How much was spent on surveillance as part of canada's genocide? Indigenous women's orgs have great ideas for where that money could be used for good instead of evil, if only they weren't facing funding cuts.

"2/5 It's especially disturbing that at the same time they're investing billions into the military industrial complex, ignoring their legal obligations to end the ongoing genocide against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people."

"The passing of Bill C-12 has already resulted in the revocation of thousands of refugee claims and undermines critical health coverage for asylum claimants. These actions have been supported by the Conservatives and the Bloc Québécois. (3/4)"

NWMP/RCMP were created to murder or otherwise force Indigenous Peoples off their own Lands, and maintaining white supremacy culture remains their core function.
Note that damage to vehicles is not fatal, unlike the violent actions of many, many killer cops in canada.

@mark-carney.bsky.social The grown up thing to do is apologise, and fully fund cleanup of the extensive mercury poisoning in Grassy Narrows. Ignoring this problem is unacceptable.

@davidebybc.bsky.social Suspending DRIPA is our descent into fascism. You need to stop attacking Indigenous rights for the benefit of industry, and instead focus on serving your constituents with policies like vacancy control. You were elected as NDP, not conservative.

Gross response, @mark-carney.bsky.social. Stop making quips and clean up the English-Wabigoon river system.
#cdnpoli #canadaSoRacist
I'm so done with all the "Canada is at risk of BECOMING fascist," as if we're not all sitting on stolen Indigenous Lands, as if Africans and other BIPGM weren't enslaved here from 1628 - 1838, as if police aren't still systemically killing BIPGM like they were created to do.

My family has also been violently / verbally attacked by white supremacists in Calgary in the past 5 years.

"[T]heir rights were violated under the “tied employment” provisions of the program that restricted them to work for a named employer only, and their “compelled” payments to Canada’s employment insurance premiums despite their disqualification from receiving the benefits."

"Since the first Women’s Memorial March, more than 970 names have been added to the list of women who have gone missing or been murdered in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES)."

"Robinson said, it's "quite concerning" that some are quibbling over the finer points rather than figuring how to fix the enormous problems at play."

We don't need speeches, we need a detailed plan for how @liberalca.bsky.social and @mark-carney.bsky.social will address systemic racism in canada.

Cutting this access to healthcare is part of how fascism is cultivated.
Temporary workers pay into our income tax, EI, and CPP, and are denied the benefits of these programs.

The first free Black person to move to canada was Mathieu da Costa in 1604, to work as a translator. The first Black person trafficked to canada was known to his enslavers as Olivier Le Jeune, in 1628. A lot has happened since then, and almost none of it is taught in CDN schools.

“Our actions impose a vulnerability and precarity on [migrant workers] before they even reach our borders ... These workers are not our guests. They are our hostages.”
"[P]oliticians wanted to stop employers from exploiting the system, not from exploiting the workers."

"Canada is built on a revolving door of labour supply, recruiting workers with the promise of permanence, only to discard them when convenient."
"Canada’s illusion of the ‘friendly neighbour up North’ has lured millions of migrants, just like me."

It should be impossible for Ontario (or any government) to find and hire people who want a job strip-searching children.
It should be impossible for any gov't branch to put out a job description for this and not expect massive pushback from voters.

Residential school denialism is Canadian fascism, and we truly can not afford any backslide on recognising and respecting the humanity of Indigenous Peoples.

"Being labelled [as] a criminal ... can be internalized by Black youth ... This approach to policing creates the sense that there is no reason not to become involved in crime."
"the way the Black boys are manipulated is similar to how girls are used in sex trafficking operations"

The survivor of this hospital's violence couldn't have been “destroying the place" since he couldn't walk with a broken leg. Terribly written article.
Also notice there's no mention of how SHA will make amends to the survivor. Switching security thugs isn't it.
#canadaSoRacist
Maintaining canada's genocide is the founding ideology of every public system we have, including healthcare and social services. Settlers systemically perpetrate violence against Indigenous people everywhere.
“He couldn’t have been a risk to anybody because he couldn’t even walk.”
#canadaSoRacist
Neoliberal governments can only envision prisons/jails in response to human need. They are not capable of delivering necessary services (housing, healthcare, education) to prevent harm. White supremacy culture forms the core of every public system in canada, and it shows.

NWMP/RCMP were created to murder Indigenous Peoples to clear the prairies for settlers, and killing to uphold white supremacy culture remains their core function. Canada was founded as a police state.
My condolences to the family. 💔

"Equinox is threatening our lives because it refuses to rehabilitate and return our land to us, it has been shut down by federal environmental authorities ... and now, ... it is focusing its strategy on criminalising our struggle and trying to put us in jail."

Since 2022, nearly 300,000 Ukrainian refugees have found safety in Canada. The choice to withhold the same offer of safety for Palestinian refugees is pure white supremacy culture. @liberalca.bsky.social should be ashamed of their blatant racism.

Remember when @liberalca.bsky.social cut immigration, temporary foreign workers, and foreign students, and said it would fix the housing crisis the liberals and cons caused by systemically underfunding public housing since the 1980s? #cdnpoli #canadaSoRacist
Canada's refusal to protect and ensure housing as a human right is part of the genocide against Indigenous Peoples. It's also terrible for the rest of us. #cdnpoli #canadaSoRacist
Meanwhile 300,000 Ukrainians were able to find safety here.
Palestinians, Congolese, Sudanese, Haitians, and probably people from many more BIPOC countries are intentionally and systemically denied their humanity and safety by @liberalca.bsky.social. Shameful. #cdnpoli #CanadaSoRacist
