Former Crown Counsel. I like to learn and Twitter educates me on many subjects. Retweeting may not mean endorsement.

We have a pretty hilarious Prime Minister. Watch PM Carney joke around about his height difference with Eby.

I was glad to be there for this moment.

Reconciliation is a shared journey and we are all on it together.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is uniquely and positively Canadian.

We are united in a vision of reconciliation and building a better country.

I want to give Minister Marc Miller credit where it’s due.

In 1964, the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw Nations in British Columbia were forcibly relocated. They were promised a Big House: a place for their ceremonies, their culture and their governance. That promise went unfulfilled for decades.

In 2022, Minister Miller joined community leaders to break ground, backed by nearly nine million dollars in federal funding. This June, the Big House finally opened. Sixty-two years after the promise.

Credit to the Elders, chiefs and families who never gave up, and to Marc for helping move it forward.

Reconciliation means honouring commitments. This one was long overdue.

Hi Jonathan, so let me understand this argument: unless 215 children’s remains are physically excavated at Kamloops, some Canadians have no problem with children being forcibly taken from their families, starved, beaten, sexually abused, stripped of their languages and used in government nutrition experiments?

The possible burials at Kamloops have not yet been confirmed through excavation. They have not been proven nonexistent either. But the residential-school system’s violence—and the thousands of children documented as having died within it—is already historical fact.

Indigenous children should not have to produce their bones before Canada agrees that what happened to them was inhumane.

What is residential school denialism? University of Manitoba professor Niigaan Sinclair explains that it isn’t the denial of the existence of residential schools – it’s the downplaying of experiences that have been proven time and time again.

Mark Carney on Stelco: "Our thoughts are with the workers and the families who have been betrayed by the company ... this situation is caused by the U.S. tariffs and the CEO applauded President Trump for putting those tariffs on."

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

Given recent events, @Niigaanwewidam and I worked with Canadian Dimension to publish an excerpt from Truth Before Reconciliation’s conclusion - to help meet the moment and keep us focused on putting truth before reconciliation 👇

[Sean McQuillan @luckysean]

There is an extreme level of cognitive dissonance in Residential School denialism. Across Canada, not just at Tk'emlups, people were harmed and permanently changed by residential schools and yes people even died, it's been known for generations.

[Brian Platt @btaplatt]

For what it's worth, Carney did give an interview to the Globe and Mail on the same day at the investment summit he spoke with Bloomberg and the FT. As far as I'm aware all three publications got equal time. Here's proof! https://t.co/DkxWSesOIb

Historian Margaret MacMillan: "I think democracy is by no means dead. A liberal world order where we actually try and work with each other is by no means dead. I think what PM Carney has done is absolutely extraordinary. He has given voice to concerns and he's also laid out a plan for the future, that the middle powers do need to get together."

Our new Liberal government achieved NATO’s 2% defence spending target — half a decade ahead of schedule.

In a rapidly changing world, we’re taking full responsibility for defending our sovereignty.

[Adrienne Murphy Holmgren @murholm]

This is overdue and necessary.

[Jesse McCormick @jessecmccormick]

This is a welcome investment. If only we could find a way to mainline it into the residential school deniers dominating this platform.

[Bill Tieleman @BillTieleman]

Oh boy! Ex-BC Conservative candidate says party members should hold their nose and vote for Lorne Doerkson, the latest leader - while working to build up OneBC - the far-right party of another former BC Conservative - MLA Dallas Brody! Quite the endorsement. 🙄#bcpoli #vanpoli

This is a very important read for BCers:

[Jesse McCormick @jessecmccormick]

As a former Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation whose primary political focus has been challenging the rights and self-determination of First Nations, British Columbians should be glad @JohnRustad4BC is leaving provincial politics.

Quite some time ago but, as @bryanadams would say, cuts like a knife.
