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?

Today on International Inuit Day, we honour Inuit leadership, culture, languages, and the ongoing fight for justice, self-determination, and equality. Inuit have long led the way in advancing human rights, community-based solutions, and land and water stewardship. 1/3

We have a responsibility to listen, act, and ensure policies reflect Inuit priorities – from housing, income and food security, health care to safety, climate action, and the rights of Inuit women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people. 2/3

Founders of groundbreaking Vancouver compassion club found guilty of drug trafficking Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum, who sold club members drugs they had tested for safety, plan to launch a constitutional challenge against Canada's drug laws on November 24. pressprogress.ca/founders-of-...

Here it is, through the eyes of @brishti.bsky.social 🔥⬇️

At some point, when all this is settled, I would like the BC public to hold this person to account for her disinformation and the community harm it has wreaked. Well done @brishti.bsky.social getting more for the public record.

BREAKING: DULF organizers found guilty of trafficking. More to come w/ @tsk.bsky.social in the courtroom today. Legal fund linked below ⬇️ please give what you can. This is just getting started.

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.

Police sweeps are colonial tactics used to further displace vulnerable people and incarcerate Indigenous peoples to continue the displacement and assimilation tactics of land theft.

The measured and misleading language from the police Chief including statements such as “Arresting is connecting,” and “Arrests will be made when necessary, but always with dignity and care.”

... intended to deliberately manipulate the public and camouflage the violence of raids and imprisonment each of the victims of Wednesday’s attacks will suffer from.

Crime rhetoric weaponized during the recent municipal election is now being used to gain public sympathies for the acts of violence by the police.

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.

The solution to homelessness is housing. The solution to addiction is healthcare and culturally appropriate supports. The solution to crime is ensuring all peoples have their basic needs met.

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.

We have a duty to ensure the care of survivors by acting on the fulfillment of all 94 Calls to Action and ending the continuing violence with the full implementation of the 231 Calls for Justice.

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.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Musk to get a one trillion dollar pay package. The man who almost single handedly caused the death of 600,000 people will become even richer He’s killed children & the most vulnerable He dismantled one of the most successful aid programs in the world He bought an election & installed a fascist

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.

Huge decision this Friday from the BC Supreme Court on whether the DULF compassion club organizers, Jeremy Kalicum and Eris Nyx, walk free. 1/ drugdatadecoded.ca/everyone-kne...

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?

This blitz has of course been reported as a success. #ACAB

Calgary Police blitz because Calgarians are happy to exploit Indigenous Peoples’ without any accountability. #SettlerColonial #Trauma

#Alberta #Teachers #MMIWG2T

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.

The Alberta government has chosen not only to exempt this legislation from constitutional labour protections, but also from an entirely unjustified, seemingly unrelated, and broad range of other fundamental freedoms and protections guaranteed by the Canadian Charter.. albertactla.com/wp-content/u...

Yesterday, we honoured the memory of Mazina Giizhik-Iban – The Honourable Murray Sinclair. He was a brilliant jurist and senator, a generous mentor and friend, who was profoundly kind, caring and compassionate to all. 1/4

Recent articles by The Canadian Press and The Guardian highlight what too many families, human rights advocates and front-line workers already know: Canada still allows solitary-like confinement with no fixed time limits, despite overwhelming evidence of the lasting harm it causes. 1/4

18 Years after Ashley Smith’s preventable death, her family is still waiting for the promised implementation of the inquest jury calls to end segregation and transfer people with disabling mental-health issues to appropriate community-based mental health care. 2/4

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

Policing 101: remember to yell “stop resisting” while assaulting someone within an inch of their life.

“Lukaszuk is hoping the government chooses to adopt it as policy and avoids a province-wide vote. Going straight to a referendum would be the nuclear option. He wants the government to save the province from a “divisive, prolonged referendum campaign.” www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Today marks 108 years since the Balfour Declaration, which in 1917 saw the British Empire promise historic Palestine to the Zionist movement laying the foundation for waves of ethnic cleansing and the ongoing colonisation of Palestine by apartheid Israel.

"From the outset of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, 22-year old Palestinian journalist Abubaker Abed reported fearlessly on Israel’s crimes. ...fearing that #Israel would target not only him but his family too, Abubaker made the painful decision to leave the #Gaza Strip." www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-1e...
