EXCLUSIVE: Within the whites-only Active Club network, we found that their recruiters were actually the Vinland Hammerskins, one of the most violent old-school racist skinhead groups active in Canada. 🧵https://t.co/u1vSrVjH0a

@thenarwhalca @balkissoon @sharonjriley Trust us. Have we ever lied to you before? (Why would we, eh?)

Any Canadian who is interested in how their country’s capital functions on the global stage, and how affected countries are trying to resist this neocolonial domination, should eagerly follow new developments in the case. https://t.co/6Jztsc6PAp

Here’s @CH_Cartoon’s take on the election.

[John Fugelsang @JohnFugelsang]

Republicans warned people of death panels if they trusted Obama.

Now Idaho has death panels.
Because people trusted Republicans.

The Native Women's Association of Canada sent a letter to Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett this week citing concerns after a non-Indigenous man was appointed as executive director of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Secretariat.

In the wake of children found in unmarked graves in residential schools, First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples are still not among the top election issues. Let’s change that b/c government injustice continues when governments think no one cares.

If bringing peanut butter to a classroom/playground isn't safe ( & nobody screams foul for sacrificing personal freedoms), how is it fathomable that bringing Covid-19 is ok by declining vaccines? Vaccines for health care, education workers is a must. Period.

Hundreds of graves were found at another forced assimilation school for Indigenous children in Canada — weeks after remains of 215 children were found.

150,000 children were held in the mostly Catholic-run schools, thousands dying from abuse.

The church has never apologized.

So Stephen Harper says Canada lacks skilled labour and it could hurt the economy. If he were talking about politicians like himself, I’d heartily agree. #cdnpoli

You can feel the great life that was in this fallen giant. What an undignified end to so magnificent a living thing.

Great take on racism. Very nuanced. Specific. Important. Acknowledging history. Systems. Reality. Words have specific meaning. Beautiful.
