Thanks to Indigenous Services Canada Deputy Minister Gina Wilson for a great discussion on the rich, multifaceted and growing relationship between indigenous people in 🇨🇦 and 🇳🇿, including on economic development, language revitalisation and cultural resiliency.
It has been the honor of a lifetime to represent British Columbia and work towards a more inclusive Canada. I am deeply grateful for the support of my colleagues, staff, and family. #SenCA#cdnpoli#bcpoli
for @thewalrus, I wrote about the misguided, self-serving attempts by Canadian employers to cover up their institutional problems by strategically positioning Indigenous people in front of them. https://t.co/knXRpkHoJD
Stop doing this:
-assuming all Indigenous groups (or most) have the same cultural practices. We don't all use tobacco or sage for prayers. I don't know any Indig group on the west coast that does.
-make sweeping statements about Indigenous ppl that assume cultural homogeneity.
.@JaniceCharette: "Too many good people who have put up their hand to make a difference to bring their experience and their knowledge to advance the public good have been subjected to attacks on their integrity and threats to themselves and to their families. This cannot continue. Let us take inspiration from the words of Theodore Roosevelt. It is not the critic who counts. We need to celebrate those that are actually in the arena, who do actually strive to do the deeds that spend themselves in a worthy cause."

To my fellow public servants, if you are physically in Toronto, please show up on April 2nd and show your support for the #BlackClassAction. It’s beyond time for the #GC to end discrimination. Also, tell your MPs it is time to settle the matter lawsuit instead of wasting over $10M fighting against it.
If you have and/or are experiencing anti-Black racism while working in the federal public service, please consider joining the @BlackClassActn 👉🏾 https://t.co/y2cAEJ7hOK.

But the problem is not and never was the Black executive, the problem is an organizational culture with a leadership structure and a way of working that is exclusionary, sexist, racist, ableist… such work cultures must be replaced.
Happy International Women's Day! 💜
Today is a great opportunity to revisit the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls' Calls for Justice. They are key to ensuring that all First Nations, Metis and Inuit women and girls live safe, dignified lives.
I just published A few truths about why we do #AntiRacism work… https://t.co/vIyK5JlgD2
👉🏿 anti-racism work is necessary to challenge the exclusionary systems and structures that hinder the career advancement and psychological safety of Black, Indigenous and Racialized people in the workplace.
Gaslighters may withhold key information or just communicate some information to keep the other person in the dark. You can be excluded from important meetings that are invaluable for the performance of your work👇🏾#work#gaslighting#psychologicalsafety https://t.co/TVjiFvNXCz
In support of the Clerk’s Call to Action to eliminate anti-Black racism and the government’s commitment to sponsor Black employees and support career mobility, PCO in collaboration with Black Executives Network/Le Réseau des exécutifs noirs (#BENREN) are launching the PCO’s Black Policy Leaders Development Program. This program will provide Black public servants the opportunity to acquire a wide range of experiences at PCO and the ability to play a pivotal role in influencing the public policy landscape. Participants may be given various opportunities to advance within the development program until graduation at the EC-07 level.

Decolonization is not a conference presentation, nor is it yet another article or book publication.
It’s about dismantling everything that prevents us from living with dignity in our own lands.
