@steeletalk It takes a non athlete to be clueless about not giving the opposition bulletin board material. DT provided all the motivation Belgium needed to crush their opponent last night as the world cheered on.
So grateful to facilitate all indigenous focused curriculum @JIBCnews with police recruits as a member of @surreyps. 2 days of indigenous cultural safety scenarios with wholesome discussions.
Today's workout in Croatia is sponsored by Duffin's Donuts. A great family owned business at 41st and Knight St in Vancouver BC. My VPD family knows it well.
@RandipJanda "What's the problem boys? TSN will still give me the stihl performer of the night even if Connor gets 8 points."
"Whatever bro' I got 99 points this year. It should be me"
"I scored a nice goal tonight! It should be me."
@WadeGrant@sophielui@musqueam@GlobalBC@globalnews Love love love that man! Was so fortunate to spend yesterday sitting next to him to learn and also to share a laugh or two while listening to his stories.

Powerful 3 days @BCFNJC forum. Connecting with the hundreds of hummingbirds placing water on the fire that is the impact of the justice system on indigenous people in policing, corrections, courts and child welfare.

Despite calmly repeating she was coming from a drug and alcohol free event she was made to provide a breath sample. Shortly after another participant shared a similar story with me. Let's be #better#caring#compassionate#humans. @Korywilson@AngelaSterritt
To my LE family,particularly @LangleyRCMP if you pull over an indigenous family tonight and the answer to "how much have you had to drink?(#biasfree ?) is "we are coming from a powwow which is drug and alcohol free" move on from your investigation and ask about the event.
Grateful that a powwow official trusted me and referred the family to share a tearful story. So maddening to hear and thankful to be partnering with @BCFNJC developing #indigenous#cultural#s afety training.
