Black history is more than injustice and perseverance against persecution. Our cultures are rich, community-driven, distinct and retains commonalities everywhere in the world. The injustice is what you brought to us. Say it with your full chest
Black history is the human race. You’re welcome.
The history of Black Canadians is one of relentless progress, earned through perseverance, and carried forward by opening doors for so many to follow.

This week, we celebrated 30 years of Black History Month in Canada.

The future is not settled. Things can be better. We could have it all. Anything is possible.

Choose a cause within your reach. Find your people. Get involved. Mask up.

The antidote to despair is action ✨

"Reconciliation cannot occur when one party can decide whether it happens at all. It must occur between the Crown and Indigenous peoples, as legal and political equals. Courts do not replace that work; they ensure it cannot be walked away from" -Marilyn Slett

The push to go fully mask off!
A former OneBC staffer previously participated in a Spaces call with the leaders of white nationalist/"Canadian nationalist" organizations.

They talked about deporting 10 million people and joked about throwing "millions of Punjabis" into the sea. 1/3 thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

Strong environmental laws depend on strong public scientific capacity. Cutting ECCC science & policy capacity weakens enforcement, accountability, & the protections Canadians rely on for clean air, water, and a stable climate.

Carney’s government is cutting hundreds of environment and science jobs. Here’s what that means for Canadians | CBC Radio
Scientists and labour leaders are warning that cuts to Environment and Climate Change Canada could significantly impact the health and safety of Canadians as well as Canada's wildlife and environment.

If this probe into Toronto Police Service breaks to find what it’s looking for, the potential to change police oversight across Ontario will be significant.
Thunder Bay is the canary in Toronto’s cop mine.
TPS requests to the inspector general include investigating management, oversight, evidence handling, digital file authority & tampering.
These are the defining characteristics of systemic problems.
You just heard about TBay police first.

“A government that was trying to do something in an ethical way wouldn’t have brought in legislation like Bill 5 that would basically wipe the board of any environmental laws or health laws, safety laws to develop these deposits,” [Anna] Baggio says.

Now that we have cheaper and cleaner alternatives, expanding fracked gas exports might be good for oil companies and increasingly authoritarian petrostates, but it is:

bad for affordability,
bad for security,
and bad for the climate.

Myth: Clean transport is still ages away. Reality? It’s happening now! Investment in clean energy is outpacing fossil fuels, with 80+ countries pushing for a phase-out plan. EVs, e-buses, and bike-friendly cities are slashing oil demand. Let’s hold leaders accountable and stop new fossil expansions!

Hey, this Bovino thing is a pathetic attempt to make all these horrors the fault of one guy, and it would be a serious, serious crisis if people fell for it. ICE needs to be abolished, bc this - terror, murder - are what it exists for. Nothing else. This is just an attempt to mollify us. Stay angry
