It’s been nearly six months since Calgary’s police leadership vanished from service without explanation, weeks before the G7. Tight control of info created a de facto media blackout.

In June, I asked police commission for related documents. Here’s what came back:

Jackie and her cousin were sharing a meal on a bench on 17th ave when a group of four individuals approached them, asking for directions. Jackie got up to help that’s the kind of caring person she was. Instead of gratitude, she was attacked. The men jumped out of a car and stabbed her.

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

Displacement as policy The emergency declaration revealed what Barrie has long wanted: not to solve homelessness, but to export it. Nuttall has been explicit that part of the city’s strategy is to “repatriate” unhoused people to their “home communities.” Translation: if you are poor, unhoused, and without family support, you are not welcome here. Barrie’s solution is banishment.

Last year I criticized Vincent Lam for his congratulatory framing in a Globe piece, in which Timmins opening a detox drove a reduction in overdose deaths.

But the data suggested those deaths had been pushed out to “home communities” through brutal municipal policy.

ricochet.media/justice/hous...

In Barrie, poverty is the crime and visibility the emergency The Ontario city’s so-called ‘state of emergency’ is a manufactured crisis built on cruelty, not care

Worthwhile analysis in @ricochetmedia.bsky.social on the place we end up when our only response to poverty is criminalization.

Our family has lived with heartbreak, unanswered questions, and the pain of not knowing who is responsible.

Picture below text on right of Jackie Crazybill a beautiful woman with dark hair and red lipstick smiling at the camera. Text to the left of the picture She was a mother, a loving sister, an auntie, and a daughter. She was the heart of family gatherings, the one who kept everyone together. Since her passing, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews have been born — children who never got the chance to know her, yet whose lives have been deeply affected by her loss. It has now been 17 Christmases, 17 birthdays, 17 Thanksgivings that we have missed with Jackie, while the people responsible have continued to celebrate those same milestones with their families.

Our network stands in solidarity with the flotilla participants bringing life-saving aid to Gaza who have been illegally abducted by Israel.

While the ceasefire deal brings hope, it does not erase the suffering Palestinians have endured, or Canada's complicity.

Letter analyzing Canada's "risk of complicity" in Israel's genocide - Just Peace Advocates On August 28, 2025, we sent a detailed analysis to Senator Woo, outlining Canada's "risk of complicity"

Many thanks to @icjpalestine.com and Just Peace Advocates for their superb input on my motion on Canada's risk of complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza. Not just Ottawa, but all Canadians should be asking about their complicity.
