I'm grateful for the chance to share our family's story & talk about the impact of inter-generational trauma, and the removal of Indigenous children from their culture & community. Thanks to everyone @TheAgenda, especially @namshine for guiding the conversation with such care.

This is blatant anti-Indigenous racism. Intentionally designed to stoke further hate and garner support from his base so he can justify ramming through his agenda. This is text book Doug Ford. Let’s not take the bait, as enraging and hurtful as it feels rn.
Premier Doug Ford to First Nations: "There's going to a point where you can't just keep coming hat in hand all the time to the government. You gotta be able to take care of yourselves." Ford points to the gold mines and critical mines: "You're saying 'no, no, I don't want to

So uh @PierrePoilievre used John Dunsworths likeness as Jim Lahey (Rest in peace John 🫡) in one of his agitprop pieces this week. Small problem, John ran for the NDP decades ago and was a raging progressive who championed socialized medicine, the CBC, the arts & gun control

Weird choice of headline considering she won by 2,600 votes. The pc on Hamilton mountain won by less but OK.

This is how developers do it. They get road blocked by the community. Then decide to put forward their own candidate to push through changes in their own interest. @shaw_sandy is the candidate of choice in Hamilton West Ancaster Dundas to beat Conservative donor candidates.

Strategic voting doesn’t work. A great reminder that academics have looked at the hard data and found these efforts failed.
Does strategic voting work? The hard data says no. @Prof_Savage's article unpacks failed efforts. https://t.co/6g9YW1qARE

#NEW Ontario First Nations sue the federal government over alleged deadly underfunding of fire protection on reserves. "Canada cannot treat First Nations people living on reserve as if their lives and safety are worth less." Latest with @UofT_ijb

Indigenous Services Canada said fire deaths on reserves are "deeply concerning and highlight the urgent need for better fire protection."

As an Indigenous woman who was part of a political party’s senior leadership, I can see that Crombie et al seemingly lack an Indigenous lens, or the willingness to apply one You really need to engage people with diverse lived-experiences in the work Her tweet is insensitive 🫠
Across Canada, six Indigenous people lost their lives in events involving the RCMP over just 11 days. National Day for Truth & Reconciliation is on Monday. Meanwhile, Team Bonnie’s out here like: Lℹ️BERAL ❤️ THE RCMP Good grief. #onpoli

Newly elected members of the French parliament refusing to shake hands with the far right is extremely satisfying. A particular shout out to the rock paper scissors gag.

As a mom, a community member & a voter, I’m shaken by this report coming out of the @UofT_ijb. The fact that addressing this critical health risk to children, teachers & education workers isn’t a top priority for @fordnation is shocking. #hamont #onpoli
Fallout from the @UofT_ijb analysis of lead in Ontario school and daycare drinking water: major media, politicians and parents asking why dangerous levels of a neurotoxin with long-term health impacts continue without response or accountability. https://t.co/fa1hKR8Cts
