A really well written piece. A good example of economy of writing.

Galen Weston wants Canadians to believe grocery giants have no control over prices. But higher markups at the big chains have cost consumers $18 billion since 2020.

“Kinew has been a staunch proponent of mines and pipelines, even suggesting that not all laws regulating the mining industry are necessary.” Excellent read by @Pam_Palmater in @CDN_Dimension in regards to @WabKinew
I'm still a newcomer to Canada after 31 years. I also know myself to always be a settler on Turtle Island even after five generations. I still have a lot to learn.
I learned a lot from this article by @Pam_Palmater, Mi'kmaw citizen, lawyer and professor at Toronto Metropolitan University. It's about the renewed 🇨🇦 govt maneuvers to take away even more from colonized First Nations people.
If you're in Canada and don't already know this stuff -- as I didn't -- you might want to read this.

'...successive governments have used the call to abolish the #IndianAct as an attempt to either distract the public from the real issues related to First Nations resistance to resource extraction or to remove First Nations politically from the equation.'

You should all be following and paying attention to Pam Palmater's work. Her voice is critical in these discussions
My latest for @CDN_Dimension "Wab Kinew's Dangerous Distraction: History shows why First Nations have every reason to be wary of governments calling to tear up the Indian Act." There is always something more at play... #cdnpoli #indianact #firstnations
