My heart aches hearing about the death of Latjor Tuel, a Calgary man with mental health issues, who was shot to death by police. >70% of those who are killed in police interactions suffer from mental health & substance use problems. We must find a better way. RIP Latjor Tuel 💔

3 in 4 people killed while interacting with Canadian police have a severe mental health challenge like PTSD. White People are over 12x more likely to be referred to mental health support, than Black and Indigenous People. Police reform & divestment are #CdnHealth imperatives.

What will it take, Canada? Another 16 Indigenous lives lost, dismissed by Thunder Bay Police without proper investigation. A new report demands a reinvestigation of them PLUS 25 Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls. @willowfiddler The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

It is alarming to see #2SLGBTQ+ inclusion training and initiatives *not include* #2S (#TwoSpirit) People. We are literally right there - at the very beginning of the hashtag you have used. We have also been here since the very beginning of human occupation on #TurtleIsland. 🏳️‍🌈

Raise your hand if you think Saskatchewan needs a Social Services Minister who doesn’t tell women to “keep their mouths shut” about gender-based violence. 🙋‍♀️ #skpoli

1.3 million = $ prairiehr needed from the province to run a 24/7 safe consumption site. 1.3 million = cost of a single HIV infection to the public. #Sask has the ⬆️HIV rates in 🇨🇦 driven mainly by substance use. We can’t afford more of the Sask Party’s cruel shortsightedness.

The systemic, structural, and institutional change we work toward, begins with the expertise and wisdom of those we sit with. #MentalHealth #Next150 #BLM #LGBTQ #YXE #Saskatchewan

BREAKING: Toronto Police have released data showing Black people were 230% more likely to have a police officer point a firearm at them when they appeared to be unarmed than white people. I don't want to hear anyone say that systemic racism doesn't exist in policing EVER AGAIN.

They're taking tactics being used in the US and applying them in Canada the next week. We need to be planning how to stop them from taking away reproduction rights, LGBTQ+ rights and BIPOC rights NOW.

Stares Indigenously, while the Indian Act blows through my hair. #smdh

It's fucking rich that Cameron thought Indigenous cultures, philosophies and histories were rich enough to steal for his Avatar movies, but doesn't consider WHY those cultures, philosophies and histories still exist. Our ancestors fought to keep them alive, same as we do today.

It's time for change. #skpoli

Wake the fuck up, Canada! Our media relentlessly demonizes Trudeau, fueling a perpetual hate machine that’s blinding us to the real danger—Pierre Poilievre. He’s a Trump clone, spouting US Republican tactics without a shred of genuine belief, all to seize power. Our media’s

Why is nobody talking about this

As an historian, I gotta say that watching the society I live in slowly destroy itself has been a pretty harrowing intellectual experience.

Thank you for this 🙏
