"There's nothing more painful in life than losing a child."
The remains of 215 Indigenous children were found at a former residential school in Canada's British Columbia this week.
The Sipekne’katik First Nation has secured a broad injunction against interference with their treaty fishery - including an order prohibiting people from intimidating those doing business with the community | APTN News https://t.co/IQ8ogSyyQ4
White ppl violently attack indigenous lobster fishers, it’s called “escalating tensions”. Indigenous people block roads to protect their territory it’s called “domestic terrorism”. The narrative needs to change in Canada. #MikmaqRights#cdnpoli#SystemicRacism#firstnations
The acts of violence and intimidation committed in Digby County yesterday are unacceptable, and I join Minister Jordan in strongly condemning them. We cannot continue down this path. We must work together to advance reconciliation and implement First Nation treaty rights.
The attacks on Mi'kmaw fishers are absolutely appalling
Justin Trudeau & his Liberal government have left fisheries officials without guidance & the consequences grow increasingly severe with each passing day
Leaders have a duty to deescalate & not disappear in times of crisis
Systemic racism is killing people
To address it we need systemic change
- Overhaul use of force protocols
- Prioritize de-escalation
- End racial profiling
- Fund healthcare not police to respond to health crisises
The Liberals must act so not another life is ever taken again
