@Mawoodin Do students have to be vaccinated to participate in this?

First they came for the homeless… speak up. Tweet to @TPSOperations and demand the immediate release of all arrested at #LamportStadium

@Reuters more than a chapter, this is the whole book, the book of Canada!

Authorities in Canada uncovered the remains of 215 children, some as young as 3 years old, at the site of a former residential school for indigenous students reut.rs/3fuGZUs

215 babies buried at Kamloops Residential School as young as three years old. That's 430 parents left in mourning, that's 1720 grandparents, many will have passed on by now, without answers, without justice. More children still hidden across our lands, waiting to be found.

The bodies of 215 First Nation children were found. I think of John Kioke, Michel Matinas and Michel Sutherland -who disappeared trying to escape St. Anne's IRS. So many children died with no explanation or accountability. This isn't ancient history. It is lived trauma today.

Effective immediately: IRSSS (Indian Residential School Survivors Society) Emergency Crisis Line is available 24/7 for those that may need counselling support from today's announcement. 1-800-721-0066 or 24hr Crisis Line 1-866-925-4419

In the wake of the tragic news about the 215 children buried near a residential school, many Canadians are writing their MPs and demanding action on all the TRC Calls to Action & that Canada stop fighting First Nations kids and IRS survivors in court. And then there is this

A statement from IRSSS Executive Director Angela White on the news regarding the unmarked graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School.

Anti-black racism does not stop at the border. I have heard from people who have said that we should not worry about what is happening in the US because that is not our problem. As a Black man & a father of 3 young boys, I can tell you it is a lived reality for Black Canadians.

Violence is not a protest- it is what we ought to be protesting against -in all its forms and by all who use it (esp. those in powerful positions). I fully support the vast majority of people who are peacefully & unrelentingly seeking justice in the US & around the world.
