Some suggestions:
Differentiate between the countries within "The Americas" (North America & South America each having several countries quite separate from the United States of America).
Buy Canadian where you can.
Support Human Rights in all forms, including putting an end to anti-DEI rhetoric.

Ford 'doesn't know what he's talking about' when it comes to basket weaving, Indigenous artist says | CBC News A third-generation Indigenous basket maker is setting the record straight about his craft β€” it's a part of his culture, it's valuable, and artists can make a living off of it.

Standing with you, but as a concerned & engaged citizen. You're on the right track, but while I get priority ordering, you're bending too much on some of your #Values & need to learn HOW to listen to #FirstNations properly. Put in that work &/or quickly select team members who have. It's fundamental

While you are correct, I think the general vibe is, feds, please push the provinces for this too.

Unfortunately, no strong historic/linguistic basis for this.
Great idea socially if appropriate First Peoples are on board... or to lead to a term 1 or pref. all surviving regional First Nations agree with.

I'll call it The Contested Gulf of Mexico until I hear back.

It's not for everyone, you're right.

It's for T&Q: Trans & Questioning individuals.

Although I'd bet they have some contacts they give folks who call that don't quite fall in their mandate.

I'm still glad this is being offered.

Article "A shocking racist event in Alberta's history: the "Aryan Fest"

highlighted: Provost, Alberta

Standout section: At the event, there was a cross-burning and display of a sign reading "KKK White Power" and a swastika flag. Participants wore Nazi uniforms, shouted racist and anti-Semetic chants, and displayed and discharged weapons.

Last paragraph states that a board of inquiry found that the individuals involved and the organization contravened Alberta's human rights legislation.

Is this what I think it is? Flipping the #narrative from most of #history to instead be all about the #women?

I'm STILL looking for a good one! Any suggestions? I can't have it interfere with my glasses, as I'm impaired a lot as is. I of course wear one anyway when any risk is up, but I'd rather do it more if it didn't reduce my ability to participate properly and safely.

To get the DTC it costs min. $100, + time, energy, transport$, etc often several times per app, often applying more than once. Plus it's hard to get most tax filers to properly utilize the DTC as most don't understand it & if not used it can lapse πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ anyone could become disabled. We all need to care!
