For those of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades who understood that they're autistic later in life, did you find that the realization helped you get your life into a better spot? Or did it make things more complicated?

I bought myself a little gift for my wall, by a Métis artisan. I will be very excited to mount this polished pebble art from Lake Superior.

It's a rural crime wave. Keep a wary eye on your pathways, village-dwellers.

What was I doing in Parliament and the Senate last week? Talking about reviving Indigenous law to resolve domestic disputes without resorting to the over-used criminal court system.

For too long, Canada's criminal justice system has failed survivors of sexual violence. It's time for survivors to have more effective #AvenuesToJustice.

Shared my voice in both houses today. On violence against two-spirit and revitalization of Indigenous law. And got complimented on (of all things!) my voice. Not bad for a day's work. #Senate #Canada #Indigenous #TwoSpirit #Parliament #Violence #Gender

"The high-water mark for the Great Lakes Metis at Sault Ste. Marie was the first half of the 19th century... Sault Ste. Marie was an important focal point for the Metis culture during this era... there was a visually, culturally, and ethnically distinct Metis community in the area in and around Sault Ste. Marie that traced its roots to the marriages between early French fur traders and Indigenous Ojibway women... that the Metis society flourished in the Sault Ste. Marie area from the early years of the 19th century until 1850 and the signing of the Robinson-Huron Treaty." -R. v. Powley
"Upon every occassion that I have visited the Lake Huron tribes an appeal has been made to me to remove the disability imposed upon the Class of Half-Breeds not only by the elder members of the Indian Communities but also by the Half-Breeds themselves..." -Chief Superintendent of Indian Affairs Samuel Jarvis, February 1840

"... your Petitioners most humbly beg your Excellency will take their case under your Excellency's consideration and that your Excellency would be please to allow them to have the same advantages that persons of the same class (living at the Sault St. Marie and other places on the shores of Lake Huron) derive from the issue of Indian present to them and their families." - Petition from the "Halfbreeds residing in the town of Penetanguishene," 1840

"The incident prompted the Government of Canada to dispatch William Benjamin Robinson in 1850 to negotiate treaties... He refused to deal directly with the "half-breeds" but told the Ojibway chiefs they could share their treaty entitlements with the "half-breeds" if they wished." -R. v. Powley

Over the last year, two Inuit right to housing advocates, travelled, gathering their stories and first-hand experiences of what it’s like trying to find affordable, safe, and secure housing in the North.

Stark Truths is an eye-opening exposé on the state of housing in the North, as told by Indigenous community members who face rampant human rights violations every day.

The increasing proliferation of the use of "y'all" on the internet in daily parlance leaves me no choice for rebellion except to start using the Northern Ontario equivalent, "youse". So, I hope youse are all staying clear of the forest fires, that youse have your asthma medication nearby if applicable, and I hope youses' mast cells hold tough through this. ;-)
