Watch tonight at 11 on @CTVToronto to hear CEO @DorisGrinspun's reaction after the Ont gov't officially repealed Bill 124. Nurses called for removal of the punitive wage restraint law. She says RNAO looks forward to working with the gov't to build back the profession @fordnation

Wab Kinew’s historic win in Manitoba suggests the lighting of the Anishinaabe’s eighth fire. What lies ahead is immense work and he carries 150+ years of colonization with him. But he also carries something greater, Anishinaabe strength. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

A friend shared this photo of my dad in NYC today. This image of the boy he was when he went to St. Michael’s breaks my heart. But it also leaves me in awe of the man he was able to become - how he reclaimed the beauty of our culture, language & community in spite of it all. 🧡

A Pulitzer & a Peabody!! What an unbelievable 2 days! This feels like undeniable proof that Indigenous stories matter & that we should support Indigenous people to tell them. We are so grateful to survivors who shared with us & hope this means more people will hear their voices.
