  1. On November 14, two #Montreal #police officers assaulted Dimitri Lascaris when he attempted to enter the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel, where #Canadian #PrimeMinister #MarkCarney was giving a speech.

    This is by no means that first time that he's been assaulted by the #cops in Montreal. These experiences have become a regular occurrence whenever he tries to attend speeches by Ministers in the #CanadianGovernment.

    This time, however, he managed to capture the assault on video.

    As he explains in his report from outside the hotel, it is now obvious that Lascaris has been placed on a government #blacklist. Although he's a #lawyer in good standing and a card-carrying member of the press - facts about which Canada's government is undoubtedly aware - it’s clear that the Liberal government has instructed Montreal police and the #RCMP to prevent Lascaris from entering any building where a Minister of the Canadian government is speaking - and to use force, if necessary, to exclude him.

  3. Maybe now is a good time for the government of Canada to re-think relying on Musk-xhitter for disseminating critical information about national security, foreign policy and emergency management?

    Would be great if all #CanadianGovernment entities could move to Mastodon, or at least #Fediverse friendly services like BlueSky or Threads. #capoli

  4. No Wonder the #TrumpTroLL has been #RAGE Trolling on his #SocialCult Platform, #Insane insults to the #CanadianGovernment & the #PrimeMinister of #Canada 🇨🇦

    Apparently #JustinTrudeau knows how to get under that Orange 🍊 Cheeto Dusted Skin of what #Melania would describe as:

    “A Very Low Energy Individual, in the Bedroom” 🦐🛌

  5. Looks like Elon is getting away with election interference yet again in Canada and there’s nothing any of us peons can do about it.

    Pierre Poilievre will happily ride Trump’s gilded coattails all the way to complete control over Canada.

    The wealthy right wing has colluded to pool their resources and buy our elections from now on, no one will stop them in future if this insidious behaviour is allowed to continue.

    Will Canadians be gullible enough to let Putin’s puppet elect yet another rw foreign pawn into power with his influence and big money?

  7. Contrary to common belief the #CPR did not import #ChineseLabor to build the Railway. The Chinese were imported by contractor Andrew Onderdonk, building through #BritishColumbia under contract to the #CanadianGovernment. The C.P.R. took over the line later.

    #BlackfeetNation to host first-ever Murdered and Missing
    #IndigenousWomen tribunal in the U.S.

    Posted on September 26, 2019 Last Read Indians, via #CensoredNews

    #MMIW tribunal to be held at the Blackfeet Community College in Browning, Montana the weekend of October 4-5 [2019]

    "'This is not just a Blackfeet or #Montana tribes’ tragedy, it is an #IndianCountry tragedy, and a national and international disgrace. This is a multi-generational epidemic the federal government has done nothing to address – even less than the #CanadianGovernment – which was found to be complicit in ‘deliberate race, identity and gender-based genocide’ by its own National Inquiry into MMIW,' said Chairman Tim Davis of the Blackfeet Nation. "

    "'The Blackfeet Nation is uniquely positioned to host this first of its kind MMIW tribunal in the lower-48 states. The Blackfeet Tribe (Amskapi Pikuni), a member of the Blackfoot Confederacy along with its three sister tribes – the #Piikani, #Blood and #Siksika, located in #AlbertaCanada, stands in solidarity in combatting the issue of MMIW (MMIP) in Indian country. “The truth is that we live in a country whose laws and institutions perpetuate violations of basic human and Indigenous rights. These violations amount to nothing less than the deliberate, often covert campaign of genocide against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people,' wrote Chief Commissioner Marion Buller in Reclaiming Power and Place, the final report of Canada’s National Inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls published on June 3, 2019.

    “'We are not divided by the border we are united in our grief. Many women and children stolen from our communities are trafficked back and forth between the US and Canada,' explained Chairman Davis.
    Tribal members constitute seven percent of Montana’s population, but the state identifies some 26 percent of missing persons as Native American. Available evidence suggests that may be a low estimate. Last year’s Urban Indian Health Institute Report identified Montana as the state with the fifth highest incidence of MMIW cases. Billings, which had the same disturbing ranking among cities, is a known-hub on the I-90 corridor through #CrowNation, #Cheyenne and #LakotaDakota country to Minnesota, along which indigenous women and children are trafficked into sex slavery. The western 'track' runs from Missoula to Seattle, Washington. As of spring 2019, Montana had not submitted any MMIW data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 'For those abducted into sex-slavery, the I-90 corridor is a second #HighwayOfTears, said Chairman Davis, drawing a comparison to the infamous highway in #BritishColumbia cited in #ReclaimingPowerAndPlace."

  11. #Submission from #CJPME to MP Matthew Green’s #Nakba Bill #Initiative, authored by Lena El-Malak, PhD, LLM; Nadia Abu-Zahra, PhD; Michael Bueckert, PhD; and Alex Paterson, MA.

    It includes #recommendations for how #CanadianGovernment can acknowledge this #historical #injustice & its own role in the #EthnicCleansing of #Palestinians & take steps to combat #Canadian #complicity in ongoing #Israeli policies of #erasure, #displacement & #dispossession.

  12. I never really thought to ask before… what exactly is the difference between a territory and province in Canada? Do Northwest Territories, Nunavet, and Yukon have the same representation in government? Is it different?

  14. Canadians! Recently learned our government has a public consultation on copyright and generative AI, in particular its impact on creative industries and "whether change is required to further improve or reinforce copyright policy for a modern, evolving Canadian economy."

  16. From the 1950s into the 1990s the #CanadianGovernment & the #CatholicChurch were responsible for taking, or “scooping” more than 20,000 #FirstNations, #Métis, and #Inuit children from their families and communities; known as The Sixties Scoop. They were placed in foster homes or adopted (accounts of children even being sold) into non-#Indigenous families across #Canada, the #United States, & beyond.
