Recall that traitor. She's destroying Alberta, and allowing chaos. And the fact that we are at a crossroads, and she is allowing things to escalate. She doesn't deserve to be Premier of Alberta. #maplemaga #stokingthefire #treaty6 #treaty7 #treaty8 #byefelicia
What an imbecile. These ppl don't even understand what they are routing for: which is there own demise. They would simply be a vassal state. Incredible. Thank goodness it'll never happen. #treaty6 #treaty7 #treaty8 #abpoli
How about a Swap? We take #WA #OR #CA for what's left over after #Treaty6, #Treaty7, #Treaty8, portions of #Treaty4 and #Treaty10 as well as any unceded territories recognition.
Btw. How did @JeffreyRWRath Conduct hearing before the Alberta Law Society go?

I have yet to see the Stoney &/or Blackfoot be mentioned in these articles. For those that don’t know, Banff was created by colonialism, displacing Indigenous.

City of Calgary Mayor and Councillors, It is with great disappointment that our first communication to the newly formed council of the City of Calgary is to speak to an act of reprehensible violent raids perpetrated by the Calgary Police Service upon the most vulnerable residents. There can be no confusion that this was an act of deliberate harm and the continued genocide of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, who as you know disproportionately represent the population of homelessness in Calgary, as a direct result colonial violence. Targeting, arresting and dismantling desperate survival conditions of the most vulnerable people in the city will do nothing but perpetuate harm and cause further trauma. The loss of belongings, punitive fines and jail terms serve only to put the means of survival further from reach. Shelters and group facilities are not alternatives to housing and culturally appropriate wrap around services; they are places where people are forced to give up loved pets and belongings and are subjected to physical and emotional violence. Police sweeps are colonial tactics used to further displace vulnerable people and incarcerate Indigenous peoples to continue the displacement and assimilation tactics of land theft. They are not, as police Chief McLellan states “a collaborative and compassionate approach to addressing concerns about disorder and violent crime.” The measured and misleading language from the police Chief including statements such as “Arresting is connecting,” and “Arrests will be made when necessary, but always with dignity and care.” are intended to deliberately manipulate the public and camouflage the violence of raids and imprisonment each of the victims of Wednesday’s attacks will suffer from. Crime rhetoric weaponized during the recent municipal election is now being used to gain public sympathies for the acts of violence by the police. Many of the victims of these raids are Residential School survivors - the depravity of thi…
This city is situated on Treaty 7 Territory, a councillor or mayor has a duty to represent residents as good Treaty partners, honouring the true intent and spirit of Treaty 7, and the responsibility to protect from colonial institutions, the rights of Indigenous peoples to live in freedom, peace and security. We have a duty to ensure the care of survivors by acting on the fulfillment of all 94 Calls to Action and ending the continuing violence with the full implementation of the 231 Calls for Justice. Non-Indigenous people carry the responsibility for the governing structures of Canada, its provinces and municipalities and an obligation to end the colonial violence that continues today. Each one of us is responsible for dismantling the systems that harm children first.
