I’ve landed back in the place where my parents met and where I spent the first few months of my life. Looking forward to getting out on the water and on the land tomorrow with nimāmā. 🧡

Arrived back at nimāmā’s in Manitoba last night after a 10-hr drive yesterday from Saskatoon, sporting my Amachewespimawin bunny hug (aka a hoodie, you non-Saskatchewan folks!)—a gift from my cousins. Spent 11 days up north in Treaty 6, my homelands. Feels great to reconnect. ❤️

I’m not on here much this summer, by design. But when I have been, I’ve noticed my feed has become rather unkempt, rude, and often unhinged. For that reason, I’m sharing this video of a cute groundhog happily eating clover in my backyard earlier this week. You’re welcome. ❤️ ✌🏽

Am on vacation, mostly avoiding news other than Olympic coverage. I’ve been seeing the shameful vitriol (based on viral misinformation) aimed at Imane Khelif and cannot fathom how harmful this has been for her. Good article, ⁦CBC News⁩. cbc.ca/news/world/ima…

My long summer break is winding down and it has been fantastic (including my slowdown period on social media). My mind is turning toward all the possibilities that September brings. I love summer, but I also get excited when fall begins to approach. How about you?

My brave, brilliant friend and her son produced this short film about addiction. Justin Surette was 21 years old when he died as a result of an accidental overdose. His life goal was to save lives. Through this film, he is. Please take a few minutes to watch and share.💜

This! We’re raising funds to bring liquid biopsy technology to the QEII. Today is a fantastic day to donate, if you’re able. I’d be grateful for any contributions to my personal fundraising efforts: fundraise.yourrideforcancer.ca/fundraisers/fi… (or donate to any rider you know!).

Incredible -- $600,000 raised in one day, thanks to the Ramia family and to those of you who were able to donate! THANK YOU! On a personal note, I went from 32% to 80% of my personal fundraising goal yesterday, with two weeks to go. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Canada has no legal duty to ensure First Nations have clean drinking water, even if Liberal ministers publicly suggest otherwise, federal lawyers say. That's the defence Ottawa is expected to mount as it fights a national class-action lawsuit this week. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

How's everyone feeling about this platform lately? I still love to see posts of those I follow; but I'm now seeing my feed overrun with dreadfully racist, truly hateful content. Yes, I want to read all kinds of views. But it seems there's much less civility than ever. Just me?

“…Canada reported it had no documents on sexual abuse at St. Anne's, which operated from 1906 to 1978... In reality, the Department of Justice was sitting on some 12,000 relevant police investigation records and documents from criminal trials and civil lawsuits.”
