#EXCLUSIVE: “Ontario group homes are well aware of this gap in services and resources. (They’re) essentially vultures to children and youth who are suffering,” a former supervisor with Nunavut’s Department of Family Services speaks out to @globalnews globalnews.ca/news/10324434/…

Another horrifying investigation into the privately run child welfare system.
"Staff and management allegedly referred to Indigenous youth as the company’s 'cash cows,' 'money-makers,' or even 'paycheques.'"

This new investigation from @CJarvisGlobal @michael_wrobel also reveals how Indigenous youth placed into the “care” of the child-welfare system often leaves them more damaged than when they arrived, according to former group home and CAS workers.

My jaw is on the floor over this investigation by @PattiSonntag — BNTX edited data about its covid rapid tests (the green ones in the photo that were everywhere a year ago!) in a way that made it appear more reliable to Health Canada than it actually was

1/ The rapid test supplier BTNX secured $2 billion in federal contracts in 2021-22 despite submitting incomplete data on their COVID-19 test's accuracy to Health Canada, I found during an investigation into federal procurement. @GlobalNational #cdnpoli

"Montreal is important not because it is unique, but because it proves that—in North America, in the middle of a largely car-oriented, suburban country—a vibrant, pleasant, safe and truly urban big city can thrive."

🎉 Today is Montréal's birthday! 🎉
The city is turning 381 years young.
We are a city in constant development — becoming better because of the creative + diverse citizens that call it home. Bravo everyone!

Just stop and think about this for a minute — what if YOUR city transformed a key main street this coming summer (like Montreal did with #MontRoyal, actually one of TEN such street transformations last summer) into a 2.5km long pedestrian promenade & living room with 2700 seats?

On the north shore of Lake Huron, the Indigenous child protection agency called Nogdawindamin fought to bring its children back to its communities. Now, restoring culture is the cornerstone of its plan to strengthen families. globalnews.ca/news/9532374/i…
