Today is Pink Shirt Day. Bullying doesn't stop at the school gates; it's more likely where power is concentrated, and accountability is weak. The same conditions that make schools and communities less safe for kids make workplaces less safe for adults. 💗
Choose kindness. #PinkShirtDay

Top half of the image displays an illustration of Alyssa's Wale's art A red line across the image beneath the photo. Within the line reads: “The Yellowhead Brief”. The bottom half of the image displays the brief title information: Reflections on “Rupture”: Mark Carney’s New World Order & an Indigenous Response. The YI logo is displayed on the right side of the image.
a quote is bordered by a dashed red line. A quotation mark sits at the top centre of the border and “The Yellowhead Brief” is placed in the bottom centre of the border. Inside the border reads: If there is one key difference between the international order and the Canadian order, it’s Carney’s reference to “rupture.” There has not yet been a rupture in the rules governing Indigenous people and the Crown. But, there should be.
Image is of a dark blue background. A dark red text box is displayed in the top centre of the image, white text reads, “Learn More”. White text in the centre of the image reads: Where do Indigenous people fit in Mark Carney's vision of Canada, leading the alternative to the "rules-based" order; and how are his comments hypocritical in light of the Crown-Indigenous relationship? Below this, smaller white text reads the title information:, Reflections on “Rupture”: Mark Carney’s New World Order & an Indigenous Response by Janna Wale & Michaela McGuire - Jaad Gudgihljiwah. A dotted red line separates the title information from the Yellowhead Institute logo displayed in the bottom centre of the image.
P.M. Carney’s speech in Davos received a rare standing ovation. In comments to build an alternative system, he inadvertently described the Crown-Indigenous relationship. Janna Wale & Michaela M. McGuire ask what this means for Indigenous Peoples.

"The assertion that First Nations rights are taking away from the general public is a dangerous and false narrative that is fanning the flame of discrimination in BC and across Canada. We won’t stand for it and expect that the Crown will not stand for it either" GCSP www.ubcic.bc.ca/fnlc_condemn...

🧵Canadian friends: if you want to vote for the next leader of the NDP, you have *just one week left* to buy a (cheap) party membership.
After that, there will be a big English debate and lots of media coverage, but it will be too late to have a say.
