My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The news coming out of the United States is horrific. My heart goes out to the millions of American women who are now set to lose their legal right to an abortion. I can’t imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now.

I believe every Canadian has a duty to learn about the history of this country, the good, the bad, and the ugly. https://t.co/9OdkjnZ7OI

Today marks the start of Indigenous History Month. This year is extra hard while we mourn & grieve over recent news from Kamloops BC residential school. My heart is with the peoples of Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation as they light the way for their little ones to return home.

[Tanya Talaga @TanyaTalaga]

I am honoured to be one of the few asked to come to Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation, to witness, to tell the story of all our relations. We grieve. We love and we demand justice. It’s time to bring our children home from the residential schools https://t.co/IxTpDCO4OO

Conversion "therapy" should not be called therapy.
Residential "schools" should not be called schools.

Language matters. We should use the name of abuse and torture.

There are no excuses to be silent on this matter anymore. To turn away or deny funding to support the search and reconciliation would be shameful. https://t.co/6azbmm2hOu

Thank you @theJagmeetSingh for your using your platform to shed light on empty promises. We need more ethnically diverse leaders like yourself to keep advancing anti-racism work across all Canadian institutions including the public service.

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

The murder of George Floyd shook the world

Thousands of Canadians marched in the streets calling for systemic racism to be confronted

One year later, they're still waiting

Why? Despite taking a knee, Justin Trudeau never took a stand

Black and Indigenous lives matter

[Fariha @farihar293]

I am putting my faith behind @theJagmeetSingh to engage our political leaders in a frank and honest conversation about how to take appropriate accountability and meaningful action to alleviate the suffering of Indigenous families who lost their children and livelihoods.

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

I’ve requested the Speaker allow for an Emergency Debate on the discovery of the graves of #215children

We grieve for these children and demand accountability from the federal govt

This govt must end all legal actions against Indigenous children & residential school survivors

@FrontBurnerCBC @CBCNews @ninjaccountant Hey @CBCNews and @FrontBurnerCBC, please shed some light on the systemic racism that is also prevalent within CBC and the journalism industry in Canada. https://t.co/6w1oZsyf89

My heart hurts reading this. Unthinkable loss of 215 children and likely much more given the number of residential schools across Canada. RIP young souls 🥀

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

An "unthinkable loss." Remains of 215 children found at former residential school in British Columbia.
