The absolutely awesome Canadian author, Robert J. Sawyer has written quite a few Indigenous characters into his books. He has even waxed philosophical about Indigenous relationships to land without ever needing to present himself as Indigenous. (apihtawikosisan.com/2012/01/ques...)

10 years ago Mark Carney warned about the "existential threat" posed by climate catastrophe and the need to move from fossil fuel burning.
Now he is using Stephen Harper's lines about becoming an "energy super power."
This is a powerful analysis on the MOU.

The Pipeline MOU is a Tragic Failure of Vision
At best, Mark Carney capitulated to Danielle Smith's backward view of the future. At worst, the Prime Minister shares that view

The Liberals cancelled the consumer carbon tax and now want to build a pipeline to the BC coast; so why do we even need a Canadian Conservative party now?

Claiming that you can pumpi out another million barrels of bitumen a day and somehow capture the emissions in a pipeline is like saying you can drink your way to sobriety.
And those million barrels still get burned.

They told me they’ve already been to court over this and are having a hard time catching up with their limited income. It’s outstanding from last month. They’re sick with worry. Please donate what you can. Let’s try get this for them by tomorrow.
This is very urgent! Sharing here too. There’s a Native person with disabilities from Calgary that reached out and they’re almost getting evicted. They need $535 by Monday or they’re out on the street. I’m putting out my links for them. Please donate what you can. PayPal/etransfer [email protected]

"Ontario recorded the highest number of wait-list deaths: 10,634, including more than 9,100 diagnostic-scan deaths where patients died before reaching the point of receiving or being scheduled for surgery."
I guess it's not "hallway healthcare" if you never make it to the hospital hallway.

One of the most most unique traditions in the country is mummering.

I usually speed when I’m driving but that’s because all the speed limit signs around here are just normal-sized signs and I don’t think they’re serious signs but once Doug Ford spends millions putting up bigger speed limit signs I will definitely not be speeding anymore because then it’s serious.
