Recognized since 2015 through the efforts of former senator Ngo, Journey to Freedom Day honours the more than 2 million Vietnamese refugees who fled by sea and were welcomed to Canada following the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War.

I think if more people took the time to understand the differences in responsibilities for Federal vs Provincial gov’ts, they wouldn’t be crying about a 4th Liberal term

WPS program helped to bring women to the negotiating tables to end violent conflicts around the world… Why? Because actual data shows that when women are included, more sustainable peace is more likely. The cost to DOD was about $5 mil a year (BTW that's 1/14th of the cost of the F-18 now with the fish the Red Sea).

To be clear, under Trump’s first term:

➡️ Signed the WPS Act into Law (2017)
Trump signed the WPS Act of 2017—making the U.S. the first country in the world to legislate a (bipartisan) national commitment to the WPS agenda.

Not a Biden initiative… WPS Act was signed by Trump during previous term.

The US funding freeze threatens the existence of Myanmar’s independent media, whose absence would widen the information void left by the junta’s crackdown on the press.

More than a month after Myanmar’s deadly earthquake, many families are still waiting for aid.
Victims and aid groups tell RFA that the military is blocking relief efforts, forcing supplies to go through junta officials.

Mandalay: One Month After Deadly Quake

Mandalay, Myanmar’s second-largest city, bore the heaviest toll of death and destruction when the 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on March 28. The regime has not updated casualty figures for the city since April 4, when 2,122 deaths were recorded. That number has likely risen significantly in the past few weeks.

One month on, today the city is a world away from returning to normal. Most displaced residents are still living in tents, while workers and heavy machinery grapple with mountains of debris. Water sources are contaminated, and shared temporary toilets are overwhelmed. Dysentery is reported in several areas, with the risk of infectious disease outbreaks rising sharply, according to the WHO. Watch post-quake scenes from Mandalay on Monday to see how the city is still reeling from the disaster.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) stated the quake was /7.7 magnitude/was followed by a powerful aftershock. The epicentre was about 17.2 km from #Mandalay. Now we are seeing the updates of collapsed buildings in Mandalay, Shan State/ Inlay/ Bago/ Mawlamyine

[Burma Campaign UK @burmacampaignuk]

Governments and agencies wishing to help the people of Burma following the earthquake must understand that there are multiple administrations in the country as people resist Burmese military occupation. Assistance should not be limited only to Burmese military occupied areas.

A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar and surrounding region Friday afternoon. Videos shared on social media showed the iconic Sagaing Bridge, aka Ava Bridge, collapsing. Strong tremors were felt as far afield as Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

🇲🇲 🚨Earthquake in Myanmar.

The junta has declared a state of emergency. Despite this, the Myanmar military is continuing to carrying out a nationwide attack, including airstrikes + blocking of aid.

Our team @FortifyRights is monitoring. Please DM if you need info.

[Hnin Zaw @hninyadanazaw]

Early reports indicate extensive damage throughout #Myanmar caused by massive earthquake around 12 pm local time.
Old #Sagaing bridge (the Ava bridge) a historical landmark built by the British in 1934 is seen broken down and also many buildings, photos by locals.

Mandalay faces the worst earthquake in history.

Refugee-led schools are pillars of #Rohingya education in camps, ensuring safe access for girls & quality learning.

While volunteer teachers deliver formal education with dedication, NGO schools struggle with inexperienced teachers. These schools deserve int'l recognition!

🚨 BREAKING: Victory for Wing Chief Sleydo’ (Molly Wickham), Shaylynn Sampson, and Corey Jocko as BC Supreme Court confirms RCMP violated their Charter rights during the 2021 Wet’suwet’en pipeline blockade.

A BC judge found RCMP breached Charter rights during the 2021 Wet’suwet’en pipeline blockade arrests. Justice Tammen ruled that officers made racist comments about sacred Indigenous symbols - specifically mocking Sleydo’ and Shaylynn Sampson for wearing red handprints, which represent missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

Justice Tammen ruled RCMP illegally:
- Entered structures without warrants, using chainsaws to break in
- Made racist comments mocking sacred symbols of MMIWG
- Showed “systemic attitudinal issues” within their pipeline enforcement unit (C-IRG)

The court acknowledged this is part of a pattern of systemic racism against Indigenous women in the justice system. While the contempt charges weren’t dropped, the judge ordered reduced sentences due to these serious Charter violations.

This ruling validates what land defenders have been saying all along about racist and illegal police conduct during pipeline enforcement.

“They were all raped and then they set fire to the women’s wing. They all died afterwards.”

Hundreds of women were attacked during a mass prison breakout in Goma, DRC, after Rwandan-backed M23 rebels seized the city. UN blocked from investigating.
