@sneakysneak1981 Amy Tuckett-McGimpsey, I've been emailing @MBGov Cabinet Communications since June 25. It's about the upcoming landfill search. Can someone reply to [email protected]? And add me to media advisories coming from [email protected] as well.
To end systemic racism and ensure justice for #MMIWG2S, legacy media must change how they report and how they engage with community & #indigenous journalism peers. More work is needed in #Winnipeg & beyond. Speaking from first hand experience. #cdnpoli#mmiw#searchthelandfill
NEW: Our investigative fellow @CDGreenfeather is on the ground in Winnipeg today, as Jeremy Skibicki was found guilty for the first degree murders of Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran, Rebecca Contois and Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe.
In-depth feature with @IndigiNewsMedia coming soon.
The media has been waiting for the defence to come outside. They must have slinked their way out the back door. Round dance at Portage & Main for 2 p.m.
Joyal and the crown prosecutor will meet in next couple days to confirm a sentencing date. The families' impact statements must first be prepared before the actual sentencing.
These crimes have had an "impact on the Manitoba community," said Joyal. He described the details shared throughout the trial as being "excruciating" for the families of the women.
It was mentioned how the room was smudged with sacred medicines this morning. Justice Glenn Joyal is now summarizing what happened. Joyal will later release over 100 pages of the decision. Today he gives the oral verdict.
