Here's what UNDRIP *actually* says in regards to situations like what's happening at Wet'suwet'en, Fairy Creek, etc.

Canada is NOT following any of this. We demand free, prior and informed consent - not governments hoping that RCMP don't use "lethal force" on us on our lands.

Over 1100 people have been arrested protecting some of the last remaining iconic old growth forests in British Columbia. It's the largest act of environmental civil disobedience in Canada's history.

@jjhorgan, #ActOnClimate, protect the irreplaceable.

The natural disasters in so-called BC mean that non-believers can't hide any longer. Climate chaos is now and is caused by colonialism, capitalism, and extractive industries. Indigenous knowledge, wisdom, leadership, & landback are the solution. pic by @CBCNews #BCStorm #BCFlood

Don't feel guilty for not writing everyday. Writing isn't just typing words on a screen -- it's reading and researching and daydreaming and having tea with your cake and collecting lovely things like enchanted swords and maps and little jars to keep all the souls you steal in.

“On our earth, before writing was invented, before the printing press was invented, poetry flourished. That is why we know that poetry is like bread; it should be shared by all" - Pablo Neruda

Yet another study confirms what our indigenous partners have demonstrated for thousands of years, and what we've repeated throughout our 20+ year history:

Defending the rights of indigenous peoples is key to protecting ecosystems and the climate.

Always love coming to @PointPeleeNP, even if just for a little while. A few photos from my visit a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful as always, with a touch of gold, as if King Midas had just passed through here

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

First Nations have faced a contaminated drinking water crisis for years. We need to ask why it is just an outrage when it affects non-Indigenous peoples.

DYK southern Ontario used to be home to a variety of habitats but today less than 0.5% of original tallgrass prairies and oak savanna remain? @OjibwayPark in Windsor is a great place to learn about these important ecosystems, also a great place for a walk https://t.co/x921wTrAFv
