Métis National Council President Cassidy Caron led the delegation today to meet the Pope Francis. He did not apologize, but she hopes he heard their truths and he acknowledges them with concrete action. They defiantly marched out of the Vatican, led by fiddlers.

Métis National Council President Cassidy Caron embodies Indigenous strength, matriarchal power. She led the delegation of residential school survivors and descendants. She was the FIRST to be in front of Pope Francis here, demanding the Church acknowledge the truth, apologize.

Some protestors have ramped up their anger at journalists. @glen_mcgregor and I were both doing reports at a camera and protestors surrounded us, yelled fake news, lies, Nazi, disrupted Glen’s live hit, one guy spat at us and then followed us as we left. Getting worse #cdnpoli

[Glen E. McGregor @glen_mcgregor]

Disgusting. Every news crew has been harassed repeatedly trying to work. This is the first actual on-camera assault of a journalist I’ve seen.

So…Zexi Li, the 21-year-old Ottawa resident leading a class-action lawsuit vs the “Freedom Convoy,” says that one of the protestors actually backed his truck onto a sidewalk in an attempt to hit her yesterday.

Zexi Li is the DEFINITION of a hero.

Who else stands with her? ✋🏾

“You should go home and hang yourself. The world would be better off.” That’s the shit we’re dealing with while trying to do our jobs.

[CaptainCoby @Captaincoby00]

With all of the threatening messages I have received regarding my stance on the protest from its supporters, I have for my own safety decided to only eat at ethnic restaurants for a while as I’m sure none of the convoy folk have ever stepped foot in one😏😏😏

Far-right extremism & white hate groups represent biggest domestic threat say Canada & US officials. Yet police let them roll in & take siege of Ottawa. My latest for @TheBreachMedia #cdnpoli #whitesupremacy #racism #nationalsecurity #TruckerConvoy2022 https://t.co/ZNGIgpfzQN

Dear Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau perhaps an address to the Nation about the State of Emergency in the Nation's Capital right now? After 10 days of inaction by all parties, residents need to know this violent siege is ending. Comment? #cdnpoli

[Haneen Al-Hassoun @haneenalhassoun]

Are protesters in Quebec going to also ask for Bill 21 to be repealed since they’re fighting for freedom? Asking for a friend.

[City of Ottawa @ottawacity]

Today, February 6, Mayor Jim Watson has declared a state of emergency for the City of Ottawa due to the ongoing demonstrations.

Retweet this if you stand with health workers.

In the 1960s, the Ministry of Natural Resources burned the homes of Anishinaabe families in order to expand Killarney Provincial Park.

There should be a reconciliation plaque at every entrance to acknowledge this story.

Many other parks in Canada have similar histories.

Rose LeMay: Stunned silence will greet those who want to raise a flag on Canada Day. One akin to the silence that we give to those who laugh at funerals, make light of tragedy, dismiss other’s pain, and dance over graves. @The_IRG #cdnpoli
