good governance requires honesty: acknowledging responsibility. accountability requires addressing systemic gaps, failures and harms.
not taking a fake-ass apology from a conveniently detestable villain
not DOWNLOADING responsibility to the PRIVATE SECTOR
apologies?
The US prefers to spend billions on foreign wars that destroy futures instead of keeping people safe, housed, fed and secure. @mark-carney.bsky.social is this what you support?
New war hawks, same old WMD
I read this like a tiny story whose characters I didn’t know. It’s perfect.
I remember the CBC interview with the Haida representative about this, so awkward.

Haida: we escorted the offender to the edge of the territory to ensure his well being, then sent him off
CBC: ah
Haida: As is the law.

at times yes
I’ll order this from my library and read the poems, but for now am appreciating the gorgeous cover art, just look 😍
Bring back banishment
Listen to Sandy and Nora on Canada’s position in the latest US/Israeli war, and US/Israeli belligerence more widely. I never tire of @sandela.bsky.social laying out US crimes and asking our leaders “this is who you’re supporting!?”. Imagine if they had to answer. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s...
No kidding I spent too much of my young reading life gobbling up whatever my (patriarchal white) culture put in front of me, no more of that.
All femme writers all the time now
my solution to this is to not read novels by men

This is good news for Kamloops! @nancybepple.bsky.social has been a voice of reason, justice and compassion on city council, holding it down during the last tumultuous term while thinking ahead for the whole community. She has my support 🧡

I want to see Canada stand with Spain on this.
According to a Saskatoon report, nearly 83% of the people who are without stable housing are Indigenous.

A tooth infection! That is some medieval level neglect. Condolences to Damas’ family, fuck ICE, and protect people from the United States.
A long overdue reckoning for Henrietta Lacks — the Black woman whose cancer cells led to breakthroughs but were harvested without her consent. Novartis has settled a lawsuit by Lacks’ estate that alleged the pharmaceutical giant profited off her cells.

Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”
Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth
Canada shouldn’t have a "blind spot" for arms exports.

Debate: March 9
Vote: March 11

cc Kamloops mayor and council, who are forever trying to pass the buck to other levels of government, keeping taxes artificially low while homelessness rises precipitously around us: THE SOLUTION TO HOMELESSNESS IS HOUSING!
Nilo Tabrizy @ntabrizy.bsky.social on @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social just now: “Once you start reporting on Iran, as someone who is born there, you can’t ever return”.
It’s an unimaginable sacrifice. Protect her work, protect journalists!!
Culver was tackled off his bike, pepper-sprayed in the face, punched in the head and elsewhere, and arrested for nothing more than being Indigenous. “I can’t breathe,” he said. He died at the scene. His killers lied about it.
Disband the RCMP.
