Regina is so lucky to have matriarchs like Mikki amongst us.

Imagine being stupid enough to live stream your pals mike young and Darin offen assaulting someone. 🤡🤡🤡

What an honour it was to stand alongside these folks.

We are still looking for marshals. It’s a really easy gig and an important way to show up for the community!

brutalized and imprisoned. Happy National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, hope you’re ready to do the work. 🔥

[Good Trouble Network YQR @GoodTroubleYQR]

On the national day for truth and reconciliation we wanted to remember the last day camp buffalo bones stood. The mayor wanted to commemorate NDTR on Wednesday- this audio is from that meeting. I know politicians think our memory is short, but we will never forget this day just

like we will never forget residential schools and the harm inflicted upon us by so-called Canada. We refuse to accept empty platitudes from cruel and callous elected officials. We are coming for everything stolen from us. Never again will we sit idly by while our kin are stolen,

Masters to decide for herself what to do rather than listening to the experts.. himself included. This is an egregious abuse of the chair’s powers and a perfect example of the environment that encourages and empowers our mayor to act as she pleases.

This is where Hawkins brings up the issue of recording. A few things to note, Hawkins has been a city councillor for over 10 years, he should know these bylaws like the back of his hand. Also of note is how certain Masters is of the rule. She does not consult legislation until

Leblanc challenges her. Here’s the second clip where the city clerk and the city solicitor step in to provide clarification and affirm Leblancs reading of the bylaw. At the end of the clip you can hear the city clerk say to the mayor “you can over rule it”, seemingly encouraging

To stop recording or leave. It is a slippery slope when administration decides who is considered media while effectively silencing anyone they deem outside the chosen few.

[Good Trouble Network YQR @GoodTroubleYQR]

Here is Hawkins demanding no community members record council meetings. Has he forgotten that filming is allowed in public spaces where there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy? Or that freedom of the press is protected under the charter? We have heard the argument that the

When an independent media person started filming at the meeting on Wednesday Ms. Anderson sent the commissionaires after them. The media person identified themselves as independent media which really confused him. After speaking with the city clerk the comm. said they still had

This piece compiled by @abirlios a couple days back is illuminating and worthwhile. An encampment is a product of multiple massive societal failings, but the mobilization and potential for change it represents is intolerable to the economic and political order that produces it

These deaths were preventable. There is safety in community care. Sandra and her goon squad using safety concerns as the reason for clearing the plaza seems pretty fucking rich now.

2 people from city hall have passed since the camp was torn down. We weren’t being dramatic when we said the decision to displace folks would have dire consequences. The blood is on your hands Regina.
