In the lead-up to September 9, the release of Truth Before Reconciliation: Confronting Residential School Denialism, @Niigaanwewidam and I will be sharing some of the incredible blurbs for the project - starting with @Pam_Palmater.
I've seen the lasting legacy of sexual assault.
I've counselled victims and families.
I'm DEEPLY TROUBLED by what Jeffrey Sloka's acquittal says to Ontarians.

Tyrants destroy truth in 4 stages:
1/ Blur reality
Flood the zone with “alternate facts"
2/ Destroy trust
Smear media & science as "corrupt"
3/ Replace facts with loyalty
Truth is what the Leader says
4/ Criminalize truth-telling
Jail protesters

To @FordNation :
Legalizing government secrecy is a slippery slope.
It undermines media
...& blinds Ontarians to where tax dollars go.
Laws that erode transparency also invite government corruption.
Signed.

It is interesting to watch Twitter unravel under Musk. Hopefully this means we will stop calling folks who succeed in the market -based economy “geniuses”. Elon is not a genius, Steve Jobs was not a genius. Successful business people have a very limited set of skills.
COMMENTARY: Don’t let the government ‘move on’ from residential schools. Vote to stop Canada’s ‘dark history’ - National | https://t.co/0kIBi7SIMQ https://t.co/TZWkN2r3cG
To get elected in 2015 @JustinTrudeau vowed that repairing the relations with Indigenous people was his most important priority.
Now he's reduced to lying and defying Parliament and his own caucus.
This has nothing to do with God.
It was a political rally promoting fringe deniers undermining the response to the biggest medical catastrophe in a century.
People are dying in their hundreds while these idiots hide behind a pulpit.
Charge them.

Treaties Recognition Week is an opportunity to learn more about the treaties that guide the relationships between Indigenous & non-Indigenous people in Ontario. Thank you to the elders and Indigenous knowledge keepers for sharing their stories and lessons with Ontarians.
On Wednesday Parliament will vote on Motion 174 to establish a national suicide action plan.
We have a chance to make a real difference.

The Liberals forgave a $133 million from a tax cheat but they will go to court to to fight compensation for First Nation children.

I am thinking of the people of Kashechewan who are being flown out to emergency centres across Ontario.
These evacuations cause enormous stress on families.
It's time for the government to live up to its signed commitments.
No more broken promises.
