Wanaboozhoo helped Creator by naming all the animals. Everyone had a mate except him. He asked Creator for a mate. Creator presented him with Wolf and said what happens to one of you will happen to the other.

This has proven true throughout history.

I love the plans for infrastructure across Canada! You’re including First Nation and our needs too?

None of these plans are well thought out if you’ve excluded rights holders.

We should’ve learned this lesson in the first Trump admin. I thought he wouldn’t get re-elected after everything he did, but here we are.

We should’ve diversified more back then.

Fool me once…

Yes! Focus on things we can control.
Take calm, thoughtful, measured actions.

Time to tone down the uber tough rhetoric, which isn’t helping, and be serious.

During a crisis, serious leadership means working together and focusing on the things we can control.

Premier Legault and I are focused on protecting the Québec economy — and building it for a stronger future.

According to a statement, Myran’s family “has been notified and the Manitoba government continues to ask that the family’s privacy be respected.”

Now apply the Anishinaabe lens—that treaty means nothing to us. We will always care for the water.

Our obligations to this world will never be taken away.
