OH, CANADA 🇨🇦 home to talented creatives bringing some of our most beloved shows to life, like NORTH OF NORTH, filmed in Iqaluit, Nunavut.

Seems like it’s time for interested First Nations to revive the Six-Point Strategy on Aboriginal Title, that the late Arthur Manuel developed, as Co-Chair of the Delgamuukw Strategic Implementation Committee (DISC)!

Looking back on a summer full of adventure ☀️ Winona had a blast exploring Christie Conservation and African Lion Safari! 🌿🦁 What was your favourite summer adventure? #HelpingBuildGreatLives #HamOnt #InclusionMatters

November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month (NEAM), which celebrates the unwavering strength, resilience, and courage of epilepsy warriors, alongside their families, caregivers, and advocates. #NationalEpilepsyAwarenessMonth #Disability #Inclusion epilepsy.com

Highlights from #Budget2025 in the out years 2026. Zero dollars for Education Zero dollars for Long-term care Zero dollars for Climate Emergency and Fires Zero dollars for Flood Mapping @CanadianGreens @NDP @CPC_HQ @ElizabethMay @DonDavies @PierrePoilievre #cdnpoli #Indigenous

@Dave_Eby #Budget2025 has abandoned First Nations #cdnpoli, with zero dollars allocated for healthcare and zero dollars for education.

Our country is facing an existential moment. The only path forward for Canada — and British Columbia — is in true partnership with First Nations. Full stop.

Indigenous Disability Awareness Month raises awareness about and celebrates the significant contributions that Indigenous people experiencing disability bring to our communities. #IndigenousDisabilityAwarenessMonth #DIsability #Inclusion supportedemployment.ca

@ccpa @DavidMacCdn It’s starting to feel like non-Indigenous folks are getting a taste of what Indigenous communities have faced for generations — big promises, then a bait-and-switch. Budgets sound bold, but delivery falls short. We’ve seen this story before. #cdnpoli #Indigenous

“There’s huge differences between what were in the election platforms and what are actually being proposed in the budget,” said @DavidMacCdn senior economist with the @ccpa #Budget2025 #cdnpoli thestar.com/politics/feder…

@APTNNews #Budget2025 No funding = no services. Children pay the price. #cdnpoli

Tonight on APTN National News: The Carney government unveiled its first budget, but didn’t say much on Indigenous priorities. The third anniversary of an unsolved homicide has family make public appeal for more action. youtube.com/live/NFxdA7UvJ…

@AFN_Updates #Budget2025

It’s time to move forward on a path that leads to prosperity for all. #Budget2025 is an opportunity for the federal government to commit long-term investments in justice & rights, capacity building and self-government, and return of lands. These priorities are essential for meeting Canada’s obligations under the #UNDRIP. Read the AFN Pre-Budget Submission: ow.ly/G9JA50Xc2IG.

Jordan’s Principle isn’t abstract — it funds Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and Psychologists who travel from cities to remote First Nations to support kids. Non-OHIP covered services. #budget2025 #cdnpoli #HealthCare Most are small business practitioners.

#Budget2025 front-loads “#Indigenous Reconciliation” but guts real support after 2025–26. Emergency management $706M → $0. First Nations K–12 $155M → $0. Post-secondary? $0. Fire + flood prevention? $0. One-year funding is not reconciliation — it’s abandonment. #cdnpoli

Budget 2025 puts the weight of this country on the backs of First Nations again. Supports cut, Jordan’s Principle limits tightening, post-secondary + fire-prevention needs ignored. We are always asked to do more with less. This is not reconciliation — it’s abandonment. #cdnpoli

Flagging partners who continue to defend First Nations children + families: @cblackst, @AFN_Updates, @ChiefsofOntario, @APTNNews, @CBCIndigenous — these cuts demand urgent attention. #cdnpoli

We look forward to seeing how all political parties will support Jordan’s Principle moving forward. Clear commitments will help ensure Indigenous children continue receiving the care they deserve. #JordansPrinciple #IndigenousHealth #ChildFirst #cdnpoli #lpc #gpc #cpc #ndp

Canada created the backlog - and left the burden of it on the shoulders of children. The best holiday gift Canada could give is to take responsibility, roll up its sleeves and fix the problem it created asap. Vague answers and violating legal orders does not help kids

Canada can't say when 140,000 backlogged cases will be cleared at First Nations children's program Read more: cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

Breaking: another win for children, youth, families and Jordan’s Principle. Orders Canada to immediately address the thousands of unopened requests, pay bills on approved requests in a timely way and more🧡

While we tend to think of the K*K*K as something that only existed in the United States, there was a period of time in the 1920s when the group was very large, and politically powerful, in Western Canada. Let's learn more about this dark time. 🧵1/12
