If you think, for one second, that being brown absolves you from being a racist asshole, let this be proof otherwise. Anti-Black racism is alive and well, even across our communities of colour. It’s time we do better folks, the unlearning continues until this stops.
Did you just Ctrl-F "farmers" on the #Budget2021 too?
🎉This is a historic moment for #CdnAg, we want to congratulate Ministers @cafreeland & @mclaudebibeau for their leadership. FCS is ready and eager to support the implementation of programs to support sector-wide change!
@Travisboisvenue Zoom has an easy recording function that separates audio/video and even text! You could also download a screen recorder app? I remember using Quick Time to do this.
🌈Call for focus group: Equity Project!
We want to hear the voices of BIPoc, 2SLGBTQ+, women, new Canadian farmers, farmers with disabilities, and small-scale farmers. We know that our sector will be stronger when there is greater diversity in agriculture.

Really proud to launch this #Budget2021 recommendation today! Let’s jump-start #GHG reduction & scale-up #ClimateFriendlyFarming across millions of acres of farmland in Canada.
🇨🇦 farmers are asking @mclaudebibeau to invest $300 million in #Budget2021 to reduce ag emissions by 10 megatonnes.
Proud to launch 6 policy proposals today, on #CdnAgDay that support farmers to implement climate-friendly farming practices.

The west colonised Africa, and then effectively punish the resulting effects. 🤷🏽♀️ This “not exotic enough” behaviour is infuriating and erases the depth and intersections of colonial past.
@GenevieveNnaji1’s Lionheart is a true gem in modern cinema.
Other than wreaking havoc on your boots, #roadsalt also causes a lot of damage on our ecosystem.
I remember sweeping up gravel from our drive away each spring to reuse it. What are your alternatives to salt for a green (and white) winter?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how race, and #mixedrace, has impacted relationships. Especially “colour blind” friendships and what comes along with that. Looking forward to hearing this episode!
We're looking for stories about the specific moments in your lives when race has been a flashpoint in a friendship. We've heard some great ones so far, but are looking for more! Get involved by writing to us or recording a voice memo. We're at [email protected].
Some food for thought re. independent bakeries, the costs (and risks) of running a business, the skills of a breadmaker, and the development of our communities CC @BreadByUs https://t.co/ceCM0YEGMZ
