I’ve used Her Own Fault in teaching for years, and whoo boy, it tells you a whole lot about gender, racialized respectability, and public health discourse in inter war Canada.

Lolsob, for real.

July 24, 2025 The Honourable Rebecca Alty, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations The Honourable Mandy Gull-Masty, Minister of Indigenous Services The Honourable Eleanor Olszewski, Minister of Emergency Management and Community Resilience The Honourable Rebecca Chartrand, Minister of Northern and Arctic Affairs CC: Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) Grand Chief Garrison Settee Dear Ministers, I write to you today to reiterate the urgent, ongoing threat posed by wildfires in Manitoba and the critical need to assist those affected, particularly the northern First Nations and communities that have been hit the hardest. As ministers in the Government of Canada, you are responsible to uphold Canada’s renewed nation-to-nation relationship with First Nations. This includes taking all necessary measures to ensure First Nations and their members are provided with the necessary resources to deal with the impacts of the wildfires both within and outside the impacted First Nation territory. It has now been over two months since the Province of Manitoba first declared a state of emergency due to extreme wildfires, and evacuees remain in need of support to navigate this stressful and traumatic experience. Over 17,000 people have been evacuated – especially First Nations people in northern communities – many of whom have come to my community of Winnipeg Centre for refuge. Not only have evacuees reported experiencing difficulties accessing safe and secure accommodations in these times, but Indigenous evacuees lack culturally appropriate trauma supports at a time of displacement and loss of connection to their homes, culture and communities. First Nation leaders have voiced urgent concern once

repatriation occurs that the trauma of evacuation could fuel mental health and addiction issues. The federal government must ensure that resources and supports adequately meet the ongoing needs of evacuees as they repatriate to their respective First Nations, as the current funding models fall short in providing the necessary resources. As the Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed, the Crown bears a fiduciary duty of care towards First Nations that includes adequate resourcing for First Nations. To a greater degree, First Nations continue to urge the Government of Canada to meaningfully support the co-development of pragmatic solutions that would protect First Nations from wildfires and to ensure their safety and wellbeing when they are consequently evacuated from their lands. I have witnessed several First Nation leaders in recent weeks taking proactive measures to fill service gaps left by governments in response to the evacuations. To fulfill your obligation to First Nations rights holders, I urge you to protect the health of evacuees with supports such as culturally competent counseling services, community led support networks, substance use support programs and safe spaces for cultural expression as immediate priority areas to support these continued needs as identified by the leadership. I also urge the Government of Canada to take all actions within its powers to alleviate wildfires which continue to impact treaty lands, including deploying the Canadian Armed Forces to assist with wildfire mitigation and to put an end to this emergency. Sincerely, Leah Gazan, Member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre

Today I wrote to Liberal government ministers reiterating calls by Indigenous leadership to respect Crown obligations to First Nations and uphold the health and wellbeing of wildfire evacuees.

Sending all my love to survivors and others impacted by sexual assault. I stand in solidarity—in rage and grief—against systems that normalize sexual violence and discredit women and other targeted people. EM deserves a better world. We all deserve a better world.

Interesting how 80% of the press corps are stenographers for law enforcement when the subjects are poor and working people but when it comes to the powerful, all of a sudden everything is alleged and also "hard to prove."

It has never been more important for historians to teach the histories of eugenics as often as possible, to as wide an audience as possible.

Yep. But fwiw I think undergrads write “better” - more clearly and with more ease - than they did when I started teaching. Maybe all the texting etc makes writing a familiar kind of expression in ways it was not before.

Same here, along with 12,000 people, overwhelmingly
Indigenous, evacuated. I’m not feeling optimistic about the future.

the University of Manitoba's Fort Garry campus relied on water from the Red River (and swam in it) until they tied into Winnipeg's Shoal Lake-fed aqueduct in 1934. Thanks to Wayne Chan for this research: www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/mb_hist...

Beautiful northern ontario backdrop, Black and Indigenous characters at the centre of the story, very cool soundtrack, you should go!

40 Acres with R.T. Thorne TIFF is a charitable cultural organization with a mission to transform the way people see the world, through film.

If any Winnipegers are interested in two hours of solid AC and an insightful and intense film about people who have lived through apocalypses staring down a future one, go see 40 Acres: www.tiff.net/events/40-ac.... It’s showing at the McGillivary cinema, prolly not for long!

is thinking that the inevitable & important critique of extractivism + the callout of a minister's words on a hot mic are signals that the current MB NDP government's prolonged honeymoon period is done.

It would be a different world if we weren’t always at the ready to punish women for their humanity.

I don’t mean to minimize people’s negative experiences, but just to flag that we are seeing more attention to busses and bus riders than usual, and there is a risk in seeing the old system as functional and meeting people’s needs, which it was not and did not.

Media coverage is showing people’s responses to Winnipeg transit’s massive route overhaul as overwhelmingly negative, but I wonder how different those responses would have been if people had been asked the same questions last week, last month, last year.

My assumption is we'll look back in 20 years and the "enshitification" of Windows, Google, etc., the top-down push/putsch for gen-AI in creative industries and higher ed., and the rise of neo-fascism will appear obviously connected.

The overhaul of Winnipeg’s bus routes is past due, but watching it happen is such a reminder of how hard change is when there is no trust or confidence.

The gender difference is pretty interesting.

proceeding as we began, as always.

Congrats, Winnipeg, for doing the thing because it turned out to be cheaper.

YouTube video by Middle East Eye Francesca Albanese shuts down reporter question on whether Israel has right to exist

The right of Israel to exist as a state is the wrong question. Where is the Palestinian people's right to exist, to be free from annexation, occupation, erasure. That is the question.

Here's the video:

so sharp and helpful.

Congrats on the return home, and it will be great to have you close-ish to the Peg.
