Dear Settlers, 1. Read the #RCAP report. 2. Then read the #TRC reports. 3. Then the #MMIWG report. In that order. (links below)

If you think Russell Brand was targeted because he was speaking up against "the establishment" then someone needs to cut your sandwiches into circles for you so that you don't hurt yourself on the corners.

November 10, 2026 The Daily Drum Today I am featuring “The Archer”. The Mi'kmaq have a long history of using bows and arrows for hunting and warfare, a tradition considered deeply spiritual and connected to their identity. Have a Great Day!

We need some help here in Canada too, where Indigenous Women are over-represented in prisons. Many of whom have already endured male violence. Now being forced to share cells and showers with men who 'identify' as Women. This is cruel and unusual punishment.
This is very very good news. Now, can some of you attorneys PLEASE for the LOVE of GOD start talking to incarcerated women in other states and start taking their concerns seriously? Please? This is a human rights violation for women. There are international humanitarian guidelines that very clearly state female and male prisoners must be housed separately. We know that around 86% of incarcerated women are survivors of sexual violence, male violence. We know that many women are living with PTSD, which is absolutely a condition covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act, and we know that housing these women with violent men is absolutely a trigger for these women. I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that there is plenty of legal precedent that already exists to fight this. I know the courts are captured, but you’re never going to win if you won’t even try. This attorney tried, and he won his female client an award. Why aren’t more of you willing to at least TRY to step up and help these women? You can tell a lot about a society by how they treat women and how they treat prisoners. I do not accept the conditions society expects me to live under today, this is not the society I want to live in that is so dismissive of actually vulnerable people.

I don't think the men in dresses should be the ones deciding what harms women. I think women can identify the things that harm us. Men who enter women's spaces, harms us.

Land Back means liberation for our Palestinian relatives too. If you’re not with that, then you can’t claim you’re for Indigenous people.

Please understand Public sympathy evaporated when it became clear that males were claiming the right to enter female sports, changing rooms, women’s jails etc,, and that activists were demanding “sex change” drugs, hormones and surgeries for minors. When it became clear that gender identity believers were trying to force people to use their language. You can blame TERFs if you want: we organized, spoke and wrote about what was going on. And now the public knows. The public will never accept “gender identity” being prioritized over sex.
This is an awful situation. Terfs have created a hostile environment for trans people. I hope the tide is changing and hopefully a trans inclusive conversation therapy ban will help but I'm left these days trying to cling on to little glimpses of hope. Trans men are men

Canadian Foreign Minister @AnitaAnandMP has announced that Canada is reimposing sanctions against 11 Iranian entities “for contributing to the Iranian regime’s proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities…” Iran has no nuclear weapons and is a member of the non-proliferation treaty, whereas Israel, a state that is committing genocide, possesses nukes and is the only state in West Asia that is not a member of the non-proliferation treaty. Why doesn’t Mark Carney’s government sanction Israeli entities that contribute to Israel’s nuclear weapons program? Is this what Carney meant when he told the adoring Davos crowd that Canada would apply the same standards to allies and rivals?

Btw American colonization is still ongoing it isn't a thing of the past, people need to stop acting like the colonization of America was something that ended in like the 1890s.

Just arrived at The Hague. On Wednesday, me & American taxpayers will file a complaint at the ICC against Trump & Rubio for their complicity in genocide, with hundreds of pieces of evidence detailing that complicity. Use our tax dollars to improve our country, not kill kids.

The funny thing about Carney bringing in his neoliberal ideas is that when they fail to improve material conditions, people will switch to the Conservatives, who will bring in even more neoliberal ideas.

Russell Brand admitted to rape and sexual assault on stage, in TV interviews, on panel shows, in his book, and in his private messages, so clearly this must be an establishment stitch up

Everyone knew about Russell Brand. Everyone knew about Diddy, R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

I was a teenager in the Midlands when the Yorkshire Ripper was at large. Reclaim the Night was started by WOMEN for women then. Any attempt to hijack it, as in Nottm, with violence, or to infiltrate it by cross dressing is very wrong and disturbing. Stop it.

Diwali celebrates the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.
This is Canada. This is what tourists see when they arrive at Toronto Airport.
