Sixties Scoop adoptees also face this terrifying situation, even as the original peoples of this land. Disgusting.

Shameful of Eby and the BC NDP.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

the National Council for Adoption, which has spent $16 million on a Super Bowl ad positioning relinquishment for #adoption as the quietly heroic choice above the partisan fray, announced the departure of its president, who took a job in Trump’s HHS department. adoptioncouncil.org/press-releas...

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Adam Olsen ~"It is time that promise moves from aspiration to action by finally stitching Indigenous nations’ contribution as an essential panel in the pan-Canadian quilt," not as public opinion, but as full partners and decision-makers. 💯

Studies show that children fare better emotionally and spiritually in their family of origin, even with significant ACEs. Imagine if we invested in families and prevention instead of foster care! 🥚

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 🧡🧡🧡

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.

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 🤦‍♀️
