The deafening silence from the politicians is only making us louder John Horgan thinks this issue will just go away. But it's not. He cannot ignore this for much longer. #Unistoten #ShutCanadaDown #WetsuwetenStrong

We redecorated the Justice Minister’s office. The minister refused to meet the demands of the Indigenous Youth so we are staying put! Join us! Inside or outside - they just said they will not lock the doors. 284 Wellington st in #Ottawa #wetsuwentenstrong #AllEyesOnWetsuweten

"... of hate in our communities and come together as one. To make our country safe, we must support each other, especially the First Nations of this land. We are fighting racism, not people." (2/2) Sentence I hope is published in the Province by John Horgan Feb 11th #ShutCanadaDown

newrepublic.com/article/156214… "..beyond the soft focus ads & hollow pledges about partnership, there remains the violence of the project—a violation of the land itself & the #Wetsuweten hereditary chiefs, the matrilineal leadership of the First Nation, who have not given their consent"

I'm reaching out to ask for support for a major action. In response to leadership from #Wetsuweten & #Indigenous Youth at the leg, this Friday 14th at 8AM until noon, a whole bunch of us have committed to coordinating the shutdown of as many BC gov't ministries as we can (1/6)

This is to ask for your participation: to picket, to leaflet workers, or simply be a supportive presence for any part of the action. And most of all: share this info in your networks & reach out to other settlers so we can collectively live up to (2/6) #ShutCanadaDown

...our responsibilities to end this colonial violence in #Wetsuweten. Info session on Weds 4.30-6.00pm @ UVic (SUB, Vertigo) & another one dt at Trees (546 Yates) 7-8.30PM. These will explain the action, go over roles, and match people up to building anchors. #ShutDownCanada

"We have earmarked up to about 20 sites & believe that with 4-500 people we can effectively shut down the bulk of civil service for the day. [At the leg] there were close to 300 people gathered listening to #Indigenous youth and elders sharing stories, teachings & songs. (5/6)

"It feels like a very powerful moment in the resurgence of #Indigenous People, and a crucial one for settlers to offer heart, hands & bodies to respect #Wetsuweten law and move in a decolonial direction." - Seb Donet #calltoaction #ShutDownCanada #wetsuwentenstrong (6/6)

Tomorrow! Feb 11/20

Due to concerns over a growing encampment on the steps of the B.C. legislature, the assembly has decided to cancel the lieutenant-governor’s red carpet arrival and the traditional 15-gun salute ahead of the province’s throne speech. trib.al/OTcqVWk

I’m at the B.C. Legislature, where hundreds of people are blocking every entry point of the building in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en people, ahead of the crown speech scheduled for today.

WATCH LIVE: Protesters are disrupting operations at B.C.'s legislature ahead of the throne speech. bc.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=3…

I guess Richard Zussman must feel some like articulating some of that noble "frustration some people have with these ongoing protests." #bcpoli #legislature #ShutCanadaDown

Seriously, has anyone in Parliament ever spoken as kindly, gently, seriously as this young man is on the steps of the #bclegislature right now? #bcpoli "We're all here because we understand it begins with relationship, not with paramilitary force." #IndigenousRights #Wetsuweten

How it went down, I think: BC NDP: Hey Speechwriter! Write up that list of priorities we set in 2018 when elected, just DON'T mention anything about Reconciliation or Nation-to-Nation dialogue, and add in some careful wording around extracting natural resources... (1/3) #bcpoli

(2/3) and LOTS AND LOTS re: Building a Better Canada. Speechwriter: No. Go talk to the people on the steps of the Leg. Better yet, go listen to them. Then write your own damn speech. BCNDP: You lost me there. Go... what? Wait, are you suggesting... You're fired! #bcpoli

(3/3) Speechwriter: No, I quit. And here's a word of advice: you better work hard in the next 2.5 days, because you're about to lose your job, Premier John Horgan. Enjoy campaigning for your seat. Byeeeeee. #bcpoli #ReconciliationIsDead #AllEyesOnWetsuweten #IndigenousRights
