The Indian Act is entirely offensive.

It is part of Canada's Constitutional Apartheid.

Parliament can never remove "outdated, offensive language in the Indian Act" without complete repeal and land back sovereignty.

Hey, @nba.com & @celticsnba.bsky.social, maybe you should listen to @fchwpo.bsky.social & switch to vegan, synthetic basketballs 👏🏀

Thanks, Jaylen, for standing up for animals who are violently killed for balls!

No selling. The abuse will only continue. Release to the wild or to a sanctuary.

This has been blocked because the abuse in China would continue or be worse. They must be released to wild or a proper sanctuary

Write MPs. In last election, in an animal welfare debate, most parties (Cons didn't attend) said they would help the animals get to a sanctuary.

Write MPs. A Canadian sanctuary for them if they think they cannot be released wild. In an election debate specific to animal welfare, most parties (Cons didn't attend) said they would help to get them to a sanctuary.

Carney doesn't need Ford's help. He's had a career of dealing with bullies & capitalist & financial predators & climate change deniers, and he's proven adept at handling this mentally deficit illiterate toddler's ego & incompetence.

He'll be fine. US Justice is about who can lawyer up the best. & pedophiles help each other.

As a non conventionally trained scientist, she invented animal science. The male scientists of her day degraded her when she gave the chimps names instead of numbers. She recognized their sentience, personalities & cultures.

Not enough for the seriousness of his crimes. Justice is not fair or equal. Justice is for whomever can lawyer up the best.

Americans should be blaming themselves. They have allowed appalling low education. & unequal education as what you get depends on where you live & ancestral resources. They've allowed racism. They've allowed the far right Christians to run the government.

Shame of them. Vile.

Jane Goodall was a game changer. She shifted us to understand that animals are as sentient as we are. The male scientists of her day degraded her for giving the chimps she was studying names instead of numbers. Jane saw their sentience, personalities & culture. RIP #JaneGoodall #HopeInAction

It's all terrible. The big "if". The racists & mysogynists have been playing the long game of appallingly inadequate & inequitable education for so long and they've won. So here we are. The US in free fall, delusional that they're leaders of the free world & taking it all down with them.
