Just a friendly reminder to Canadian politicians and Canadians. The ONLY reason Canada exists is because my ancestors agreed to international “peace and friendship” Treaties. Condoning and participating in a genocide isn’t “peace”. I do not support genocide. #CeasefireNOW
November 8 marks Indigenous Veterans Day. To honour Indigenous soldiers who served during the Second World War, a group of Indigenous individuals created the Indigenous Legacy Project.

Breaking - Federal Court approves for First Nations children, youth and families in the amount of $23.4B. Thinking of all the victims and looking forward to seeing comprehensive supports throughout the process🧡
Killers of the Flower Moon was EXCRUCIATING. Way to caste Indigenous people as benevolent victims to be only saved by the white man with no power of their own. This is not the narrative I was expecting. Do better Hollywood.
I know how boring a city like Montreal can be …so FYI. Two weeks tonight a production of my play alterNATIVES opens at Centaur Theatre in Old Montreal. I refer to it as an intellectual satire, meaning every joke has a subversive and subtextual meaning. Or do they?

Today marks the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.
I stand in solidarity with advocates, survivors, and their loved ones.
We must never forget those who were stolen from their families.
They deserve action.
I am so proud of my brother, @WabKinew.
Your win has inspired generations to come.
Manitobans are in great hands under your leadership - and with the Manitoba NDP, better days are ahead.
Thank you for your commitment to making life better for all. 🧡

My commentary on the election of @WabKinew as Premier of Manitoba and why it’s a game changer- the man who had a vision as a child grew up to walk in his purpose. The implications of his election to power reverberates across Turtle Island.
On September 30 we acknowledge the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. On behalf of the Indian Residential School Survivors Society, our Executive Director, Angela White, would like to say a few words.
