Super proud of my lil sister Kaniehtiio Horn who fought till the finish line for her book Son of a Trickster. A strong funny story who’s characters help expand readers appetites for indig style storytelling beyond tragedy & towards indig views of strength and personal sovereignty

I am so sick of this! Racism and the state is endorsing and supporting it. We need regular Canadians to speak up and speak out against it or your silence is endorsing it! cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

Wow what and epic display of white privileged in Washington DC today. Had those protesters been of colour, their leader would have been arrested for inciting violence and deemed a terrorist and many or most would have been shot and killed..not called patriots and let go.

Black, Brown & Indigenous people are met w/ violence & brutality when protesting their human rights. Yesterday, white supremacists attempted to overthrow a democratic election w/ deadly weapons — incited by the President. The police reaction showcases systemic racism in action.

This tweet keeps getting deleted. “M. St-Onge how did WPCanada keep its funding w/0 oversight from Sport Canada even tho 20yrs ago an investigation exposed these issues. We lost everything & suffering great mental anguish trying to stop what WPCan & the Gov’t let keep happening”

At 3am we received some right wing Christian hate mail. They didn’t like our “evil” Halloween decor. Seems they felt they needed to sneak up- why not say it in the daylight? CTV News @ottawapolice

Thinking about my colleagues at CTV who have lost their jobs in the mass layoffs today. But I'm also thinking about news consumers in Canada. We need various sources of credible news in this age of disinformation. Choice and competition make for better journalism.
