@NellyFrancis5 Right I looked this up many episodes ago. Seems like a lot the way it’s presented.

dear indigenous men, just in case no one told you today, you’re important and you matter and your feelings matter and we care and love you.

The request was for him to apologize on behalf of the Catholic Church-not personally. At minimum a solid reason for not issuing an apology should be given. https://t.co/IyHfEUz3U9

6-#JordansPrincipleFacts In light of substantive equity (making sure those who are disadvantaged have the same opportunity to succeed), Jordan's Principle covers services even if they are not provided to other children.

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

5-#JordansPrincipleFacts Canada must not delay payment for services for a First Nations child due to procedural matters or red tape. In most cases, payment must be approved within 48 hours.

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

4-#JordansPrincipleFact Jordan's Principle applies to more than just health services. It applies to education, early childhood, child welfare, mental health and other services kids need. Refer a case 1-855-JP-CHILD 24 hours a day

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

2-#JordansPrincipleFacts You can refer a child in need 24 hours a day 7 days a week 1-855-JP-CHILD In the vast majority of cases you should get a decision re: federal funding within 48 hours

1- #JordansPrincipleFacts Jordan's Principle applies to all First Nations children on and off reserve and to all services kids need.

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

3- #JordansPrincipleFacts Jordan's Principle is the law- it is not a program. It requires that First Nations kids get the services they need when they need them

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

Do you know a First Nations child or youth living on or off reserve who needs a public service or medical/educational equipment? Call the new 24 hour Jordan's Principle reporting line at 1-855-JP-Child
