Today marks one year since I was arrested outside of the courthouse after 13 days of protesting over the assault of Dalia Kafi by Calgary Police officer Alex Dunn.
Alex is still employed.
Dalia has since passed.
And I have a 5-day trial for 7 charges.

Here at Edmonton’s Sacred Heart of the First Peoples Church where @Pontifex will visit Monday. Streets are blocked off & stationed with police. This area is usually filled with homeless people, most of them Indigenous, but it’s been cleared out… – at Edmonton, Alberta

Sean Chu was sworn in again one month ago. In that time, we paid him ~$9400 to lie, make his colleagues uncomfortable, and distract from important city business because he won’t do the right thing. Time to #ResignSeanChu. #ResignChu

Just a reminder that in order to enlist, statue Indians had to become enfranchised, giving up their status. This means that when they returned home, they weren’t allowed to move back to their reserve and lost any rights they had as a status Indian.
I’ve been thinking about this throughout the summer while road tripping through Alberta. Imagining what amazing things were replaced with endless cows and canola flower fields makes my heart hurt.

Frito Lays buying good press after their workers went on strike last month to protest their obscene working conditions: 84 hr work weeks, no paid over-time and in one instance, literally working a production line member to death.
