Here is what our COVID-19 research has found so far (thread):
1. Mothers are cutting back or dropping out of employment
2. Fathers work time has remained largely unchanged
3. Fathers in couples where both work from home are working the same amount of time

30% of those in federal prisons are Indigenous. We are about 5% of the total population.
This is genocide.
Not one criminal should be vaccinated ahead of any vulnerable Canadian or front line health worker.

"Today is not a good day." Here is a video showing portions of Seth's speech today at the Ring Road opening. #yyc
I've been watching the ceremony opening a portion of the Ring Road in Calgary, and an Indigenous man just wrapped up a speech about how this is a bad day, and the road was built on his family's stolen land. He finished by cutting off his braids and tossing them on the road. #yyc

I dated this guy once who spent the entire evening talking about what a great athlete he was in high school. Because he was now 50, this was pitiful.
I do not know why this picture of this man in that jacket reminds me of that date but it really, really does.

"Land is essential for freedom justice and equality"-Macolm X. We've reclaimed territory that was once where our ancestors rested. We've come back to the land and created a community led by BIPOC women and femmes. #yeg #yegdt #yegtraffic #yegcc #yeglocal #abpoli #AbLeg #Pekiwewin

Today marks 100 yrs since the 19th Amendment was ratified granting women the right to vote! Despite this, women of color still struggled to vote for the next 45yrs due to suppression and intimidation. Let’s continue to fight so that every vote is counted and every voice is heard!

Carleton University's criminology department just announced that it will be cutting ties with cops and correctional services, acknowledging these connections make them complicit in breeding institutional racism within the criminal justice system.

Matthew McKnight drugged and raped me when I was 18.
Likely 100s of victims
23 women came forward
13 went to trial
5 convictions
Nearly 7 years after my assault, and he just got sentenced to only 8 years.
A reminder that the 8 year sentence given to Matthew McKnight fits within what was proposed by the defence (5-9 years). We're hoping to speak with @DinoBottosLaw soon. The Crown asked for a 22.5 year sentence. Story just posted. cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/… #CBC #yeg @QB_Alberta
