Nov 8th is National Indigenous Veterans Day.
Despite their bravery, many Indigenous veterans returned home to systemic discrimination. They were denied the same benefits as non-Indigenous soldiers, excluded from veterans’ programs, & in many cases, lost their Indian status due to enlistment. 1/3

No funding for First Nations education, Jordan's Principle, emergency response, or Inuit child first initiative beyond 2026 is more than just alarming, it's callous. Punishing children is not the way to balance a budget
The Carney government announced its first federal budget for Canada, but didn’t include much in terms of Indigenous priorities.

First Nations still talk about the Harper era as a difficult time. Cuts to FNs deepen the economic divide and bypass UNDRIP.
"This decision places the burden of austerity directly on First Nations peoples, while sparing the rest of the Canadian population."
"This decision places the burden of austerity directly on First Nations peoples, while sparing the rest of the Canadian population."
You failed to mention that Indigenous people are shouldering 20% of your austerity budget cuts.
This is #apartheid in Canada.

Maternal separation isn’t any less traumatic just because you know you’re adopted and grow up with a photo of your mom at your bedside. The profound feelings of rejection and loss are not eased by the love of the adults in your life.
