As National Day for Truth and Reconciliation approaches. Book speakers, elders, smudgers, dancers and drummers ahead of time. Don’t wait for last moment. And pay these people for their time, expertise, their sorrow, and resilience. Pay them transportation and food as well.
As National Day for Truth and Reconciliation approaches. Wear beaded items. But learn the difference between cultural appropriation and appreciation.
As National Day for Truth and Reconciliation approaches. Encourage people including yourself to read the call to action from the final report.

Not sure nepotism is the best governance model for Canadian maritime policy.
Jeff Doctor@jeff.doctor · 3w ago"As the country's ocean envoy, Fox Carney will "'advance Canada's leadership by connecting ocean conservation, climate action, Indigenous leadership, economic resilience and maritime security,'" wait wut?
Carney's priorities should be plainly obvious for ALL Canadians after this week. It was ALWAYS and ONLY going to be "elbows up" for corporations, executives, and their billionaire owners. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #CDNPoli #ABPoli #ABLeg

Hey, Libs. We are not talking about criticism of Trudeau’s socks, scandals, or whatever the hell got caused you continually cult up to StandWithTrudeau. We’re kinda talking about the turning of the privatization screw under Harper’s favourite banker, among other things. Update the cult please.
🚨 I don’t know how to explain hunger: my children await a meal that may not come. I fear for Mahmoud; his infected wound threatens his life. Sham cries from fever and pain. We’re not asking for luxury—a chance to see another day. £200 could give my family that chance😭💔 chuffed.org/project/omsh...
Om jameel:The building next to our tent was bombed,&our tent was destroyed;now we are homeless&without shelter. My heart feels like it is stopping from the pain compounded by my existing heart condition.My kids are now hungry&displaced. Please save us with $200 for a tent chuffed.org/project/1839...
💔 Please don't ignore my brother Marwan's post. He was injured in the war, and shrapnel is still lodged in his pelvis. We urgently need surgery and treatment costing $200. We are helpless. Please help us. Don't forget the people of Gaza. 🙏💔 chuffed.org/project/moh01
I've given birth via C-section. A week later, my health deteriorated from surgical complications & infections. I urgently need support for medical treatment, milk, & essential supplies for my baby. Any help could save our lives. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 ✅Molly Shah chuffed.org/project/save-a-mother-and-fetus-in-gaza
It's so funny to me when people try to defend Carney's terrible decisions by pointing to his economics education. Yeah. Because no one with an engineering degree has ever built a skyscraper or bridge that fell down, and no one with a medical degree has ever left a sponge in someone.
You know what other dystopian abyss we really need to stare more resolutely into right now? We are not doing anywhere near enough to protect civilians from drones.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.com · 3w agoCombatants are hunting civilians from the sky with small drones more than ever before - and the international community isn’t doing enough to stop it. My latest on the ways we can protect civilians from drones, written with Nathaniel Raymond of @hrl-yalesph.bsky.social :
Om jameel:I am writing to you while feeling as though I am dying my kids&I are now sleep on the street after our tent was destroyed.I cannot scrape together the $200 needed for a tent;my kids&I are wasting away from hunger,&I suffer from a heart condition Don't let us die chuffed.org/project/1839...
My brother Marwan will be undergoing surgery to remove shrapnel and needs an MRI. We need $230 to cover his medical expenses. Time is of the essence and any support or contribution will make a huge difference. Please help us reach this goal and pray for his speedy recovery🤲🏻 chuffed.org/project/moh01
Om jameel:After our tent collapsed due to the shelling,my heart already ailing ached with pain.Exhausted and starving, my kids collapsed by the roadside,weeping for a tent&a bite to eat.I still need $150 for a tent and some food; please do not let hunger overwhelm them😭😭 chuffed.org/project/1839...
🆘 Mahmoud is slowly dying. My daughters are sick. We have no food, no medicine, and no safe place to stay. Every day I tell my daughters that tomorrow might be better. I don’t know how many tomorrows we have left. Please don’t scroll past us as if we don’t exist. 💔😭 🌟 chuffed.org/project/omsh...
74 fossil fuel and mining projects. 74!!! 7 with wind. 3 that mention solar. 0 geothermal. If this is Canada's investment pitch to the world, wind, solar, and geothermal aren't part of the plan! They're an afterthought at best!! CBC's independent review of the same prospectus is here:

Warning: Shrapnel removal surgery is extremely dangerous! My brother Marwan urgently needs this critical surgery after suffering severe injuries. We need $250 to cover the treatment costs and save his life. Please help us; we need your support. Please don't leave us alone🙏 chuffed.org/project/moh01
My brother Fouad points to his eye, but the real wound is deeper. It's the pain of blindness, the fear, the uncertainty about tomorrow. How does my brother bear this? We need more than just help; we need peace. Fouad deserves all our attention.🥹🥹🥹 chuffed.org/project/moh01

Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 4w agoWhen disabled people oppose Assisted Dying, it’s almost never from a religious point of view. It’s not because we’re anti-choice or that we want to force people to suffer. We oppose it because society devalues disabled lives and uses these programs in an unethical manner. They become eugenics. 🧵
