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?

I remember the CBC interview with the Haida representative about this, so awkward.
CBC: you did what now
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.

* we, in my anthropological view includes humans, immediate human ancestors and some primate relatives. We all have countless millennia dealing with each other’s nonsense and preserving the group interest for the generations! Dig deep people.

Canada supports bombing Iran; feels bad about it Podcast Episode · Sandy and Nora talk politics · March 4 · 46m

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.

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.

100,000 Homes: Housing the homeless saves money? Giving apartments to the chronically homeless can save taxpayer dollars, advocates say

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

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.
