Locking people up for being poor, sick, or in crisis doesnβt 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)

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
Carneyβs traveling disinformation campaign, along with his Ministers, claiming that Bill C-5, honours treaties and modern treaties is disturbing.
Is Carney βelbows upβ 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 detailsπ§΅ππ @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.
