Hi all, I have 2 feeds for Indigenous people & topics - #Indigenous Redsky & #MMIWG Sadly, bots were interfering with the content (Shame on them. On an MMIWG feed? Really?) I've cleaned it up, the feeds are ours again. If you aren't on the feed but want to be, here's how. youtu.be/HY7zqVMjt8g?...
Quite the story- an editor accepts a pitch from someone who appears to be a rising star, but her sharp eye catches a problem leading her to unmask a faux GPT-fueled journalist.... thelocal.to/investigatin... #cdnmedia
Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era | The Local
A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

Hoooly This is a blow- but he did it the right way. Thomas King admits he is not #Indigenous. I can tell you several journos were investigating- the Cherokee said there were no recods- but in the end King investigated and outed himself.

But first it comes to the Senate itself. The amendments passed at committee must still be passed by the whole Senate.

It appears Sen Prosper has the votes, Official vote is a moment away. Reminder: if this passes the amendments end the second Gen cutoff & institute a one parent rule. BUT #S2 must still pass the House of Commons. MPs could reverse the work of the Senate #cdnpoli #indigenous @aptnnews.bsky.social

Senator Pate says there could be an election, a cabinet shuffle, a change in priorities. The duty to consult is about "how" to end discrimination, not "if." The minister can still consult on how. There are 7 yes votes now. #cdnpoli #indigenous #s2 @aptnnews.bsky.social

So far 5 Senators say they will support Sen. Prosper's amendments in whole or part. Only 1 said no. Amendments to #S2 would end the Second Generation cut off for 'Indian Status' & replace it with a one-parent rule. This is the debate- voting to follow: #Indigenous #cdnpoli @aptnnews.bsky.social

"We cannot govern who First Nations fall in love with" says Senator Prosper. He calls the Indian Act a divide and conquer strategy placing limits on who is First Nation. He called current status rules it a "policy of extinction." " I can't not do something." #S2 #indigenous #cdnpoli

A heartfelt speech from Senator Prosper saying senate has had 10 meetings, 47 briefs & 57 witnesses. Most asked the Senate to end the Second Gen cut off now. There will be a vote shortly on amendments to end the cutoff and put in a one parent rule. #cdnpoli #indigenous #s2 @aptnnews.bsky.social

Shall I "live skeet" this? Senate will be doing a clause by clause on #S2 today. We just heard from a Senator a proposal there be no amendments to end the Second Gen cutoff because it interferes with ISC Minister Gull-Masty's duty to consult and leaves gov't open to law suits. #cdnpoli #indigenous

I'm at the Senate this morning.Last session ISC Minister Mandy Gull-Masty told Senate if they amend Bill S-2 to end the Second Gen cut off it is "racism itself" She says more consultation is needed. Senators think it is sexist, racist & needs to change. Will Senate amend? #indigenous #cdnpoli

On THE NORTH STATE I noted employment was up in October. The PM now says U.S. tariffs could cost about 1.8% of GDP — roughly $1,300 per Canadian. It’s not great, but it’s not panic territory. Even if the USMCA loophole closes, I stand by my statement: there’s no need to rush decisions. #cdnpoli
