There is something wrong with a society when the bodies of murder victims are deemed too inconvenient to retrieve. #Racism and #Misogyny, of course, but also because they're #Tightwads.
"...The blockade went up last week after the province refused to fund a search of #PrairieGreen#Landfill north of #Winnipeg for the remains of two #Indigenous women. The city ordered those blocking the roadway to vacate by noon Monday.
It's been about 5 years since a consultant stole my favourite pen (when I explicitly asked for it to be returned) and told me that they were going to "fix #healthcare" in #Manitoba. Wonder how that's going.
Protesters blocking the landfill south of Winnipeg say their resolve is stronger after a man shoveled soil & debris on a MMIWG mural near the blockade.
The blockade went after Manitoba refused to fund a search for the remains of 2 Indigenous women.
"Canadians are deeply disappointed in our conservative provincial premiers giving away our tax money earmarked for healthcare to private, for-profit companies who then charge us for care we’ve already paid for.
These #Conservative premiers seem to be trying to kill us for profit."
"Lie after lie after lie.
Come to think about it, maybe that’s why it’s called 'rage farming.' After all, many farmers spread manure. And so does Pierre Poilievre."
Ran a (unofficial at the moment) PR at Headingley Run For Wishes at a watch time of 22:38. Almost 2 minutes faster than my time last year! No idea of my place yet. #running#winnipegrunning#manitobarunning#manitoba
#Libraries are being accused of offering child porn. #Librarians explain why that's not true.
Stroll through the stacks of any #library, and you're bound to find something you don't agree with. But in parts of #Canada, people are campaigning to make public, and #SchoolLibraries remove books they claim make sexually explicit material available to minors, or even contain child pornography.
The books in question are often ones aimed at children and teens and that have content related to #SexEducation and/or #GBTQ and #GenderIdentity issues.
The librarians who have been tasked with selecting books and maintaining robust collections say the claim they would stock child pornography on their shelves is not true, and that these efforts seem motivated by personal beliefs.
Purple party bigot has found a path to actual votes. Shit.
“Bernier is running in [a byelection in Manitoba]. He opened his campaign by declaring he would introduce legislation restricting abortion access rights. This is a big change for Bernier and the PPC who, by and large, have stayed away from social conservative issues and preferred more libertarian stances on everything from abortion to same-sex marriage to medically-assisted dying.“
Skye says don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers with your booper! Spring has finally arrived in the Canadian North and Skye’s yard is filled with beautiful blooms. 🌸💕
