This is Mi’kmaw land. Tim Houston doesn’t get to do whatever he wants with it.
An unequivocal, powerful message to N.S. Premier Tim Houston from the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs, who inform him they remain opposed to fracking and “will not see it happen on our unceded and traditional territory.” Houston, you have a big problem with your plans to frack this province.

My fb feed is full of ads from Conservative front groups ridiculing Canadians standing up to Trump.
When I tried to purchase an ad taking on Pierre Poilievre FB said it didn't mean their community "standards."
We know which side they are on. Please share this clip.

I am rarely at a loss for words and then someone sent me this song.
I have written lots of songs about people.
I never imagined that someone would write one about me.
But it's not me that is worthy of celebration - it is the spirit of Canada that is rising.

Canada, we are in charge of our future. We can build a strong economy that doesn't depend on the United States.

We can be masters in our own house.
