I was in the waiting room listening to Albertans, who’s rights are actually being stripped, talk more about the ostriches in horror. How on Earth do we bridge this gap?

City of Calgary Mayor and Councillors, It is with great disappointment that our first communication to the newly formed council of the City of Calgary is to speak to an act of reprehensible violent raids perpetrated by the Calgary Police Service upon the most vulnerable residents.

Many of the victims of these raids are Residential School survivors - the depravity of this violence against survivors is beyond despicable and is an inditement of the character of everyone involved or supportive.

Situated on Treaty 7 Territory, a councillor or mayor has a duty to represent residents as good Treaty partners, honouring the true intent and spirit of Treaty 7, and the responsibility to protect from colonial institutions, the rights of Indigenous peoples to live in freedom, peace and security.

Non-Indigenous people carry the responsibility for the governing structures of Canada, its provinces and municipalities and an obligation to end the colonial violence that continues today. Each one of us is responsible for dismantling the systems that harm children first.

If you aren’t fond of authoritarianism, a great place to start thwarting it is your local police force. You will likely discover it is the top publicly funded vehicle for fascism in your city.

Here’s how 31 Halifax police occupied a frequently used path recently, forcing pedestrians to walk by seven fascists demanding mass deportations. Cops attempted multiple escalations and arrested one of the antifascists. Cops are publicly funded fascist sympathizers.

Shelters are part of the problem IMO. Render the root cause (unaffordability) temporarily invisible, while forcing people into an undignified way of living, under the thumb of the state and fully exposed to its coercive arm (police).

Civil discourse is important, but the routine failure of physicians to declare their competing interests during public advocacy undermines good-faith debate, hiding agendas behind arguments.

This is an ideal moment for people in Calgary to challenge their new city councillors and mayor. Does this violence by police fit the vision city council holds for its most marginalized residents, and do councillors expect it to reduce public violence? If not, what is the plan going into winter?

Reminder that drug confiscations and encampment evictions increase risk of deaths. In Calgary in November, you can bet stealing people’s belongings also lead to frostbite injuries. Just criminal shit, through and through.

Calgary police are on a rampage downtown, using drones to find people and clear them off streets. Posting photos of unhoused folks they arrest (see twitter). It’s collective punishment for social disorder and violence they have failed to improve with prior violence. Film the cops if you see them.

No one should endure isolation that amounts to torture. Yet, Indigenous and Black prisoners continue to be disproportionately isolated, and people with disabilities are still being segregated instead of supported. This is why Tona’s Law (Bill S-205) matters. 3/4
