Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami President Natan Obed says allegations of financial mismanagement and a toxic workplace at the Office of the Commissioner for Indigenous Languages are disheartening, and he hopes the federal government seizes the moment to reform the institution.

Some reaction from Indigenous speakers and political leaders regarding our reporting that the Office of the Commissioner of Indigenous Languages is being audited.

PS @alespassafiume is much better at posting on social media than I am.

Indigenous language speakers and political leaders say they were disappointed to learn a landmark Indigenous languages office is under investigation after the federal government received anonymous complaints.

@KellyGerMalone The amount of US focused entertainment outlets that covered it was wild to me. Probably the first time they've heard of the awards lol

There is continuing controversy over an Indigenous-led, unscripted comedy series in early production for CBC Entertainment and APTN, as the future of the show looks murky.

That is one of the topics for this week's Truth & Politics panel.

I had an opportunity to spend about an hour with Gov. Gen. Mary Simon on Thursday.

It was her first interview since PM Mark Carney announced she’d be out of the job in June, to be replaced by former Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour.

Lorraine Oughton was always up for Scrabble - and her family had an extra 10 years to play with her. That’s because three “angels” performed CPR on her and it’s why the family is asking for donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation #RIP @WinnipegNews https://t.co/TZU4f6Sl5K

Six-month-old Annora Crowe held her parents’ hands as she emerged from a teepee under the shadow of the Peace Tower and took her first steps.

She was at the centre of a historic event marking the first “walking out” ceremony ever to be held on the Hill.
