Today in Canadian Parliament
I asked Justin Trudeau to end legal actions against Indigenous kids and survivors of genocidal residential schools
He refused to commit
Alberta’s Indigenous tourism operators exemplify our entrepreneurial spirit and passion for our province, and I am thrilled to work with @IndigenousAB to create more unique, authentic experiences that will make Alberta a top global destination for Indigenous tourism.
Why does this country keep avoiding this very important matter. Don't you think it's enough, that our people have endured and suffered enough. TAKE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES... #polcan
Welcome to Canada where a request for an emergency parliamentary debate over finding the bodies of 215 First Nation children buried at a church school was turned down.
It didn't meet the "test" of national importance.
But we've had two emergency debates on pipelines this session.
Heart-shattering.
Romeo Saganash describes when his mother finally learned where his little brother's body lay, after he had died in a residential school 40 years prior.
"I had never seen her cry that way. That's closure," he said.
"That's what we call closure."
Every 3 days an Indigenous child who is connected to the child welfare system dies.
When inquests are conducted the evidence is horrific - children disappeared into a system of hopelessness.
This is not old history.
This is today.
Canada.

During pandemic the public may ask why an Indigenous tourism led strategy?
We have been tracking Federal relief programs for the 1800 Indigenous tourism businesses.
Results during #Covid_19 don’t lie

I cannot understand how @ITAC_Corporate and #Indigenous tourism led solution was ignored by #federalbudget2021
It is a sad week for Indigenous tourism in Canada.
One of the most important economic and culture drivers for Indigenous people.

Our industry needs your leadership before it's too late. More than 40 000 jobs/families are tied to the Indigenous Tourism Industry, 33% are Women owned businesses, are we sacrificing them like it doesn't matter @melaniejoly and @Min_IndServ? Support indigenous led solutions!
The struggles are real @melaniejoly @Min_IndServ @TIAC_AITC@DestinationCAN Indigenous tourism is at risk of collapsing if you don't commit now, spare 8 minutes to watch and tell us you can't support our industry in your budgets. https://t.co/ISnyvMueN5
