Locking people up for being poor, sick, or in crisis doesn’t solve the problem and in fact makes it worse. When people are detained instead of supported, they often lose housing, jobs, and vital connections. That instability drives desperation, which fuels crime and social harm. (1/6)

Lawyer Cindy Blackstock is informing the public of Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social β€˜s breach of the Jordan Principle’s court ruling by cutting programs to Indigenous children like the food voucher program in Nunavut. Enough is enough pretending he isn’t hurting them, Liberals. #cdnpoli

We don’t need more cops or stricter bail rules or bigger prisons, is everyone on drugs? We need after school programs and full tummies.

I have a thread in a private group chat titled β€œAsdis’ bullshit thoughts that at one time would have been tweets” and I get all my post jonesing out there. Highly recommend.

Today’s online flood of transphobia is brought to you by the Alberta provincial government and genocide denial by the Canadian federal government, in case you thought Canada was morally superior to the United States.

Please share or help if you can, please keep demanding your leaders do everything in their power to save these people's lives.

Bill C-5: Now What? | First Peoples Law | Bruce McIvor Prime Minister Carney made it clear last week when he met with Indigenous leaders that he doesn't intend to make changes to Bill C-5

Carney’s traveling disinformation campaign, along with his Ministers, claiming that Bill C-5, honours treaties and modern treaties is disturbing.

Is Carney β€œelbows up” against Indigenous peoples?

Ottawa and Gatineau will 'bear the brunt' of public service cuts: report A new analysis finds the government could cut the equivalent of more than 24,000 full-time jobs in the National Capital Region.

Now calculated potential staffing cuts from the fed public sector cuts announced in July. TLDR, they'll be big, probably over 57,000 by 2028-29. I got some good coverage in the @ottawacitizen.com but here are the brief detailsπŸ§΅πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ @policyalternatives.ca ottawacitizen.com/public-servi...

If you're using "yeah, well, Poilievre would have been worse" to cope with your cognitive dissonance rather than speaking up about what Carney is doing (or even telling others to be quiet about it), you're an even bigger part of the problem now.

These are the bills First Nations are challenging, Bills Carney’s own MP said β€œwould make Harper blush.” Liberals know this is wrong, legal professionals know this is wrong, and Indigenous people know this is wrong. Economic prosperity means nothing if we destroy the environment. #cdnpoli

I am sorry that chasing our reprobate politicians probably takes up so much time you would much rather (and should!) spend doing the activities that feed your soul.
I really appreciate all you do to keep us informed and politically activated. Thank you.
