Canada remains one of the world's biggest suppliers of horses for meat. 25 000 are slaughtered annually. The meat is frozen and exported, mainly to Japan, France & the U.S. Live animals are also still being shipped. @JustinTrudeau pledged to stop this inhumane practice. It’s time

[Winnipeg Humane Society @WinnipegHumane]

🚨BREAKING NEWS: This is the second shipment of horses to leave Winnipeg in less than a month. Now more than ever, we urge Canadians to sign and share @jannarden's parliamentary petition demanding a federal ban on horse exportation for slaughter: ➡️ https://t.co/byoDRS22yt

I just want to make a few things clear:

The Holocaust happened.

Hitler was a demonic figure.

And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides.

Silence is complicity.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 3 years since my #DMCIlaw class visited the courts. Always an amazing opportunity for them to learn more about our provincial justice system. Happy we could share this day together. @dmcintyre @WinnipegSD #finallyafieldtrip #justiceinaction

In a place where we have to battle for the rights of Indigenous peoples, MPs let the truth be heard and unanimously passed a motion recognizing what happened at residential schools as a genocide.

This is historic. To survivors and descendants, I honour you today and every day.

Many believe that hawks symbolize a need to start looking forward, envisioning your path ahead. The spirits may be preparing you for a greater role in life. To me, this is the essence of truth and reconciliation. Powerful moment. #TruthAndReconciliation #NDTR #EveryChildMatters

The tipi teaches us how to care for ourselves and our community. This morning, @dmcintyre history students worked together and learned some of the Cree teachings. While they listened and learned, a hawk flew into a nearby tree and kept a watchful eye...

Proud tita moment for @MrsIlaganDMCI and I as we watched our godson shine in the @rainbowstage production of The Hockey Sweater. Nathan, you and the entire cast made our return to the dome absolutely magical! #GameOn #thehockeysweatermusical #manitobamust #winnipegsummer

@MetisMamaMB You must to take them by the old Gaol on Vaughn Street. I heard such fascinating (ghost) stories when I took a tour for Doors Open Winnipeg.

[Alison Dennis @msadenniswpg]

@MetisMamaMB So glad you’re running Rebecca. Ward 4 residents would be lucky to have you.

[Alison Dennis @msadenniswpg]

@Mr_Gilbert__ @dmcintyre @DMCIAlumni So great to see these smiles! #bestalumniever

@WinnipegSD @dmcintyre @McIntyreAnglers @TheIGFA @MCOA_Official @CTJumpstart @thefishinholeca @mbfwef Congratulations Kyla! I promise that one of these days Mr. P and the rest of the @McIntyreAnglers will teach me how to fish! 🎣

Grateful to have Elder Peter Atkinson visit our @dmcintyre history class today. He taught us about spiritual levels; the gifts we have all been given at birth; and the 7 principles/life teachings to guide us through life. Miigwech @WinnipegSD @MBTreaty

@gaileckert Such a sweet boy. W and him are reunited across the rainbow bridge. Rest In Peace dear Henry.

@ohryan My 14 year old daughter laments about the death of Target 🇨🇦 every time we drive past Polo Park. “But will they ever come back?”

@kyle_minogue @mshopeteach @dantougas Gray Academy also keeping masks in place for now. According to a friend whose kids go there, SJR is not.

This is an important read. We must all recognize that the invasion of Ukraine, is not just about Ukraine. We are part of a greater plan. Disinformation has been used as a tactic in past wars, and will continue to be used unless platforms & the people who use them, step up.⬇️🧵

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Ok. Deep breath.

I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in.

The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie.
