As an Honorary Witness of the TRC I committed to Survivors to calling out denials of genocide when I hear them

Here's the exchange between @WabKinew and Dr. Alan Lagimodiere, the new Indigenous Reconciliation and Northern Relations minister.
"What’s humorous to me is that we’re finally proposing a clear, ambitious, but necessary and grounded policy on the scale of the problem. And so it’s hard for the Republicans to refute the actual policy on its substance."
I would encourage Canadians not to look away from this brutal racism. It is ugly & unsettling but speaks to the need to address racism, both systemic & individual.
On Orange Shirt Day let’s renew our commitment to the TRC Calls to Action & Inquiry #cdnpoli
Chapter one is Indigenous history...

Earlier today I tested positive for COVID-19.
I figured I’d let folks know why I’ll be participating in the upcoming legislative session virtually.
It’s really important that everyone get vaccinated as soon as they can — including booster shots & vaccinations for kids aged 5-11
The symbols of hate, the disrespect of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the defacing of the Terry Fox statue are all unacceptable.
Vaccines are safe & effective.
Those advancing misinformation are harming our society.
It’s important for all leaders to condemn this nonsense
We have formally requested the flags at the legislature be flown at half mast for the #215children found in a mass grave at Tk’emlups.
It’s important this happens. #mbpoli
A leaked recording of the Manitoba PC election campaign co-chair saying many young people are being "brainwashed" at universities and schools
Why does the PC government wait for things to become an absolute crisis before doing anything?

An Indigenous Languages Commissioner isn’t going to help a single young Neechee learn their language.
If Feds want to undo some of the damage they’ve done to Indigenous languages they should be funding community-driven Indigenous immersion schools & after school programs!
I'm very sad to confirm Danielle Adams, the NDP MLA for Thompson and a dedicated mother and partner, passed away this afternoon.
Danielle fought hard for a better life for families, northerners, & kids across Manitoba.
To our dear colleague and friend—we will miss you so much!
Right on Jagmeet

Jagmeet Singh breaks down when asked about visiting unmarked graves at Marieval Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan. NDP leader was asked how he felt as an expectant father. Singh paused, appeared to fight back tears, said Indigenous justice is the issue, not him.

For sure, it’s a different language so kind of undermines the question. Like saying thanks to a question on French. Nia:wen would’ve been better
Honoured to be sworn in beside & the other 12 NDP MLAs. Nahanni & I swore our oaths with our pipes!
I wrote Premier today asking that we put out a joint statement across party lines calling for the convoy to go home and leave downtown Winnipeg, the Emerson border crossing and stop disrupting schools and hospitals immediately.
As a father I’m heartbroken. As a leader I see we failed #TinaFontaine many times during her life & after. As a pipe carrier I’ll pray with my family for this little girl & her relatives. We have to do better, but tonight & tomorrow let’s support a grieving family & community 💔
I wrote to the Prime Minister today asking him to close the loopholes that allow massively profitable companies to take federal wage subsidy money & then cut jobs.
Bell’s closure of TSN 1290 & cutting other jobs around the country while taking $122M in wage subsidies is wrong.
The Premier of Manitoba put out 3 statements today on the convoy & not once told them to go home.
She did send her Minister out to repeat convoy talking points.
Seems she cares more about what the convoy thinks than a closed border, occupied downtown and a school on lockdown
I can’t believe I’m saying this for the 2nd time this week but…
I condemn Anti-vaxx & pro-convoy protesters for targeting Manitoba schools.
Leave the kids alone.
It would be good for the Premier to say something about this and to tell the convoy to pack up.

Very powerful to see the support for Residential School Survivors, their descendants and those who never came home on this #OrangeShirtDay2021

I want to congratulate all for the hard work in defeating Bill 64 — the NDP delayed it because if we hadn’t it would’ve passed 2nd reading back in March before anyone heard about it.
It’s a testament to the hard work of parents, students, teachers & those who work in schools!
In response to and streaming on Twitch tonight I’d like to announce my upcoming stream of me playing Minesweeper 😂
Dear in the have you said “no” to shipping vaccines from North Dakota to Manitoba?
Asking for a friend.

Hiding this person from sight while continuing to provide them with a comfortable lifestyle is not justice. Further steps must be taken to follow up and ensure this doesn’t happen again.
