Banning institutions from Pride because of transphobic/ homophobic/ racist staff & policies vs. Only allowing individuals to march in pride because all companies and institutions are oppressive regardless of their best efforts

BREAKING: CBC has obtained the 911 call that led to the arrest of an Indigenous girl & her grandfather. The transcript reveals a BMO branch manager didn’t know what an Indian Status card was & called Indig Services Canada who told BMO to call 911. More on @CBCEarlyEdition

White terrorists are leaving moose parts laying around, burning down buildings, assaulting Indigenous people, harassing land defenders and oh yeah, of course, sitting back in their roles as RCMP and OPP watching it all happening.

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

It’s so frustrating, as an historian of Indigenous-settler relations, to hear fellow settlers say that treaties give Indigenous peoples “special privileges.” Without those treaties, settlers wouldn’t have the “special privilege” of living here. We need more treaty education.

On the Globe and Mail home page right now: Indigenous woman killed by NB police; Inuit man hit by RCMP officer driving truck; family in BC wants answers into Indigenous man's death in RCMP custody. One day's snapshot

YOOO HE KNOCKED HIM OUT COLD

Text your racist uncle & tell him what you were too afraid to about his bigoted views last holiday dinner, donate to a bail fund, or buy from Black-owned businesses instead.

[ZOË-BLUE @zeebeecoates]

PSA for white folks out there please don’t text that Black person you barely know because you are feeling the rage of racism for the first time and don’t know where to place your feelings. We are exhausted & don’t have time for platitudes or well wishes

I have criticism for @theJagmeetSingh but he's still the only federal politician I've seen speak against racism in Canada wtihout dodging it.

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

A long pause means nothing.

Silence won't confront anti-Black racism, actions will.

I asked the Prime Minister if he would end the racial profiling of Black people in Canada.

He refused to answer.

That is his only moment of silence that we should be discussing today.

Divest from policing. Imagine if Vancouver spent half of their police budget on mental health services, recreational centres, and housing subsidies? How much would the city change?

@peachbennett I LOVE THAT THEY USED THIS

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

To all those Canadians smugly thinking this week that it is only the US that has rampant racist killings, machismo gun culture, and systemic injustice:

Good morning to everyone except anyone who thinks building pipelines is an "essential service" in the middle of a pandemic and a climate crisis

Yesterday, we received confirmation that students and recent graduates are not currently eligible for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit. This morning, I sent an updated email to federal ministers asking them to extend coverage to this group in need.

I'm in debt. I'd accept some help from people who can afford it. Gilakas'la.

@YvonneHoussin Something that I’ve found comfort in is taking lessons from history and using it to call our governments to action. History has the power to act as a moral compass that can hold people in power to account. This knowledge is medicine.
