So glad to see this! We have to work together to combat pretendians and fake Métis and Inuit, as well as fake groups. We didn’t work this hard to have yet another wave of colonizers steal our identities, cultures and rights! #pretendians#indigenous#culturalappropriation
Banning #abortion in 2024? History tells us what this is really about. Arizona’s Supreme Court resurrects a law from 1864, from an era ruled by white supremacy and xenophobia. The echoes are clear, by @ShreeParadkar https://t.co/MGJWHwOh6t via @torontostar#ReproRights
Checked out SS Keewatin, now docked in Kingston…incredible to see up close in person.
It is the largest of the remaining Edwardian era passenger steamers remaining in the world…launched in 1907.
It is four years older than Titanic but of the same era of design…built in Scotland for the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company.
This incredibly historic ship opens for visitors in May at the Maritime Museum in Ktown!

A man from Toronto has filed a lawsuit against the Ontario government and the Children's Aid Society of Toronto alleging he was moved between more than 40 residential placements and subject to repeated sexual, physical, and psychological abuse during the 12 years of childhood he spent under provincial care.

I have a customer on my route who has MS. She lives in an apartment complex on the third floor of her building.
The mailroom is a good 10 min walk from her building.
I saw her mail piling up in her box and I got worried so I went to her building and knocked on her door because I got worried.
She told me she’s gotten pretty severe and cant really walk to the mail room, once a week at most.
That was all I needed to hear. Now I bring all her mail and packages to her front door everytime so she doesn’t have to walk.
I’m also working with her on getting a mailbox installed in front of the building so she doesn’t have to walk to the mail room.
If you have a disability and can’t get to your mailbox or mailroom, the post office can make accommodations to help you!

The story I was arrested for covering is ongoing. There are thousands of people, (60% Indigenous), living outside in Edmonton. Some shelter in tents on city property like this Indigenous camp that was deemed “high-risk, dangerous & criminal,” by the province & police. Thus police raided this camp & arrested anyone in their way or whom they didn’t like documenting it (as well as this journalist covering it). City workers disposed of all the belongings of people living here in landfills. It’s part of a new zero-tolerance policy by the province & police to deal with the alarming number of displaced people popping up in tent cities.
Edmonton Police Chief Dale McFee told the media two weeks ago he’s directing his force to take out every last encampment in Edmonton. While the city stands by with apparently no say after the province & police took the reigns in handling the housing & homelessness crisis.
The province opened a multi-million dollar “processing,” center operated by police for people displaced from encampments which provides social services and temporary shelter for up to 30 people at a time. It’s not a lasting solution.
The roots of the issue of the alarming number of individuals turning up on the streets are yet to be addressed.
