This Sunday marks the 50th anniversary of Prisoners’ Justice Day, a day to honour those who have lived and died in prisons across Canada and to reaffirm our commitment to ending systemic neglect, discrimination, and rights violations in our correctional system.

Odd head line? Perhaps One victim in Friday's hit and run...would be better. Then further down the vehicle fled the scene? How about the driver fled?

Some Germans serve raw ground beef with spices and chopped onion on crusty rolls as a birthday delicacy for coworkers.

Nice to see 10 senators signing this statement. The tide is slowly turning in Ottawa.

Indigenous sovereignty and Indigenous-led conservation are both crucial to Canada’s future — but they’re also widely misunderstood. @michellecyca.com explains in our latest video:

This Indigenous Peoples Day, we reaffirm our commitment to justice grounded in reconciliation. That means investing in implementing evidence-based decision-making, culturally appropriate community-based supports, and focusing on supportive rather than ineffective and punitive practices. 4/4

Stihl. Battery, self propelled.

Today, we say: we won’t be the U.S. on this. Instead, we will live up to our principles — justice, compassion, and real protection for refugees. On World Refugee Day, let’s recommit to a fair, open Canada — one that offers freedom, safety, and hope, not shutdowns and lockups. 3/3

In my latest Senate speech, I called on Parliament to safeguard against the misuse of the notwithstanding clause — particularly when it’s used to violate the Charter-protected rights of marginalized communities, including Indigenous women, racialized groups, religious minorities, and prisoners. 1/3

As an Indigenous person the government of Canada’s support of Zionism and the state of Israel makes me feel unsafe. Israel is currently exterminating Indigenous people and starting regional conflicts based on ethno-supremacy. The state of Israel needs to be denounced by all good Canadians.

This is ✨Senator Kim Pate✨

Canada's champion for Basic Income in Parliament

She just gave one of the most iconic speeches ever
- it's cheaper than poverty
- encourages work and entrepreneurs
- cuts crime and helps victims of abuse

On Wednesday I spoke at 2nd reading of Bill S-206 — a proposal to create a national framework for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income (GLBI).
Too many people are struggling to meet their most basic needs. It's time for Canada to invest in a system that leaves no one behind. #GLBI #PovertyReduction

Guaranteed basic income bill re-tabled in the Senate | Investment Executive PBO estimated in April 2021 basic income could cut poverty by 49%

Poverty is a policy choice – and it’s time for change.

Proud to have introduced Bill S-206 to establish a national framework for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income.

What are you personally doing to help Universal Basic Income get implemented? The easiest possible thing to do is to just talk about it more and help amplify posts that support UBI. You can utilize my timeline to save time. You can also donate to itsafoundation.org to help with our key UBI projects.

Oversight of solitary confinement needs an audit and overhaul The existing structure is seriously flawed. To be more than window-dressing, oversight must be supported, transparent and free from interference.

Solitary confinement and segregation persist in 🇨🇦 without effective oversight. This former contracted decision maker provides more evidence of the urgent need for the kinds of oversight and remedies proposed in Tona's Law. Stay tuned as we re-introduce it today! #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

📢 This week, I will be reintroducing four key bills aimed at building a more fair Canada.

Each bill reflects the urgent need to uphold dignity, improve justice outcomes, and eliminate systemic barriers – especially for those most marginalized.

Netanyahu blasts Starmer, Macron and Carney over Israel sanctions threat Western criticism grows over Israel’s military assault on Gaza.

The war criminal is angry that we are calling out his deliberate mass killing of children.
Total boycotts must be in place for all things Israeli.

Don’t trust the Liberal Party of Canada with Indian policy if they still support Zionism. It’s resulting in the extermination of human beings. Call them out on it at every single opportunity. Don’t let them cosplay being on the left. They also fight First Nations children in court.

Saskatchewan librarians push for better access to books in jails | CBC News For many Canadians, reading a book is part of daily life — whether its for learning, entertainment or peace of mind. But in Saskatchewan's provincial jails, access to reading materials is far from gua...

"Unlike federally-run prisons, which are governed by legislation that includes library standards, Saskatchewan's provincially-run correctional centres don't have the same requirements in place."

Heartbroken today to hear the Gem Lakes area burned up in forest fire. It was/will at one point again be one of the most beautiful spots in Saskatchewan with clear lakes and great camping spots. It was the first place my family went once covid restrictions were reduced.

Instead of criminalizing the unhoused with addictions, could the alcohol industry fund 24 hour free places to gather and begin heavily funding housing initiatives to support the individuals harmed by their products?

One in ten Canadians say their income doesn't cover basic living costs New survey finds 85% now view living paycheque to paycheque as normal, with average savings at just 7%

Yet more evidence of the need for a guaranteed liveable income that leaves nobody behind... #GLBI #cdnpoli www.benefitsandpensionsmonitor.com/news/industr...
