Dr @cblackst.bsky.social @caringsociety.bsky.social "The colonial stench of Indigenous Service Canada must be deep-cleaned, and the Department of Justice can’t keep defending the indefensible." @IRPP "ISC responds with inadequate or piecemeal actions." policyoptions.irpp.org/2025/11/indi...
The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal wants the Canadian government to present their long-term reform plan for the child welfare system on December 22.

From the statutory release of convicted killer Shawn Lamb to the early departure of Canada’s prison watchdog Ivan Zinger, the federal correctional system is under scrutiny.
That’s the focus of this week’s Truth and Politics panel.
Dr @cblackst.bsky.social & I co-authored an open-access academic article in Genealogy @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social about the need to protect Indigenous people from exploitation by lawyers & law firms in class actions. #law #cdnpoli #indigenous #classactions #clashactions www.mdpi.com/2313-5778/9/...
Check us out on Halloween with spooky stories from Indigenous peoples! Some of these stories were super spoooooooky. @kimwheels.bsky.social @siriusxmcanada.bsky.social #turtleislandtalks #indigiverse #halloween #indigenous
Should be noted that there is no options available to Palestinians in terms of another deal. Donald Trump and Israel are forcing a population undergoing a genocide to accept whatever they put forth or continue having the full extent of the Israeli military with US weapon support rain upon them
Canada cannot maintain its iron grip on the disappearing Indian formula under the Indian Act and claim to be committed to reconciliation. Legislative extinction for First Nations violates Charter, section 35, UNDRIP & our own laws. www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...
On the eve of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Pierre Poilievre spoke out for the group he says faces the most hate-based violence.
Um, and apparently that group is…Christians? (It isn’t).
I called for backup on this one. Luckily @pampalmater.com answered:
Reconciliation isn’t about token gestures, museum visits, or diversity training, writes @pampalmater.com. True reconciliation means respecting Indigenous peoples’ right to say 'No'—to development on their lands, to discriminatory laws, and to ongoing abuse.
Opinion: National interest should include the rights of Indigenous women

A quote from Battlestar Galactica that holds very true:
"There's a reason you separate the military and the police.
One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
Admiral Adama
The CHRT is ordering Canada back to the negotiation table on long-term reform of the child welfare system.
Talks have been at an impasse since chiefs in assembly voted down a $47.8-billion proposal from Canada in October of 2024.
First Nations are rightly concerned about C-5 and the potential impacts to our inherent, Aboriginal, treaty and land rights. No government should legislate for itself unfettered power to trump Indigenous rights. @niigaanwewidam.bsky.social @aptnnews.bsky.social youtu.be/ITMXQbbuZ_c
