Canada’s new fast-track laws are sidelining Indigenous consent and gutting environmental protections—then calling it “reconciliation.”

Canada’s new fast-track laws double down on false promise of ‘economic reconciliation’ ⋆ The Breach
A swathe of new legislation across Canada threatens to weaken Indigenous rights and environmental protections
breachmedia.ca
This new legislation is terrifying—not just because of the environmental destruction these laws will accelerate, but because of the ways our sovereign rights get watered down to “economic reconciliation,” a mere assimilation into a failing economy built on our dispossession and genocide.

COP30 climate summit needs a power shift
These forums need to be reclaimed! We must strip away industry influence, put human rights at the centre and make outcomes binding.

We should not pedestalize or worship individual politicians, but shitting on people who are excited about a progressive grassroots campaign taking a win against a billionaire-backed, s*x offender isn’t cool either!

Brutal. I know the bandwagoner’s feelings don’t matter much here, but I have had such a special time watching the playoffs with my partner and his family, and to have newly moved across the country (something I never thought I’d do) to a city filled with so much WS excitement… Whatta gift.

My lil heart has been hurt in many ways by many people lately and I am amazed at how grief, joy, hurt, care, love, anger, betrayal, solidarity can exist all at once. Alas, it my commitment to build relationships with imperfect people so that it may birth the movement the moment requires. ❤️🩹
