Are these lawyers high? “In the filing, a team of five federal lawyers denies First Nations have a distinctly Indigenous interest in drinking water, asserting that FNs’ interest in their own reserve land doesn't include water because ‘water is not attached to land, but flows under and around it’"
Liberals continue court fight against First Nations drinking water rights, despite new bill | CBC News

Few people ever find a niche passion that intersects with a niche talent and at an age when they’re unapologetic about both. Before the world says “you should be embarrassed.” He’s gonna end up being a world renowned ornithological researcher or educator.
What a bunch of creeps and cowards.
So physicians refuse to treat paitents because those physicians want to be able to enter the USA? That is 100% unethical. What another country may do is none of your concern when treating a patient in the country you are licensed in. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is from a recent interview with our new Premier, who apparently thinks “skookum” is only used in the Yukon. I know he makes a big deal about being born and raised here, but apparently he has also never left the territory? 😂
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.
And then there were none. The Carney government has officially axed the Documentary Heritage Communities Program, the only federal funding for community archival programs. A drop in the bucket of the federal budget, but hugely influential for local archival and documentation projects. Sigh.

"The co-payment model is a scaled-back edition of the previous Conservative government’s failed attempt in 2012 to cut health care for refugee claimants from the “designated countries of origin” that Ottawa considered safe."
Here's yet another excellent test for Carney fans who consider themselves "progressive". This is literally a toned down version of a Harper policy. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

The next dumb ass who exclaims, “But it’s a dry cold!” as we dig out from under already the third significant snowfall of the winter is getting a slap upside the head and a screen taped to their face so they can observe humidity readings from Environment Canada.
The gauge has tapped out. The outdoor temperature is just LLLow.
The most beautiful way to find out that the weather is going to get even colder.
