Canada’s residential school abuse survivors face fresh battle to stop testimony being destroyed First Nation communities warn that government must act as accounts face destruction, risking central part of Canada’s reckoning with its colonial past

Canada’s residential school abuse survivors face fresh battle to stop testimony being destroyed

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

👏 Canada 👏 Post 👏 is 👏 a 👏 public 👏 service 👏

Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.

Amnesty International is warning Canada is “rolling back” Indigenous rights.
Fast-tracked projects. Resource expansion.
All for short-term capitalist gains.
That’s not progress if it comes at the expense of First Nations, land, and treaties.

Indigo Girls' Emily Saliers Opens Up About Her Health With Honesty, Grace, and a Tour on the Horizon - That Eric Alper Emily Saliers has always sung from a place of honesty. That didn’t change on April 17, when she and Amy Ray sat together on a couch, guitars in hand, and shared something deeply personal with the Indigo Girls community. Saliers revealed she’s been diagnosed with two movement disorders, cervical dystonia and an essential tremor, conditions […]

Indigo Girls' Emily Saliers told the truth, and the truth was hard. Two movement disorders, no cure, and she's still heading out on tour. That is not weakness. That is everything. zurl.co/Ugnm6

If you think Doug Ford using taxpayer funds to buy his private jet is unrelated to his trying to have jets fly from Toronto's Island Airport, I've got a failed private waterfront spa at Ontario Place, a shuttered Science Centre, and a tunnel under the 401 to sell you.

Screenshot from a Wikipedia article about John Sobelen: The Progressive Conservatives won a majority government in the 1995 election, and Snobelen was appointed as Minister of Education and Training in Mike Harris's government on June 26, 1995. 3. Shortly after his appointment, Snobelen was filmed arguing that the PC government needs to "bankrupt" and to create a "useful crisis" in the education system so as to initiate significant reforms. This controversy provoked several calls for his resignation, and further unsettled the relationship between the government and the teaching community,

Snobelen & the Harris era PC’s finally got their wish in education. They’ve played the long game.

As per my post, he’s not in the headline or the story despite Canadian media usually reaching for connections to Canada in stories. Harper & the IDU support Orban, so it seems like a miss not to mention it. You are free to think differently.

He is an ally of Orban, through the organization he chairs, the IDU.

Never forget: Stephen Harper is a member of this pro-Orban crew, too.

In fact, Harper LEADS the IDU which helps get far right leaders like Orban elected globally.

And yet… our corporate media and the CBC fail to even mention this fact and its implications for Canadian democracy.

No mention of Orban’s buddy Stephen Harper in the title or the article. A surprising omission from a news organization that likes to find Canadians ties to stories.
