Language carries a people’s memory.
Honouring Indigenous languages in Parliament is not only about translation. It is about recognizing Indigenous nations laws stories & futures within the heart of Canadian democracy. Here's my article about our history

For generations, dogs guarded our camps, carried our belongings and watched over our families.
An ancient treaty, without paper or words.
Does that treaty still hold?

Les « rez dogs » font partie de nos communautés depuis bien avant les réserves. Ils gardaient nos camps, transportaient nos biens et veillaient sur nos familles. Mais tradition et sécurité doivent aller ensemble. voici ma chronique #autochtone https://t.co/fSZYwJvpeB

Quand le souffle du bison blanc nous a quittés Au zoo du parc Assiniboine, nous avons honoré Blizzard, le bison blanc, par la cérémonie, les enseignements et le chant.
Ancien traité.
Ancienne promesse.
Nouvelle compréhension.
Mêmes valeurs. #WhiteBuffalo

Les changements climatiques n’ont pas disparu parce que les politiciens ont cessé d’en parler. Les gouvernements proposent de nouveaux oléoducs. Comme l’a dit l’Aîné Winston Wuttunee « Nous ne pouvons pas manger le pétrole. » L’orignal non plus! https://t.co/jmBAirpFVA #cdnpoli

[Robert-Falcon Ouellette @DrRobbieO]

Climate change did not disappear because politicians stopped talking about it. Canadians & First Nations are being evacuated while governments promote new pipelines. Elder Winston Wuttunee said it plainly “We cannot eat the oil.” Neither can the moose. https://t.co/OZnmy3FjCR

175 years after the battle of Grand Coteau, the question remains: are some Indigenous leaders still warriors, or patient administrators of delay? A reflection from the AFN AGA. #cdnpoli #Indigenous

Where have our warriors gone?
At Grand Coteau, the Métis stood their ground. At Little Bighorn, division weakened Indigenous resistance. Today, the battle is fought with microphones policy & political courage
Promises, patience and posturing are not enough https://t.co/x8vs6Yub2z

A crackdown on open drug use without treatment beds is not a solution. It is mayoral theatre.
Winnipeggers want safer streets, but arrest and release moves the problem around. Leadership means enforcement, treatment, housing and follow-up on everyday crime

Cindy Blackstock of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society is questioning why Ottawa is shopping around its own plan to end discrimination against First Nations Children. Canada was ordered by the CHRT to come up with a solution 10 years ago. She addressed Chiefs in assembly in Ottawa on Wednesday. https://t.co/MY4R4MjuFS

@bourassa3232 @TrendPolCa @MarkJCarney I’m not certain what interoperability actually means. Does this mean we can switch crews from the Germans into the Canadian sub. This is highly unlikely. Can the submarines communicate? Can they work alongside NATO ships. There must be something else at play. # always talk.

Quand les chevaux courent encore à Little Bighorn https://t.co/Koo6sPH0OV
En 1876, à Little Bighorn, ceux qu’on disait «primitifs» ont vaincu l’armée américaine et défendu leurs enfants, leurs parents les bisons et leur monde. Des semaines plus tard, le Traité no 6 était négocié

Perhaps the Mayor of Winnipeg can convince 311 to have someone come pick up the city garbage in our parks. @MarkusAChambers @ScottGillingham @winnipegsun 2/2

[Robert-Falcon Ouellette @DrRobbieO]

Called 311, they say it’s NOT their responsibility, so just let the garbage pile up. When I was an MP if a citizen called, The team would ensure that it got forwarded to the proper dept & level of government to deal with. Still waiting for my callback 311! #johnforsyth 1/2
