You're in the business of communication so if there's a gap, your audience isn't to blame (as you imply). Problem is there's no way to turn annexation into a polite radio chat. There's no "just asking questions" on a threat of war. You're doing the authoritarian's work for him and we can see it.

Still complicity. Stop normalizing this threat to our sovereignty. People are *furious* and an attempt to deflect with a rewording is insulting.

You cannot save the world but you can open the window for the trapped wren in the cellar.

Flag Day

It’s now been three weeks since I started my newsletter BIidajimowin with @winnipegfreepress.com - where you get a column, five Indigenous news stories, and my Reconciliaction of the week all for free in your inbox! Subscribe on the Freep website!

Winnipeg used to make a living flag every Canada Day. They've since stopped the practice but they got some amazing shots of the various events held over the years. First is Portage and Main, second and fourth are at the baseball park and the third is the Manitoba Legislature. #canada #flagday

Chalk one up for the Pope. He tells Vance that from a theological perspective he is a moron.

“Effectively, Poilievre’s proposal demonstrates such a fundamental misunderstanding of Canada’s criminal justice system, street-level drug trade and his own promise to provide addictions treatment that it lacks not only logic, but any semblance of seriousness.” @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

This is what's wrong with Winnipeg City Council!

The Tim Horton’s Super Bowl 🏈 commercial about football being the 2nd best game is the most Canadian of commercials, lol.

Bob Rae, Canada's ambassador to the United Nations, reshared this post on LinkedIn. Thought I'd bring it here. @bobbyrae48.bsky.social

For ALL the pundits who told us the next election was a foregone conclusion, little more than a mercy-killing of the current government, maybe you should go back to pundit school. How many times does one have to say a week is a long time in politics. #CdnPoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Song of the day: Northwest Passage -Stan Rogers. Donald Trump is banking on the melting of the ice caps so he get at the oil and control the shipping. He wouldn't be the first white colonialist who thought he could control the great north. Ain't gonna happen grifter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVY8...

Following a White House anti-DEI order, the National Cryptologic Museum covered up exhibits of women and people of color in its Hall of Honor. The NSA reversed course after former employees mobilized.

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

My article published in today’s Winnipeg Free Press countering misinformation regarding advance directives in medical care. To be clear: advance directives are not a ‘shortcut’ to fast-tracking MAID.

@brucefanjoy.bsky.social hi! I would love to support you in some way. My son goes to school in Ottawa (different riding), but I would come up for an event if that would help. I can mobilize a lot of women!

Paging @brucefanjoy.bsky.social!! @drjengunter.bsky.social would like to help you. www.brucefanjoy.ca
