“I think police departments need to hear this and come to grips with the fact that they need to do something about the bad apples.” Police regularly dismiss, justify violence against Indigenous women, new research finds #MMIWG#policing#justice#violence https://t.co/Pj4rcqqpw2
A four-hour debate in the House of Commons about Red Dress Day and MMIWG.
Advocates and MPs call for a national emergency declaration on the issue of MMIWG2S.
And the province of Alberta heads to the polls later this month.
That’s on Nation to Nation.

I just got off the TTC bc a man who clearly fell through whatever "safety net" we have left in this city/province/country decided to whip it out. I was with my kid. On the first, very crowded streetcar in 20 minutes. I do not want this person arrested. I want a better city.
Hey look: Toronto just got the six-month report from the non-police Community Crisis Support Team pilot and 78% of calls were diverted without involving police. Imagine if we gave that a $50 million raise. Instead, it's an increase of maybe $3 million*. https://t.co/IlHrrUnTvu
