An essential episode of Alberta Unbound. Chief Conroy Sewepagaham of the Little Red River Cree Nation talks about the wildfires that devestated his community, and the lack of help they’ve received to rebuild. A powerful voice all Albertans and Canadians need to hear and heed. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/alberta-unbound/id1511810939?i=1000702064761 #AlbertaUnbound #Alberta #wildfires #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #LittleRedRiver #Jasper #Canada #Cree

Leaving Rome this morning, grateful to all the leaders in regenerative agriculture who shared their wisdom with our delegation from the Standing Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry. It was a busy work week, without much time for sightseeing. But we slipped in a few sights where we could! #Rome #AGFO #CuriaJulia #RomanSenate #SpanishSteps #Colosseum #SenateofCanada

What should we do about "Pretendians" - academics, politicians, authors, film-makers, etc., who claim Indigenous heritage, on false or willfully deluded, grounds? The Senate is debating this complicated issue, and I spoke to the issue this week, starting with the intriguing complexities of Alberta senator James Gladstone, the first "Status Indian" to serve in the Senate of Canada. https://youtu.be/qmnwBOWk-fM #SenateofCanada #abpoli #FNMI #Pretendians #SenCa #indigenous #ableg #GreyOwl

A very timely Alberta Unbound interview with the great environmental journalist Ed Struzik on wildfire in Alberta - and also about the threat to Edmonton’s river valley. I hate the phrase “must listen.” But you really really should listen. https://open.spotify.com/episode/6iiwLKYcQjivZ4AOahl58t #Alberta #Edmonton #yeg #wildfires #wildlandfire #AlbertaUnbound #EdStruzik #Canada #SenateofCanada #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #abpoli #cdnpoli #wildfire #FortMcMurray #SlaveLake #BorealForest

I had a magical afternoon with the Grade 9 student of Namao School, just north of Edmonton. We talked all about the Senate. I met their school dog Boba. Then they presented me with a beautiful painting by talented Indigenous artist, and Grade 9 student, Natanis Barrett. Thank you to Ms. Kalinda Wiebe, the teacher who led our great session. #Alberta #Namao #Edmonton #SturgeonCounty #SenateofCanada #Sengage #cdnpoli #DogsofMastodon #dogsofmastodon
