If only. It's a phrase that plays over and over again in Eva Mamakwa's mind.

If only Indigenous Services Canada's non-insured health benefits program had arranged travel for just one of her four missed appointments, Miranda may be alive.

Her final social media post where she says ‘ if I die, go after then’ should be a rallying cry for all us.

Her three children deserve answers. And justice.

My friend @TanyaTalaga has written a must-read piece on Canada’s wildfire failures and the need for a public inquiry. I’d add: community runways are 3,500 ft, they need to be 5,000 ft and paved. This is central to the crisis.

Our hearts are with Chief Pauline Drake and people of Whitewater First Nation as they are now getting confirmation that their community has been destroyed by wildland fires.

@fordnation That’s fine, Premier, but you need to engage with First Nations leadership managing this situation. It’s our people that are being impacted the most by these wildland fires.

It can’t just be a photo op.

[Alvin Fiddler @gcfiddler]

Heroes come in all sizes.

We are so proud of you, Chance.

This is what courage looks like.

Hey @BBishopAirport, how about promoting Indigenous literature instead of this crap.

We have some great storytellers out there.

Our communities will have, once again the authority to make decisions on the well-being of their most precious resource, their children.

Les enfants ne peuvent plus attendre. Nous poursuivons la mise en œuvre de l’Accord final de l’Ontario sur la réforme des services à l’enfance et à la famille, comme prévu. Les fonds commenceront à être versés aux communautés le 29 mai. C’est ça, l’autodétermination en action.
