Mr. Floyd should be alive today and should be with his family who continue to show courage, grace, and resilience.

Last month’s verdict provided some justice. But it doesn’t solve the persistent issue of police misconduct and use of excessive force. It doesn’t take away the pain. We must do more.

There's no such thing as a "labor shortage" There are industries and companies that refuse to pay people enough to work there

Stop saying "money doesn't buy happiness." A person making $100k won't be happier getting to $110k. But lifting someone out of poverty is the most effective anti-depressant in the world.

One of capitalism's biggest PR scams is the "philanthropist." The average billionaire donates 1% of their fortune to charity yearly - less than non-billionaires. But when you donate $200 you don't get glowing articles, a hospital named after you and a massive tax write off.

Mi'kma'ki is my home. All of my family & relatives live there. Racist non-native fishermen continue their violence with what appears to be full impunity. @rcmpgrcpolice @DFO_MAR @JustinTrudeau are allowing this to happen. This is terrorism on Mi'kmaw land. #Mikmaki #treatyrights

A mob of 200 white ppl threaten Mi'kmaq lobster fishers: RCMP does nothing. A handful of Haudenosaunee defend their land: OPP arrests dozens. Meanwhile, what is never enforced is Canada's own legislation, the treaties Canadian leaders have knowingly signed. Links below:

It has taken far too long for the @CityofVancouver to address calls to action by @hogans_alley and other groups with great ideas for community development. CoV says it has "heard" many stories, but are they actually listening? Step up Vancouver.
