Here’s today’s version of the HBC, proceeding in their own narrow interests, as if they owe nothing to the people or places they drew their wealth and authority from for the 350+ years.

Hudson's Bay wants to revert to its original plan to auction off its founding charter after more parties signalled interest in buying and then donating the 1670 document.

Also, its art auction could happen in November with 24 Indigenous pieces removed.

I wish I had time to do a search through 19th and 20th C newspapers reporting that they were witnessing a new & terrifying youth crime wave because dude, people have thought this at literally every decade. We’ve been here before and more cops and more jail didn’t fix things then and won’t now.

Winnipeg's transit overhaul was intended to deliver faster and more reliable service to better serve all corners of a growing city. But a Free Press/Narwhal analysis of the system before and after the June 29 transition date reveals a different story.

In the last decade or so in Manitoba I’d watch the pandemic, the late arrival of the opioid/poisoned drug supply crisis, & brutal provincial governments. I’d think man, it’s going to take a long time to get over this particular phase in colonialism’s history. And it really, really is.

for my sins, I'm re-reading the main tracts in support of national and nationalist Canadian history published in the 1990s, and what is striking is how very, very little they have to say about histories of Indigenous people or colonialism.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Today I wrote to Prime Minister Carney urging his government once again to ensure the safety of wildfire evacuees, especially women and girls who are at high risk of violence in urban centres, including through sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. (1/4)
The Right Honourable Mark Carney Prime Minister of Canada Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 CC: The Honourable Rechie Valdez, Minister of Women and Gender Equality The Honourable Rebecca Chartrand, Minister Responsible for the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency The Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources The Honourable Eleanor Olszewski, Minister of Emergency Management and Community Resilience and Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Canada The Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety Dear Prime Minister Carney, I write to you today to again draw to your government’s attention the extreme and urgent need for public support among wildfire evacuees in Manitoba, particularly for Indigenous people whose lives have been disproportionately impacted by this crisis. On multiple occasions I have written to your cabinet ministers to express my deep concerns surrounding wildfire evacuations and legislation like Bill C-5 that stands to exacerbate the severity of wildfires. However, I have not received a single piece of correspondence responding to these concerns, demonstrating a failure of government accountability which is simply unacceptable in this time of emergency. In particular, wildfire evacuations are placing the lives of Indigenous women and girls in danger, something your government has done little to address. A recent report by Thomson Reuters has reaffirmed that Manitoba is the province most impacted by the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG). Having been forced out of their communities and potentially lost their systems of support, Indigenous women and girls are very likely at greater risk of human trafficking and gender-based violence. Indigenous leadership have been vocal about these risks, as MKO Grand Chief Garrisson Settee claimed human trafficking and sexual violence against Indigenous women are among his utmost concerns at this time. With this in mind, it is especially disturbing that your government has pushed through Bill C-5 to approve pipelines and resource extraction projects without adequately consulting Indigenous leadership or women’s organizations on the front lines to end the ongoing genocide against Indigenous women and girls. The final report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls documented a relationship between resource development projects and violence against Indigenous women and girls, something that was echoed in the Standing Committee on the Status of Women’s report Responding to the Calls for Justice: Addressing Violence Against Indigenous Women and Girls in the Context of Resource Development Projects. In the House of Commons, I brought these reports to the attention of the Minister of Natural Resources, and he was unable to explain how the government would uphold the safety of Indigenous women and girls while pursuing new natural resource projects. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), of which the Government of Canada is a signatory and is legally required to uphold through Bill C-15, requires that “States shall take measures, in conjunction with indigenous peoples, to ensure that indigenous women and children enjoy the full protection and guarantees against all forms of violence and discrimination.” It is entirely incumbent upon your government to uphold its duty to Indigenous people and to take meaningful steps to address the crisis of MMIWG2S+ during this wildfire emergency. The silence from both you and your cabinet is sending a clear message that it is not taking the safety of Indigenous peoples seriously. I look forward to receiving a formal response from your government outlining what measures it will take to fulfill its fiduciary duty of care and ensure the safety of Indigenous rights holders. Sincerely, Leah Gazan, Member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre
