Great turnout at @R2Hwpg rally for Social Housing at @stbstvdan office. Winnipeggers are clear: @JustinTrudeau needs to fund new social housing to end the housing crisis.

More disappointing news about social housing in MB. The provincial government has SOLD more social housing in that past 7 yrs than its created. @moresochousing @CCPAMB https://t.co/TGcbgvwymc

Have you ever wondered what reconciliation is, and what it means for Indigenous people? This video breaks down the truth about Canada’s history of residential schools, the TRC’s Calls to Action and how we all can be part of the journey to reconciliation.

#SearchTheLandfill. Banner posted in solidarity with tonight's vigil on unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, səlilwətaɬ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nations. From the #DTES to #BradyLandfill we are telling you that INDIGENOUS WOMEN, GIRLS & 2-SPIRIT KIN DESERVE THE WORLD.

“Toronto police officers scouring a gigantic city dump for months… the largest of its kind in the history of Toronto, involving hundreds of officers and multiple units, with some officers putting in volunteer hours.”

[Sarah B. MacDonald (she/her) @smackdonna]

Hold up. So the province can just buy housing and manage it through the NS Provincial Housing Agency? That's so weird! Why haven't we been doing that for the last three years? There must be something specifically unique about these folks being helped.

We must “stop the bleeding” of low-rent #housing stock that’s being lost to renoevictions that destroy affordable housing faster than we build new units, says CHEC Exec Advisor Steve Pomeroy

A month ago, @ScottGillingham claimed the City couldn't afford the $650k a year to operate the essential Amoowigamig public washroom 24 hours a day.

Yet now the City is set to increase spending on a mass celebration of carceral violence by another $500k.

Two years ago today, we released our book: Voices of the Land: Indigenous Design & Planning from the Prairies 🌱

The quote at the start of the book:

“This book is dedicated to Indigenous youth; within ourselves and the ones who will break ground for our future.”
