Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

His anger is all of us.

Wow if I had known that, I could have saved myself years of therapy for attachment and abandonment disorders. To this day, my detachment game is strong - too good imo

Why isn't this a bigger story, and in mainstream media across the nation? Oh right...

We deserve answers. Our parents deserve to know that this was not their failure, but a deliberate campaign to fracture our families. #sixtiesscoop 🥚 sookenewsmirror.com/2025/12/22/s...

The chokey from Matilda. Disturbing. Good on the parents for speaking up. The school division needs to be held accountable for this.

"In speaking with many of these candidates, it became apparent that their expectations were unrealistic," the report said. "Many thought they would be provided with campaign managers, staff, volunteers and money." That...is entirely realistic in a well-prepared party. Blaming candidates is bs

B.C. Premier David Eby defended his right to criticize court decisions despite organizations that represent lawyers calling his recent comments unfair and irresponsible.

Today on the 10 year anniversary of the TRC inquiry, I again, bring your attention to the disproportionate number of Indigenous children in care in BC. In AB, SK, and MB, these numbers are much higher.

Economic growth no longer linked to carbon emissions in most of the world, study finds

"The missing step is still government regulations and incentives. Done properly, it's entirely reasonable to balance data center growth with environmental responsibility and avoid any negative impacts to the local area." www.techradar.com/ai-platforms...

25% Tariffs on US steel also means higher costs for wind turbine projects underway. Not exactly helping clean energy transition, creating sustainable jobs, etc. either. Sigh.

Seems like a missed opportunity to use AI for good. No shade, but I'd love to see more Indigenous content and writers in local journalism

It was a beautiful show of solidarity and support for Survivors 🧡🧡🧡

The Senate’s Indigenous Peoples committee is reviewing Bill S-2 and adding an amendment to get rid of the second-generation cut-off in the Indian Act with a one-parent rule. Cierra Bettens breaks it down with Pam Palmater on APTN News InFocus. Listen: pod.fo/e/35bf65

This poor baby. It's reminiscent of Phoenix Sinclair. Her life, and the inquiry into her torture and slow murder, cannot be for nothing. Do better Manitoba.

This morning's visitors 🦌

A new study finds many adult adoptees face challenges in health care because clinicians lack training on adoption and its lifelong impacts, highlighting the need for adoption‑competent care. 🥚

It feels really performative at this point, but a reminder that it’s National Day of Mourning for Native folks Relatedly, thousands of Native women are still disappearing and agencies are doing fuck all about it Learn more here: www.niwrc.org/mmiwr-awaren... And here: notournativedaughters.org

This is a very concerning story. Cold Lake First Nation is living in 3rd world conditions. They have been completely frozen out by Mark Carney/Danielle Smith's plan to drive a 400 km pipeline carbon capture facility on their land. This won't end well Mark. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/26/n...

The Look West plan is lazy and misses the mark for renewable projects, child care, and for industries led by women. Report Card score = D-

Danielle Smith just suckered Mark Carney into reviving the Northern Gateway pipeline. This is the antithesis of "nation-building." There is no economic, political or environmental case for Stephen Harper's dream. This won't end well. For Canada or Carney. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

It should never have passed in the first place 🤦‍♀️

Hoo boy the nons are big mad on this post on the I Am Adopted FB page. I haven't read all of the comments but they've been trolling my wall. Adoptees👏 Do👏Not 👏Owe👏 Their👏Caregivers👏Anything. Not loyalty, not gratitude, not anything. I will die on that hill. 🥚

Green Party of Canada 🇨🇦 - Fact check: No, U.S. oil tankers do not pass through the Hecate Strait. Elizabeth May shows exactly why the tanker ban exists, and why protecting it matters. #cdnpoli

If you're keeping score this week, Carney is: * Negotiating backroom deals on pipelines with Alberta and without BC or Indigenous folks. * Undermining anti-greenwashing laws. * Making deals with the UAE despite their role in Sudan. * Cutting funding for infectious disease work in Africa.

"Providing First Nations access to the economy creates stability, not conflict." The BC government has missed an opportunity to step up and show how it's done, but it's not too late to change that - if they wanted to.

"Indigenous populations disproportionately experience housing adversity and homelessness, whether urban, rural or on-reserve." The irony.

While I doubt either Brodie's or Sturko's bills will pass, it is gross that they're feeding off each other in an attempt to erode DRIPA and undermine Indigenous rights in BC. What's even more gross is that they supporters 🤮 peacearchnews.com/2025/11/20/e...

“The real barriers for businesses and trading across Canada are distance and transportation costs.” ...let's agree to everything but that 🤦‍♀️

Representatives of the Métis Nation British Columbia visiting the legislature Monday got up and left the public gallery in disgust as OneBC Leader Dallas Brodie asked a question rooted in residential school denial. Andrew MacLeod reports. #bcpoli

Gladys Radek, a B.C. activist is worried about the potential impact an influx of workers would have on the safety of women and girls in the region. She's calling for criminal record checks in the hiring of any workers. www.aptnnews.ca?p=279933

A court win for Cowichan Tribes and a wave of misinformation. On the latest APTN News InFocus, Cierra Bettens looks at what the Aboriginal title ruling really says and why it sparked fear in B.C. Listen: pod.fo/e/352bb6

"He told police he felt like a "nobody coming from nowhere," being picked up by two strangers and brought to a new country thousands of miles away from his homeland." He goes on to say how he made his adoptive parents' lives hell. 🥚 www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/c...

His release is a systemic and public safety failure. He is a danger to society and esp to Indigenous women. No more #stolensisters

The cost is also prohibitive. This is a move in the right direction.

"For the government to delay for two years will have a serious impact on children who need the support now...Two years is a long time in a child’s life.” Punishing deaf children is cruel and harmful to their long-term development. MCFS needs to fund MORE programs for language & support families 💰

Today, we honour all who served and sacrificed to protect our freedoms. Let us take a moment to remember and reflect. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget

Na’kuset is an Indigenous rights activist and Sixties Scoop survivor. Now she’s releasing a children’s book; I Am My Name. The book is about love, loss and a perspective on the Sixties Scoop for children to understand.

Dallas Brodie and her hateful rhetoric have got to go. Imagine hating on the very people you claim to represent in government and creating an entire political party around it! Despicable. Please sign and share. c.org/JctgszZTbf?s...

Nov 8th is National Indigenous Veterans Day. Despite their bravery, many Indigenous veterans returned home to systemic discrimination. They were denied the same benefits as non-Indigenous soldiers, excluded from veterans’ programs, & in many cases, lost their Indian status due to enlistment. 1/3

Its pro-saviour propaganda. As a newborn interracial adoptee, I did not "fare well" mentally, and rejected Christianity at adolescence. Actually, familial cultural connection is a protective factor for FNMI #SixtiesScoop adoptees: fpcfr.com/index.php/FP... Lots more where that came from. 🥚
