The 15-year-old boy from Samson Cree Nation who was shot and killed by RCMP Friday morning in Wetaskiwin, AB was Hoss Lightning. His maternal grandmother sent me this photo taken of him earlier this year (he’s asking his grandmother if he looks like his late grandfather in the photo he’s holding). He was loved and cherished by his family who are devastated.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team is investigating. RCMP have told media Hoss had weapons on him (although anything could be considered a weapon and RCMP have not released details). Hoss had called 911 about an hour before he was killed because he was concerned for his safety and believed someone was following him.
A kid. Alone walking around town.
His life snuffed out like countless other Indigenous Peoples who are the victims of the highest police violence in Canada.

Conservatives sell off our assets, starve institutions, attack unions & privatize services that should be public.
This anti-public sector agenda makes us all poorer.
A work in progress... but my grade 7s and I have enjoyed learning about agricultural innovations, upcycling, and urban horticulture while designing our vertical gardens 😊
Love that this is in the Aussie curriculum, and would love to bring this back to Canada.
It’s truly hilarious reading Pierre’s followers complaining about the capital gains tax. All of a sudden they have all this money to be concerned about. They’ve gone from can’t afford gas, groceries etc to oh no my $250k in capital gains 🙀what will I do?!
@Sflecce@MPPBarnesAjax Your real legacy will be how you actively worked against teachers and stripped students of necessary supports. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
BREAKING: the Conservative Party is in massive trouble. As suspected, China and India (probably why Poilievre/Cons rushed to take India’s side before it was publicised they murdered a Cdn citizen in Canada) interfered in and helped various Con candidates.

Schools are now structured so that the overwhelming number of student misbehaviors essentially have ZERO consequences.
This is horrible for teachers…but it’s even worse for the students who want to learn!
I am bloody fed up of Poilievre and the Conservative Party talking down our country.
I, for one, am very grateful and proud to live in Canada, one of the best countries in the world.
It's absolutely appalling to hear Poilievre say Canada is broken.
It's NOT. HE IS.
"Safe Supply" means exactly that. It means fewer overdoses, medical attention and life saving. It doesn't mean 'encouraging' addiction. Why are Conservatives so anti-science?
