@sashagrons Is there a special category for those who are Born and Raised and have returned only to contribute to the Outsider influence?

[Lee Hawkings @hawkings_lee]

Great initiative. It might seem a bit clunky if you're used to the compass card system in Vancouver but seems like a great first step for #yxy!

Kent J’s decision in Thomas and Saik’uz First Nation v. Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. is a remarkable consideration of UNDRIP, colonialism, the discovery doctrine, and the questionable legitimacy of the Crown’s assertion of sovereignty. Here are a few outtakes. https://t.co/lxmlTgj1vX

Yukon's coroner has just released some staggering numbers on drug overdoses in the territory. 21 deaths reported this year alone. Yukon has now surpassed B.C. for the highest opioid death rate in the country with an astounding 48.4 deaths per 100,000 people. #yukon #opioidnumbers

The City of Whitehorse is engaging the public on the development of the upcoming 2022 Transportation Master Plan. If you're like me and think Whitehorse has a car-dependency problem, take the survey and let the powers that be know!

WARNING: This video contains details some readers may find distressing. Former senator Murray Sinclair, who chaired the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, delivered this statement on the discovery at Kamloops residential school. https://t.co/amXFEO4CTF

This is exactly how I have been thinking about the situation in Nova Scotia. How do we expect Indigenous people to have faith in any reconciliation process when the political will by non-indigenous Canadians to do the necessary hard work seems so utterly absent?

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

The way politicians and police responded to Wetʼsuwetʼen land defenders and their allies compared to the way they’re responding to white thugs in Nova Scotia tells you everything you need to know about how racist Canada is.

[Jackie Hong @xjackiehong]

This is huge. A Yukon Supreme Court judge has ruled that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies to a self-governing Yukon First Nation.

He also declared a section of VG's constitution requiring elected councillors to move to settlement land within 14 days to be invalid.

Yukon now has a university and Canada has a university north of 60°. Guided by Yukon communities and the 14 Yukon First Nations, Yukon University (YukonU) is grounded in reconciliation and the northern experience. https://t.co/QRZK7wi3DF #YukonU #CdnPSE

This is a story of a man who gave UBC $30 million, and is now taking them to court for objectively hilarious reasons. Great scoop by @rhiannaschmunk
