Gull Bay First Nation Chief Wilfred King says he and his council “Vehemently oppose” the proposal to have Canada’s nuclear waste travel through the territory en route to Ignace. “They need our consent as well.”
This cover, by the legendary Kent Monkman, says so much. All of my book covers hold meaning. This one, is a perfect companion to the inside pages. The Knowing is a book about the matriarchal line of my family, a book about finding our lost relations. If every First Nations, Métis…

my latest for CKMS News. "Waterloo Region Police did not answer questions about the nature of Walboune's work with the force, or if they were aware of the OPP investigation when they retained her services. No one from the police services board responded to questions from CKMS"

@JonSThompson They tried that with the “Our Call” series of videos, but officers quickly stopped wanting to participate due to low morale and management abuses.

@JesseBrown @JonSThompson One point of clarification, for those playing the home game, is that the TV in question belong to the parents of SSgt Dimini’s other partner, who remains in the employ of TBPS as an officer.

@JonSThompson @CraveCanada Incredible (and heartbreaking) documentary.
What am I missing here? Isn't this duplicative? Is it meant to capture more specific info about lobbying efforts (if so, just amend the Act) or to track unregistered lobbying (if so, just amend the Act). I'm definitely missing something - this makes no sense to me.

Imagine, just imagine, the level of surveillance & over scrutiny I lived under when I worked there. Most, even other non-Indigenous employees couldn't imagine the intensity of it. It was daily. Constant. And people wonder why workplaces can't retain Indigenous employees.

So, it was a good day! Among other things, the Sgt. conceded that I never had a fair shot when I worked for him. This is important because I was put there specifically to be given a “fresh start” by Ssgt Lobsinger. #Waterloo #Police #Misogyny #Harassment
