Matawa First Nations is a non-profit tribal council that supports nine First Nations in north-western Ontario and they have had to declare a state of emergency due to the federal government’s funding cuts.

Danger doesn’t always look dangerous. It can hide in fish, face creams, or the air. This week in Geneva, countries meet for @minamataconvention.bsky.social’s #MinamataCOP6 to step up action to #MakeMercuryHistory and protect people and the planet. More: bit.ly/4qQZfKv

I can't stand the anticipatory language being used for things that are happening now or even in the past. The US is not on the way to dictatorship, it is one. The climate crisis is not almost about to happen. It is happening. Gaza was not on the brink of famine, a famine happened. Stop it.

The Mikisew Cree First Nation calls for the rejection of a proposal being considered by the federal government. They say this proposal could lead to toxic tailings in their oilsands and would harm both the people and the environment there.

My law firm is currently litigating 13 redistricting cases and an additional 50 voting and election cases. 63 lawsuits and those numbers are growing. While this is a lot for a firm with fewer than 60 lawyers, I am proud that we helping to defend free and fair elections and democracy in court.🗳️⚖️💪

The real question in my mind is why do they want to hoard such vast amounts? They know they can't take it with them in the end, right? It is completely beyond my comprehension. I can only assume it is the capitalist religion that more money makes you better somehow.

What now for the global plastics treaty?

Today on APTN National News: The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations held their annual assembly, but left out the public’s most interested topic

Laughable. Who would harvest the crops we all need to eat? Repair infrastructure?

Critics? Experts. Federal law requires comprehensive asbestos inspection, notification, and abatement before any demolition," wrote the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) last week. "No publicly available information demonstrates that these statutory obligations have been fulfilled."

"Let them eat ballrooms"

And today, the bill banning speed cameras passed, avoiding public consultations in the process to make it happen. One less tool municipalities have for making streets safer for everyone. seanmarshall.ca/2025/10/29/s...

At Demartino Hospital “she was directed to a new building erected during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic. These days, it has been repurposed to respond to an old foe: diphtheria, a horrific and vaccine-preventable disease, which is infecting thousands of children and some adults too.”

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

The Ontario government is scrapping its plans for consultations on changing the law that currently allows for month-to-month tenancies, a move that housing advocates say is a relief but doesn’t go far enough. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1149562...

Every time I read news talking about how Canada's bail system is broken I think I'm going mad. Like, yes, it's broken. It's far too restrictive and too many innocent people are incarcerated for too long. But that's absolutely not what the politicians mean. Wtf?
