Right after dealing with the news of the 215 at Kamloops residential schools we have an Islamophobic shooter carrying out a brutal attack. As Canadians we should come to grips with the racism and prejudice in our country.
You can make a difference today! Tell your MP to vote yes in Parliament this afternoon to end the federal government’s litigation against Residential School Survivors and this generation of First Nations children.
On Vancouver Island, a group known as Seven Generations was drumming and singing in honour of the children found in Kamloops when a pod of orcas appeared and swam by the group.
Priscilla Bruce described it as an uplifting moment for their community.
All of us in Canadian society, Church and State must do better when it comes to social justice for indigenous peoples. This nation was built of their backs in a process of genocide. Recognise it. Challenge it, push for change.
Everyone should read @cblackst document surrounding the legal actions the Trudeau government is pursuing against compensation for First Nation kids. Paragraph 52 in particular that denies systematic discrimination just reveals the hypocrisy of Trudeau.
The lives of 215 indigenous children in this country of ours(Canada) some as young a 3, lost in the cruel residential school process where state and church colluded to perpetrated cultural genocide. Never forget their lives. #IndigenousLivesMatter
Even if Palestine recedes in terms of the coverage it receives by mainstream media we must still continue to amplify the voices of those struggling against occupation and apartheid.
The indiscriminate bombing of civilian infrastructure and the bombing of the offices of journalists reporting on war is a clear war crime. No amount of self defense rhetoric can justify that. Which is what is happening in Gaza now.
#PalestinianLivesMatter That shouldn't even be disputable. From the lives of the 9 children who were killed in airstrikes, to the lives of the protesters who had the foot of security forces on their knecks, to those being forcibly evicted.
The people of Palestine are experiencing their Soweto moment. A rebellion against racism, and institutionalised form of apartheid that everyone of good conscience should be in solidarity with.
Derek Chauvin found guilty of all counts. It shouldn't have taken the visual images of black people being crucified over and over again to realise something is wrong. Still I am glad justice is done and I pray for George Floyd's family.
It has been months since the Biden Administration has been in power and he has yet to release Reality Winner @bjwinnerdavis has been advocating for her freedom and she should be free. Her conditions in prison are a disgrace and a violation of basic human rights.
In saying bodily autonomy trumps a right to life since the right to life makes bodily autonomy possible in the first place. In a more abstract sense I would say that this all depends on whether you think certain rights are inalienable. If you hold the view that(cont)
Trayvon Martin would have been 26 years old today. Lets remember all of those who were crucified in this society simply because their skin colour happened to be black.
The proud boys have been designated by the Canadian Parliament as a terrorist group. As they should. All white nationalists movements that engage in violent, harmful, racist attacks should be designated terrorists because that's what white nationalism is. Racial terrorism.
Already under Biden there are things happening I disagree with. Like reports of A U.S military convoy of 40 trucks in Syria. Even though Biden is far far far better than Trump he is not above criticism. Obama was far far better than Bush and his drone program deserved critique
Right of the bat. Rejoining the Paris Climate Accord, ending the Keystone Pipeline and ending the Muslim ban. This is good news. Good start to the Biden Administration.
Congragulations to Kamala Harris as the first woman of colour to be sworn in. As someone of Jamaican background it is good to seen someone of Jamaican descent sworn in. And Congrats to Biden for finally bring the Trump regime to an end as the next president.
When reading Martin Luther King Jr's Sermons, never stop at the I have a Dream speech. Read the radical sermons he preached in 67 and 68 against militarism, imperialism and poverty. Then you will get a full measure of the real revolutionary King.
