Canada is a rich country. Period.
When they say we can’t afford something, it’s not that we can’t afford it.
Its because they lack the political will.
That’s why *my* favorite sign here asks:
What would *you* do with $40 Billion?
(a) 2 Fighter Jets?
(b) Or 1 million affordable homes?
Canada’s Military Industrial Complex will *always* choose “A.”
These photos date back to a peace rally earlier in the year when it was starting to look as though President Trump was going to start a war with Iran. Back before anyone had ever heard of Social Distancing.
War is never a good idea.

Wet’suwet’en Land Reclamation
Over the last decade, the Unist’ot’en clan of the Wet’suwet’en nation have been re-occupying their traditional territories and defending their lands and waters from industry. We caught up with the Gidimt’en and Likht’samisyu clans who have also been building on their respective territories.

This past year we all watched the media portray a white land owner well within his right, to shoot & kill a young Aboriginal youth, for reasons the white landowner was protecting his land from a trespasser.
It’s ironic, that today the media plays out another portrayal; Aboriginal land owners, protecting ancestral, traditional land being forcibly removed by heavily armed military and tactical units. The same whites who thought it was ok that the white farmer was well within his right to kill for his land, want the government to forcibly remove, and even kill Aboriginals for protecting their land.

ONGOING Genocide in Canada
On January 7th, 2019 a team of tactical RCMP were deployed in Wet’suwet’en territory, where they forcibly removed Gitdum’ten people and supporters from their land in order to facilitate the construction of the TransCanada Coastal Gaslink Pipeline.
Last year when the RCMP was called out, they had permission for “lethal overwatch” (SNIPERS!).
Now they are back. This time they don’t want the eyes of the world on the RCMP. So they have a twenty km “exclusion zone” keeping reporters and citizens out.

On this day, 6 December 1989, 14 women, most of whom were training in engineering fields, were murdered in a mass shooting at the École Polytechnique in Montreal. The 25 year old shooter specifically targeted women, claimed he was “fighting feminism,” and killed himself after shooting 28 people. The victims’ names were: Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, Annie Turcotte, and Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz. The day is commemorated annually across Canada as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. https://ift.tt/2rm0nJn
