A journalist colleague putting on a journalism workshop asked me for "input on how to honour Canada's Indigenous history in a way that's thoughtful and sincere, and perhaps something more than just reading a land acknowledgement."

Some suggestions...

An open invitation to address anti-Indigenous #SystemicRacism. Review of @SamirS_H's "Fighting for a Hand To Hold: Confronting Medical Colonialism
Against #Indigenous Children in Canada" https://t.co/tqpbKB9cm8 via @TheLancet @cblackst

[Waubgeshig Rice @waub]

Journalism is a profession of messy contradictions with a serious systemic racism problem. I saw too many talented Indigenous journalists forced out because of that. After I left the business, I wrote a letter to the ones who are still on a hopeful path. https://t.co/E167JfmebO

Already dreading NYT lifestyle articles on micro schools rich people form with their friends: Wilson renovated a hardware store that had recently gone out of business downtown. “I loved that my children would learn in a space like that,” he said. “Tools feel so metaphoric now.”

We can only hope this crisis changes the way we all view elder care.

My open letter to Premier Legault @francoislegault: It is only by working on the front lines with us that he will be able to feel the weight of this ongoing tragedy. It will change the way he views this crisis and elder care forever: https://t.co/v4nY4RU9Jw #polqc #COVID19quebec

This is important enough to justify my first ever tweet.

#Concordia is open today (Friday, February 7, 2020). All classes, labs and other activities will be held as regularly scheduled. All services will be open and the shuttle bus will be operating.

“What you have are kids who have grown up in foster homes, who are looking for a sense of belonging, looking for a sense of identity.” @duncanmccue on why some in North Central Regina are drawn to gangs: https://t.co/3W6NU3TGDo

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

One of our most precious rights as Americans is the right to determine who our leaders are.

The president abused his powers to cheat in the next election and rob us of that right. Then he obstructed Congress to cover it up.

Impeachment is the only remedy. #DefendOurDemocracy

Must read from @LoreenatCBC "I've been a journalist for 35 years — the Polytechnique massacre left a scar on all of us" https://t.co/S4kyZQmUrh

[Loreen Pindera @LoreenPindera]

THREAD: It’s been 30 years but I recall the École Polytechnique massacre as if it were yesterday. I was the only one left in the @CBCMontreal radio newsroom when the police scanner erupted. I ran out the door with my tape recorder, thinking I was headed to a fire... 1/8

On devrait le créer, leur ordre professionnel, mais avec des pouvoirs tellement dilués que ce serait comme s’ils n’en avaient pas du tout, mais eux penseraient que ça change quelque chose, mystérieusement, et tout le monde serait content https://t.co/OH4lHZBtBL

[Corinne Smith @corinnemtl]

Must read 👇👇 "When it comes to news, who makes the decisions behind the scenes is just as important as whose byline is on the front page." Thank you for doing this work.

[À LIRE] Ce portrait de ⁦@cathmckenna⁩ dans le ⁦@macleans⁩. Je me demande où les femmes qui vont en politique trouvent la force d’endurer toute cette cruauté misogyne. Comme elle dit : « Look, I’m tough, but I am really sick of this ». #polcan https://t.co/NYJpXMjs1y
