Why ‘Reservation Dogs’ Director Danis Goulet Portrayed Reservation Schools Like a “Horror Movie” https://t.co/1GpQORzAn4 via @thr

[The Hollywood Reporter @THR]

#ReservationDogs director Danis Goulet didn't know it would be the end going into the season: "Trust us, continue to hire us, continue to give us these opportunities. Because Reservation Dogs has really proven what can be done" https://t.co/39BA8Q8mAK

If you've already seen this week's incredible #ReservationDogs, I've got a lot of thoughts about the Deer Lady's origin story. And if you haven't seen it yet, get on that, immediately. https://t.co/9FpsGZ3y5n

Listen, visibility is a trap, etc etc, but if it helps you to see a trans person who is thriving, who is successful and respected, who is so ferociously loved, then here I am. You deserve everything, and I want you to have it.

As a Canadian screenwriter, I’m outraged with the Senate committee’s decision to entrench an unfair double-standard in Bill #C11. @pablorodriguez : Let’s keep working together to fix what’s broken with section 3(1)(f.1). #CDNTV #CDNfilm Read more: https://t.co/djybLpZPJS

“Trust me”. “I secretly cut a deal with the Premier to cut you, your neighbours and your councillor out of all meaningful decision making, and secretly took nearly a million dollars from Rogers over the past eight years. But don’t worry, you can trust me”

Arrived at Queen’s Park this morning with the #ondpcaucus at 5 am to defend workers rights. The lowest paid educational workers who work with students w/ disabilities & keep our schools running, clean & in good repair only make $39k & many use food banks & have 2+ jobs

Canadian Civil Liberties Association:

"The notwithstanding clause was never meant to be used in contract negotiations, or as a casual tool to disrupt basic human rights safeguarded in our Charter. This misuse, and the flagrant disregard for individual rights is wrong"

[Chris Bittle @Chris_Bittle]

Invoking the notwithstanding clause is an admission by a government that the law they are attempting to pass is not “demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society”

[Leah ProudLakota (she/her) @LeahGazan]

In a place where we have to battle for the rights of Indigenous peoples, MPs let the truth be heard and unanimously passed a motion recognizing what happened at residential schools as a genocide.

This is historic. To survivors and descendants, I honour you today and every day.

I shared these images on TikTok and people are losing their minds insisting that it's a lie - it's wild how indoctrinated people are about abortion https://t.co/yUqPIZSxFA
