achieved until Indigenous groups no longer have to fight for their rights and their land in court.”

OTTAWA – When Wilton Littlechild was co-chairing the landmark Truth and Reconciliation Commission more than a decade ago, he thought a lot about the idea of economic reconciliation and how it could help transform Indigenous communities.

24 workshops, keynote with @naomiaklein.bsky.social and @keeanga.bsky.social, plenaries with the brilliant @parismarx.com, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social, Sarom Rho, @samelou.bsky.social, and @janellelapointe.bsky.social. I haven't seen Toronto on its feet so much in years. www.manyvsmoneysummit.ca

The Many vs. The Money - Counter-Summit & Demo

A counter-summit and protest against the privatization of Canada's public infrastructure and resources. Toronto, September 12–14, 2026.

manyvsmoneysummit.ca

This weekend we organized a counter-summit to Carney's fire sale of resources & public infrastructure. The rooms were overflowing and alive with movement energy. Then we marched, led by Indigenous leaders, took the barricades for hours and danced. Colonialism, neoliberalism, fascism: NO to it all.

Doug Ford metaphorically shit all over the Bloor bike lane, and now we have Toronto Police horses *literally* shitting all over the Bloor bike lane, putting our taxpayer dollars to work, protecting the world’s 200 richest CEOs arriving to Toronto to buy Canadian infrastructure and public services.

Looking to raise the last $270. This is your chance to do economic reconciliation better than the government! Support a little homegrown Indigenous food sovereignty for my rural living family. If you have learned something from me and have the means I’d appreciate if you sent a few bucks.

Raising $ to pay for upgrades to my sister’s chicken coop. Raising her own chickens really helps her with high cost of groceries. I’m covering $250, and looking to raise $500 more. Please share and e-transfer to janellelapointe@gmail.com if you are able.

International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples should be a day of celebration, but the choices our government is offering Indigenous Peoples is difficult to ignore. Read the full story online: https://dsfdn.org/carney-elbows-in

My latest piece! ✍🏽 “A country is not a corporate portfolio. Indigenous rights are a critical line of defence against unchecked corporate power. When the elements of life that we depend on are treated as assets to be unlocked, everyone and everything, except the investor, becomes expendable.”

Janelle's required reading if you really want to understand how terrible the Carney government is

Thank you to @avilewis.ca , @jphornick.bsky.social @janellelapointe.bsky.social and @naomiaklein.bsky.social for your work educating, empowering, and informing us this evening. Hope is not lost. We can still mitigate the worst of this climate disaster and repspect workers with a Green New Deal.

The Notre-Dame burning got more attention than Indigenous communities burning to the ground. LA burning got more attention than Indigenous communities burning to the ground. Toronto air quality is getting more attention than Indigenous communities burning to the ground.

Highlights from Toronto’s powerful People’s MOU action 🔥 Toronto Danforth and Taiaiako’n Parkdale High Park! 👉On June 25th 2026, 40+ communities participated in the People’s MOU national day of action.

They didn’t choose the North route because they think it’s easier to push it through the South, not because they respect the tanker ban or Indigenous jurisdiction btw. No route is a good route for a bitumen pipeline.

I love the solstice & being Indigenous.

Canada loves to bring out moose iconography to show off its nationalism as if the project of Canada isn’t irreparably decimating the moose population.

Starting Day 4 of PPT on Missing Indigenous Children and Unmarked Burials with genocide and crimes against humanity expert witness, Fannie Lafontaine. What is genocide? “This definition, as restrictive as it is, encapsulates the violence committed by Canada against Indigenous people.”

Industry talking candidly about “economic reconciliation” not because of some sort of decolonial awakening, but because it speeds up approval times and reduces political and regulatory risk and therefore protects their bottom line. Check out the full article at: www.desmog.com/2026/05/21/e...

❗️NEW- What does 'Economic Reconciliation' mean? According to industry representatives, it means faster approval times for fossil fuel and mining projects.
