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.

At powwows, the tiny tots category is the best. Sometimes babies fall over or just stand there. But we don't treat it as a joke. They get a real song. We honour their little dances. We love them!
How utterly cruel that they knew that taking them would break us, again and again.
