Super excited about this exhibit! Over 10 years in the making. I think it may be the first of its kind. A traditional dog blanket exhibit with contemporary makers. 🤩

This one is an emergency so I agreed to help. This Native family from the U.S. needs help getting out of a dangerous situation. They need $350 to cover their room and food for the rest of the week until they can get a place. Please help them. PayPal/etransfer [email protected]
This is a group of folks deeply enmeshed within the residential school denialism movement, just FYI, giving further cover for the far-right false framing around media inaccuracies. Here’s what you need to know: https://t.co/CcSCBOkbb4
We are saying no to a data centre in Île-des-Chênes because there are big threats to the environment and not much benefit to the economy.
Our message to any tech company out there… if you want to build technology with a thoughtful, human-centred approach that puts humanity first, then Manitoba is open for business. 🦬
The only business I engaged in was selling my paintings. I averaged about $225k per year in income over the 4 years of my Dad’s presidency. Now you may be outraged by that but where is your outrage over Don Jr opening a private members club next to the White House called the Executive Branch club where the stated purpose is to rub shoulders with senior White House officials and Cabinet members. And the initiation fee is $500,000. Where is your outrage over Peter Navarro calling from inside the WH to push the Pentagon to grant the largest loan it has ever made to any company for a rare earth startup backed by Don Jr. Where is your outrage when Donald Trump took a Boeing 747 from the government of Qatar. Four hundred million dollars. Over a billion dollars in tax payer money for upgrades. The most valuable gift any foreign government has ever given the United States. And when he leaves office, it goes to his library.
He sued his own IRS for ten billion dollars and settled. And the settlement declares the IRS, and I am quoting the filing here, is “forever barred” from pursuing its audits of him, his family, and his companies.

Its infuriating to hear public officials say there are no health issues.. nuclear is being pushed everywhere. Since settlers are ok with poisoning Indigenous, maybe knowing this history on Port Hardy will cause you to pause? https://t.co/xWGPk7tRcg
My latest is out via Indigenous Insider, link below: June marks National Indigenous History Month in Canada. Established by the federal government in 2009, it’s a time dedicated to recognizing the rich history, heritage, and diversity of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
Now let me cut the crap.
Because the way I view it — the way I see it, what I report on, what I live — it’s a facade. It’s performative. And we will never get anywhere if we don’t get real.
If we don’t face what lies beyond the surface of June 21 Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations across this country. Put on a little powwow here and there. Crowds show up in solidarity, clap along. They did their part. Hurrah. No. That’s comfortable. That is convenient. You can wade through the waters of complacency because it feels acceptable there. And then you don’t have to face the reality of what is really happening in this country.

Anti-Indigenous hate is growing in Canada. People like this are fuelling it. Only white groups in Canada are coddled and protected against hate though. We’re witnessing it right now.

Why is it "acceptable" to provide less than POVERTY LEVEL financial support to Persons With Disabilities (PWD) in Canada in 2026? These are medically assessed & designated Disabled who are unable to financially support themselves through NO FAULT of their own!

Residential school denialism spikes at predictable times, anniversary of Kamloops announcement (May 27), Orange Shirt Day (Sept 30) etc. Denialists target these - rage baiting and cherry-picking to platform hate, as @Niigaanwewidam and I have pointed out: https://t.co/wydiotK5gg
