  1. We're fucked in BC. BC NDP government are fascist adjacent #neoliberals who are going ahead with more #CrimesAgainstHumanity when we need serious #ClimateAction & strong, #criminal consequences for #ecocide #polluters.

    I'm not really surprised by this. It's pretty much the same sellout caucus as when top BC #colonial #capitalist crimes against humanity #BCNDP boss was running things(Rest in piss/shit Horgan💀). Since Eby was groomed & then kingmade by Horgan - this was bound to happen. More greasy ecocidal crimes will be happening while #BCNewDeathParty continues to greenwash & whitewash #CorporateGreed dirty deals 🤬 Supporters of BC NDP are complicit in their ongoing crimes against humanity 🏭👎💩

    "Eby’s speech to convention delegates preceding the vote laid out his vision to make the province the “economic engine” of #Canada , to get “big things done” and to “build it together.” This included strong language supporting the labour movement, and followed a day of unions flexing their influence in convention debates. Dissenting voices from those seeking more #environmental protection were generally left on the losing side of debates, as the #NDP ’s focus on prioritizing the economy was clear in convention resolutions.

    Despite some delegates calling the North Coast Transmission Line a “subsidy” for natural gas -fracking operations, a resolution to support it still passed. “I welcome the debate, I welcome the discussion,” Eby said. “It’s important to make sure we are addressing #climatechange and carbon #pollution. ” But overall, Eby received an enthusiastic reception and delegates were, for the most part, aligned with the government’s agenda."

  2. *One of my fierce sisters from another mister & fellow land/forest/water protectors, Jocey Alec & her family from #Wetsuweten #FirstNation are in this #documentary.

    The #BCNDP & #GovernmentOfCanada are both still trying to criminalize environmental & #IndigenousSovereignty activism. The #BCgovernment created #RCMPCIRG in 2017 to crackdown on protestors. They are strictly a corporate mercenaries branch serving industry interests not public interests. Citizens tax monies are being exploited by BC NDP to pay these militarized thugs to commit violence so #ecocide corporations can profit more.*

    Is #Canada at a point of no return, suffering the effects of #ClimateChange and worsening #wildfire seasons? Two controversial pipelines, the #TransMountain Expansion Project #TMX and #CoastalGasLink #CGL are being expanded and threatening the natural home of historically oppressed First Nations in Canada. But several First Nations are leading the fight against these massive #pipelines and becoming key advocates for protecting #nature from climate change.

    Being a #LandDefender comes at a cost: harassment, detentions by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
    #RCMP and threats from private security. But, in the face of setbacks, these #Indigenous #activists press on: “We are still fighting. This dance is not over yet.” In this episode, we hear the stories of the #IndigenousCommunities on the receiving end of these huge pipelines and their fight for the protection of both humans and nature.

    About Murder by Decree

    Murder by Decree is an #uncensored #record of the planned #extermination of #IndigenousChildren in #Canada’s murderous Indian #ResidentialSchools. It is issued as a corrective #CounterReport to the miscarriage of #justice by Church and State known as the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” #TRC. Based on eyewitness #testimonies and #archival #documentation deliberately suppressed or ignored by the TRC, Murder by Decree proves that the #genocide of #IndigenousPeople began as a religion-led campaign and continues to be a deliberate governmental policy in Canada. This Counter Report reveals these startling facts: – Over half of Indian residential school children began dying the very first year these church-run facilities were opened – This huge mortality rate continued unabated for over a half century because of deliberate practices of germ warfare according to a prescribed monthly “death quota” – Evidence of these crimes and their intentional nature has been continually destroyed by the RCMP and the #Catholic, #Anglican and #UnitedChurch since at least 1960 – The same genocide continues today, is aimed at indigenous women and children, and is driven by foreign corporate interests hungry for #NativeLands and resources Murder by Decree is issued by The International Tribunal for the Disappeared of Canada (ITDC), an international #coalition of #jurists and #HumanRights groups. The ITDC was formed in December, 2015 to investigate the disappearance of people in Canada, prosecute those responsible and prevent a further #whitewash by Canada of its #CrimesAgainstHumanity. This report is an answer to these #crimes and an urgent summons to the world and to all #Canadians to live no longer under #genocidal #regimes.

  4. #ColonialCrimes : World #Map of #Justice Initiatives.

    “Don’t portray us as a band of beggars coming to demand reparation. […] I think the Europeans have obligations to us, like all the unfortunate, but especially to us for harms that they caused. That is what I call reparation.” These words of Aimé Césaire, renowned Martinican author of “Discourse on Colonialism”, still resonate everywhere in the world 71 years after they were published.

    The issue concerns 70% of the world’s population, either as a citizen of a colonizing country or as one of the colonized, according to French #history professor Bouda Etemad, author of the book “Crimes and Reparations, the West faced with its colonial past”. The colonized and their descendants, he writes, have the right to demand #reparation from the #European powers for the harms these States committed over a period of 500 years, from the “discovery” of #America by Christopher #Colombus to independence in the second half of the 20th century. Forced labour, slavery, persecution, executions, extermination, bombardments, looting and forced cultural #assimilation: the list is long of violent #abuses that accompanied #colonization in #Africa, the Near East, #Asia, the Americas, #Oceania and northern #Europe.

    This special focus concentrates on the period known as the “second #colonial empire” which from 1815 marked the new #expansionism of the Western powers until the wave of independence in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

    #Canada’s #NationalParks Are #Colonial #CrimeScenes.

    Many see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as untouched #nature is unrecognizable to #Indigenous people

    In 2017, it felt like the whole country was swept up in the rah-rah celebrations around Canada 150. It was a collective anniversary, a chance to celebrate our history. Well, some of it, anyway. Tied to the many calls to explore the country and take stock of its many wonders, #ParksCanada released its Discovery Pass, which granted free entry to all national parks that year. These natural spaces “represent the very best that Canada has to offer,” it announced in a press release. “They are the essence of our country because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples.” But, as Robert Jago explored in his timely essay, Canada’s parks program was built on the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the capture of their territories—a form of “green colonialism.” Parks are wonderful spaces, but they have also acted as #political cover for the control of land, a tactic we still see used today.—Daniel Viola, senior editor, November 2023 issue.
