"As heavy equipment and construction traffic started crossing Gitanyow lands this week, the chiefs announced they no longer support the project...They’re not welcome. And as far as we’re concerned, this pipeline needs a new environmental assessment.” 🔥

Aftermath of the Coastal GasLink pipeline, which cuts thorough Wet’suwet’en territory. According to sources, logs have been placed to help with flooding of the previously forested area, which was clearcut to assist with the building of the pipeline. This is the way it’s left in both directions as far as the eye can see.

“It’s eerie and heartbreaking ❤️🩹 the picture is Lillian Wilson with her grandson walking on what’s left of this part of Likhts’amisyu Yintah .”

#SportSécuritaire Une enquête publique et indépendante dans les sports est toujours plus nécessaire !!!
Je vous invite à lire le rapport du Comité du Patrimoine sur La pratique du sport sécuritaire : https://t.co/2593vnsx6Q

De Grasse coach:
@AthleticsCanada says "countless background checks” done but quick google search = 2021 reports of Reider's conduct dating back to 2014. Checks or not, CEO @GlenroyGilbert admits "Our focus is on performance". And there you have it https://t.co/G8N3xQgA51
Au mois de novembre 2023, c’était à mi-parcours dans la période de probation imposée à Rana Reiner - le coach de De Grasse. Un article de La Presse, ce matin nous donne plus de détails, https://t.co/4sC9yhx4wd
The same system that allowed sexual predator Bob Birarda to continue coaching minors was spying on the competition and cheating?! SHOCKED. Shocked, I tell you.
Please, for the love of everything, go watch @ciaramccormack’s Committee testimony. This system is rotten to the core.
“I think I’ve seen this film before…”
Withholding funding does nothing. Conducting a toothless Commission, without any power to compel sport orgs to participate does nothing.
We need a national inquiry. We needed it ages ago.
But sport is continuing to protect itself.
More to come. This story is not over. @CdnHeritage knows that freezing funding doesn’t work to fix the systemic issues at play. This is not one bad actor or one bad sport. National Inquiry needed.
Statement from the 🇨🇦 CDN Collective for Human Rights in Sport regarding Canada Soccer - a reflection of Canada's toxic & corrupt sport system. @CQualtro - this is a call to action for you.

@rwesthead Basically coaching staff took the Olympic dream for our women’s soccer players and flushed it down the toilet. Head coach Bev Priestman, and assistant coaches Jasmine Mander and Joseph Lombardi should never be allowed to represent the Canadian flag again.
