Trump's threatened 25% tariff on Canadian goods could begin as soon as Feb. 1. What if a 230-year-old law could allow Indigenous businesses to develop an inside track and sidestep the whole thing? Some are saying it's time to test the Jay Treaty. https://t.co/rCQIqh3ql5

We stand in solidarity with @IPCOunified and are deeply disappointed by yet another delay tactic by Canada in the human rights hearing. Indigenous police deserve equitable funding and recognition now—not endless postponements. https://t.co/G8B4tM2o6e

A scheduled three week hearing before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to hear a complaint filed by Indigenous Police Chiefs of Ontario (IPCO) has been delayed.

Canada is here to lend a helping hand. Canadian water bombers are already in action on the front lines in California. I have also asked @ParksCanada firefighting resources to be on stand by, should additional resources be required.

It was an honour today to celebrate a historic moment as our service, the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service became a service under the CSPA; it’s no longer just a program. For over a decade we fought for the same standards of policing and it felt good to get to this finish line.
Today leadership from across NAN territory participated in a historic announcement as the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service has become the first legislated Indigenous police force in Ontario. Read the full release here: https://t.co/oamyd8Pbbg
