@AshleyGWinter Checking on you is literally the only reason I'm here at The Bad Place. So thankful you are alive and at home. Please continue to recover and get better each day. โค๏ธ
These past few days have been heavy and devastating for our neighbours who are Trans, especially youth.
Take some time today and let those around you know they are loved, and their existence is worth fighting for.

Chills.
I wish every province had a leader as passionate, genuine, and human as @WabKinew .
Canada is a better country thanks to Murray Sinclair. We have a long road ahead of us, but we have travelled a great distance in the right direction with his guidance.
This is one of the best speeches from a political leader Iโve seen in a very, very long time. Genuine and from the heart. An amazing tribute to the late Murray Sinclair.
Wab Kinew embodied the concept of putting the human back into the politician here.
On this day in 1989, Degrassi High debuted on CBC.
The third installment of the Degrassi franchise, this award-winning and critically-acclaimed show tackled many serious topics during its two year run.
Let's learn more :)

Murray Sinclair was a great Canadian, a great Manitoban, a great Anishinaabe.ย
His career stands as a legacy of public service and a deep commitment to truth, fairness and dignity for all people.ย
He was the first Indigenous person to be named to the Manitoba provincial court and the Court of Queenโs Bench of Manitoba. He was the first, but he will be remembered as one of the best.ย
He was appointed co-commissioner of the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry, which laid bare systemic racism within the justice system and is considered a foundational perspective on the systemโs relationship with Indigenous people. He led the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Inquest and his report spurred systematic change in the delivery of pediatric cardiac care in our province.ย
The penultimate moment of his career was his work as chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. He approached a process that could have been divisive and instead transformed it into Calls to Action for the future of our country, helping all Canadians to learn to walk together into a future of respect and understanding where we live up to the phrase residential school survivors taught us โ Every Child Matters.ย
It will be a long time before our nation produces another person the calibre of Murray Sinclair. He showed us there is no reconciliation without truth. We should hold dear in our hearts his words that our nation is on the cusp of a great new era and we must all โdare to live greatly together.โย
On behalf of the people of Manitoba, I extend my condolences to his family and to all Canadians for the loss of Mazina Giizhik.ย
A sacred fire will be open to the public on the north side of the legislative building grounds until Murray Sinclairโs funeral later this week.
BREAKING: Over 50 states have called for an immediate arms embargo against Israel, "a legal, humanitarian and moral imperative to put an end to grave human suffering".

I sat in Legislature that day, watched you sob over #LGBTQ kids who fear coming out, or telling their parents cause theyโd be disowned or hurt.
You brought up your own niece!!!
I saw humanity in you on that day.
It was a disgusting manipulative lie!

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: CBS News Analysis Reveals That the Clear Majority of Tweets By Elon Musk About the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election Are Either Misinformation or Disinformation
Yes, the *clear majority*. https://t.co/56ATBk8brL
The horrifying reality of being a woman, perfectly summarised by @_CaitlinORyan
If you give even the slightest shit about women, watch it all. This is what itโs like.
@N8V_Calgarian An Indigenous Geographies thread? Yes please! Love when I find new (to me) accounts to follow. And apparently I missed some interesting stuff that you posted - I'll have to dig around and find it too.
A bit shocking when our governments own report states Albertans want:
1. Investment in the h/c workforce
2. Implement a centralized h/c system
In fact I would say this is sort of damning... They are doing the opposite.
