All the lies they're telling about Renee Good are in service of an even bigger lie: that individual human lives have no intrinsic worth and are therefore theirs to dispose of. publiccomment.blog/p/the-poison...

Here’s a look at what happens when the power goes out in extreme cold.

Pimicikamak Cree Nation was without electricity for nearly five days after its only power line snapped, forcing about 4,000 people to evacuate.

I wish there were clearer and more effective ways to stand with our relations in Minnesota, in Greenland, in Venezuela.

Hiya @winnipegfreepress.com, I’m not sure why the tag here calls a cafe and resto a “hookah lounge”. Might this be changed to match the language of the article?

Nobody cares what you think of Maduro.

The question is should the US invade a sovereign country and depose its government or should it not.

Watching Venezuela, & Canada’s awful response & my mind keeps going back to Coates’ comments from a year ago: if you can’t draw the line at genocide, why would you be able to draw it at democracy, or, it turns out, air strikes & kidnapping presidents? www.instagram.com/reel/DGSNU3H...

David Frum's latest anti-Native rights piece in the Atlantic is so misinformed, so carelessly put together that he confused the band number with the population. Kwikwetlem is band code 560 - an administrative number from ISC. The population is 153. 1

There is a deep fragility here, this characterizing arguments that one does not find convincing or agreeable as efforts at suppression. Or, in an old school foucauldian sense, they betray what they desire when they supposedly argue against it.

Adele Perry @adeleperry.bsky.social · 18d

I would be very surprised if people didn’t know a whole lot more about those histories and the figures associated with them than 15 years ago. What we are in the midst of is a reckoning and learning, and that is miles away concealing it.

Adele Perry @adeleperry.bsky.social · 18d

They might be efforts that some people, including those names here, disagree with. But locating the challenges to the public narratives of Canadian history as activist suppression does a massive disservice to careful research and discussion.

Adele Perry @adeleperry.bsky.social · 18d

There is a lot to be said about this take, but let me begin with the claim that these are “activist efforts to conceal” certain histories. Why can’t they be acknowledged as efforts to address these histories, squarely and openly? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The perception is that involuntary care will sweep the streets clean, getting people into treatment and rebuilding contributing members of society.

The reality is that people are likely to be disappointed as we get a classic example of overpromise and underdeliver. Shane Mills writes. #vanpoli
