There is no role for Hamas in the governance of Gaza.
We support Palestinians’ right to self-determination, including from being forcibly displaced from Gaza. 2/2

Canada’s longstanding position on Gaza has not changed.
We are committed to achieving a two-state solution, where Israelis and Palestinians can live securely within internationally recognised borders. 1/2

Murray Sinclair was a great Canadian, a great Manitoban, a great Anishinaabe. 

His career stands as a legacy of public service and a deep commitment to truth, fairness and dignity for all people. 

He was the first Indigenous person to be named to the Manitoba provincial court and the Court of Queen’s Bench of Manitoba. He was the first, but he will be remembered as one of the best. 

He was appointed co-commissioner of the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry, which laid bare systemic racism within the justice system and is considered a foundational perspective on the system’s relationship with Indigenous people. He led the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Inquest and his report spurred systematic change in the delivery of pediatric cardiac care in our province. 

The penultimate moment of his career was his work as chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. He approached a process that could have been divisive and instead transformed it into Calls to Action for the future of our country, helping all Canadians to learn to walk together into a future of respect and understanding where we live up to the phrase residential school survivors taught us – Every Child Matters. 

It will be a long time before our nation produces another person the calibre of Murray Sinclair. He showed us there is no reconciliation without truth. We should hold dear in our hearts his words that our nation is on the cusp of a great new era and we must all “dare to live greatly together.” 

On behalf of the people of Manitoba, I extend my condolences to his family and to all Canadians for the loss of Mazina Giizhik. 

A sacred fire will be open to the public on the north side of the legislative building grounds until Murray Sinclair’s funeral later this week.

I deeply morn the loss of my dear friend, Fahmeeda Wahab, who made e such impactful contributions to Canadian international assistance and our own lives.
Alas, she has left us much too soon and unexpectedly 😥 May she rest in peace in her beloved Bangladesh!

On September 30th, the systems which uphold colonialism are still in place and the harm continues. Reconciliation in practice has shifted away from transformation or ending harm and towards comforting Canadians. Read the full Brief: https://t.co/ALCqn6RIcE

“together, we can create a society where an inclusive understanding of our history is at the centre of our national identity.
Hope is not something we have to strive for. It is with us now, especially today.”

[Governor General of Canada @GGCanada]

“Reconciliation is a shared pursuit. We all have a responsibility to take steps, collectively, to right the historic wrongs that continue to impact the present.”

Three million people are stranded by flash flooding in Bangladesh, in one of the most violent floods the country has experienced in three decades.

Entire villages - homes, livestock, farmlands, fisheries - have been washed away. Breakdowns in telecommunications, interruptions to transport, and flooded roads and highways are complicating rescue efforts. The situation is expected to worsen in many places.

BRAC is on the ground, and has contributed BDT 30 million for emergency support to the people worst affected.

🇧🇩 has been an example in the 🌎 for showing empathy of a shared experience of experiencing genocide. @ChiefAdviserGoB #Bangladesh should be aware BGB stating they are now pushing back boats of asylum seekers could be refoulement https://t.co/1uqjmjClDe

The transitional government of #Bangladesh should immediately signal to security forces on the border to protect #Rohingya refugees fleeing violence in #Myanmar. This would be consistent w/ the Govt’s obligations under Int’l law. Donor govts can & should assist Bangladesh in this
